Custom kitchen cabinets in Kirkland, built around the island

Twenty five minutes out the 40 from our Saint-Laurent workshop. Eighties oak kitchens replaced, bulkheads taken out, and islands drawn for the room rather than for the floor plan.

What the houses need

Matte white kitchen with a double waterfall quartz island, built and installed by Limakdeco — A double waterfall island in a matte white kitchen. This one was built for a new construction in Laval, and it is the layout most Kirkland houses can actually accommodate without moving a single wall.

Bright white kitchen with a large waterfall quartz island in grey veined stone, black bar stools and a ceiling integrated hood, by Limakdeco — A hood taken into the ceiling instead of hung below it. In a nine foot ceiling it removes the one object that always sits in the sight line between the kitchen and the family room.

The area

What a kitchen in Kirkland usually needs

Kirkland is about twenty five minutes from the workshop, straight out the 40 and down Saint-Charles or Brunswick. We are usually there the same week as a job in Beaconsfield or Pointe-Claire, which keeps the driving sensible and means a second visit is never a production.

Most of the houses we work in went up between the early eighties and the late nineties, and they have one thing in common that changes everything about the drawing: floor area. Two storeys, an attached garage, a family room open to the kitchen, and usually nine feet of ceiling on the main floor. There is room for a proper island, room for a walk in pantry if the laundry can move, and room to put the sink somewhere other than under the window. That is unusual on this island and it is worth using properly rather than filling with cabinets.

The problem in these houses is rarely space and almost always the original oak. Golden oak raised panel doors, a bulkhead above the uppers, laminate counters with a rolled edge, and a pantry that is one deep cupboard with three shelves. The layout normally survives. The finishes do not. So the honest conversation at the first visit is whether you need a new kitchen at all, or whether new fronts, new counters and a reorganised interior will get you ninety percent of the way for a third of the money. Sometimes it will. When the boxes are melamine over particleboard and the shelves have started to bow, it will not, and we say so.

What we usually end up drawing

A large island with seating on one side and drawers on the other, sized so two people can pass behind a person standing at the sink. Uppers to the ceiling with the bulkhead absorbed or removed. Deep drawers instead of low doors everywhere they will fit. A tall pantry with roll out shelves. A quartz counter with a waterfall end if the island is the room's main object, and a matte or satin front, because a nineties gloss reads dated far faster than a flat matte does.

How the visit works

We come to the house, measure every wall and photograph the room. Free, usually within the week.
You get elevations drawn in AutoCAD, so the kitchen is settled on paper before anything is cut.
The price is written, itemised and fixed against those drawings.
Everything is built in Saint-Laurent, then delivered and installed by our own people.
The doors carry a ten year warranty, and the hardware keeps its manufacturer coverage.

What we do here

Every service, in Kirkland

The same eight services we run everywhere else, delivered from one workshop in Saint-Laurent. Most Kirkland projects combine cabinetry with new countertops, and about a third of them start as a refacing question.

Questions from Kirkland

What people in Kirkland ask us first

Do you work in Kirkland yourselves, or subcontract it?

Ours, from end to end. The measure, the AutoCAD drawings, the fabrication in Saint-Laurent and the installation are all Limakdéco. Nothing is handed to a third party crew, which is why the island panels and the end scribes come out matched rather than approximate.

How far is your workshop from Kirkland?

About twenty five minutes on the 40. We are at 4130 Boulevard Thimens in Saint-Laurent, with free parking at the door. Door samples, hinges, drawer boxes and stone slabs are all out on the floor, and one visit usually settles the colour question that photographs never do.

Should we replace the oak kitchen or reface it?

It depends on what is behind the doors. If the boxes are solid, square and the layout works, refacing gives you a new kitchen for roughly a third of the price. If the boxes are melamine over particleboard with sagging shelves, if you want deep drawers where there are only doors, or if the island is too small, replacing is the honest answer and refacing would only delay it. We tell you which at the measure and we do not push the larger job.

How much does a custom kitchen cost in Kirkland?

It follows what is in the kitchen: linear feet of cabinetry, box and front materials, the number of drawers, whether appliances are panelled, the island size, and the stone. Kirkland kitchens tend to be larger than average with a serious island, so they sit above a standard galley. We measure, we draw, and we hand you a written price. Both steps are free.

Can the bulkhead above the cabinets come out?

Usually. Most of them are framing and drywall with nothing in them, in which case we remove it and run the cabinetry to the ceiling. Sometimes there is a duct, a plumbing vent or wiring inside, and then we absorb the bulkhead into the cabinet run instead so the line still reads as one piece. We check what is in it before quoting rather than after.

Do we need a permit from the City of Kirkland?

Replacing cabinetry is interior finishing work and normally needs nothing. Moving a load bearing wall, changing plumbing runs, altering an opening or anything visible from outside goes through the city. We tell you which side of that line your project falls on at the visit, before any drawing is paid for.

How big should the island be?

Big enough for the traffic, not as big as the floor allows. We plan for at least forty two inches of clear walkway on the working side and thirty six on the others, and for seating we allow twenty four inches of width per stool with a fifteen inch overhang. A lot of Kirkland kitchens can take a ten foot island, and a good number of them are better with an eight foot one.

Which nearby areas do you cover?

Beaconsfield and Pointe-Claire are minutes away, Dollard-des-Ormeaux is just north, and we work across the rest of the island, Laval and the South Shore. The service areas page lists every one.

Limakdéco builds custom kitchen cabinets in Kirkland and next door in Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Dollard-des-Ormeaux and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, as well as cabinet refacing, bathroom vanities and quartz countertops throughout the West Island and Montréal. See every area we serve →
