Frequently Asked Questions
What does custom kitchen cabinet installation cost in Calgary?
Custom kitchen cabinet pricing in Calgary depends on the number of linear feet, door style, material, and hardware selections. Most Calgary kitchen cabinet projects range from $8,000 to $30,000 or more depending on scope. Semi-custom options with standard sizing cost less, while fully bespoke cabinetry built to your kitchen’s exact measurements sits at the higher end. Admirari Solutions provides detailed, itemized quotes so you understand exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.
How long does a custom kitchen cabinet build and install take?
A typical custom kitchen cabinet project in Calgary takes two to five weeks from final design approval to completed installation. The build phase — cutting, assembling, finishing — takes the majority of that time. Installation of a full kitchen usually takes one to three days on site. Timeline depends on complexity, the number of cabinets, any custom features like pull-outs or built-in appliances, and material availability. Admirari Solutions communicates your project timeline clearly at the quoting stage.
What materials do you use for custom kitchen cabinets?
Admirari Solutions builds custom kitchen cabinets using solid wood, plywood box construction, and MDF depending on the application and budget. Door faces are available in solid maple, oak, cherry, or painted MDF for a contemporary look. Cabinet boxes use 3/4-inch plywood for strength and moisture resistance — a significant quality advantage over particleboard. Hardware options include soft-close hinges, undermount drawer slides, and pull-out organizers from leading brands.
Can you match cabinets to my existing kitchen design?
Yes. If you are adding cabinets to an existing kitchen or replacing a section while keeping others, Admirari Solutions matches door style, stain or paint colour, and hardware finish as closely as possible. For older cabinetry, a sample of the existing doors helps us select or custom-tint the closest match. In most cases, the result is seamless. We recommend bringing photos and, if possible, a cabinet door sample to your quote consultation.
Do you handle the full project or just the cabinet build?
Admirari Solutions handles the full scope of cabinet work: design, build, delivery, and installation. We also coordinate with flooring and painting work so trades are sequenced properly — cabinets go in before flooring in most cases, and paint touchups happen after. If you are doing a broader kitchen renovation, we can manage the sequencing across all three trades so your kitchen is finished in one clean process rather than multiple separate visits.
What areas do you serve for custom kitchen cabinets?
Admirari Solutions installs custom kitchen cabinets throughout Calgary including NW, SW, SE, and NE Calgary, as well as Airdrie and nearby communities. All work is done by our own crew — we do not subcontract cabinet builds to third parties. Most project consultations can be scheduled within a week of your inquiry.
Is a deposit required to start a cabinet project?
Yes. A deposit is required to secure your project start date and cover material costs. Admirari Solutions uses a standard deposit and progress payment structure, which is outlined in detail on your project agreement before any work begins. The remaining balance is due upon project completion. We accept e-transfer and most standard payment methods.
Can you build cabinets for spaces other than the kitchen?
Absolutely. Admirari Solutions builds custom cabinetry for laundry rooms, mudrooms, home offices, bathroom vanities, and living room built-ins. The same quality of construction applies across all applications. If your project involves storage or display cabinetry in any room, we can assess it during your free consultation and provide a quote alongside or separate from any kitchen work.
What is the difference between custom and semi-custom cabinets?
Semi-custom cabinets are built in standard sizes with a limited set of configurations and finishes — they offer some personalization but fit into predetermined dimensions. Custom cabinets are built from scratch to your kitchen’s exact measurements, meaning no filler strips, no awkward gaps, and full use of available wall space. Custom also means unlimited door style, finish, and interior configuration options. For most Calgary homes where the kitchen layout has specific constraints, custom delivers a noticeably better result.
Do you offer a warranty on your cabinet work?
Yes. Admirari Solutions stands behind the quality of our cabinet builds and installation work. Warranty terms are outlined in your project agreement. In general, we cover defects in materials and workmanship for a defined period after project completion. Hardware manufacturer warranties apply separately. If anything is not right after installation, we address it promptly — our reputation in Calgary depends on clients being genuinely satisfied with the finished result.
More About Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Calgary
How do I choose between painted and stained wood kitchen cabinets?
The choice between painted and stained cabinets comes down to your kitchen’s design direction and maintenance preferences. Painted cabinets — typically white, off-white, navy, or sage green — give a clean, contemporary or transitional look and are currently the most popular choice in new Calgary kitchen builds. Stained cabinets show the natural wood grain and warm up a space with organic texture. Painted cabinets require touch-ups over time if the surface chips. Stained cabinets hide minor marks more easily. Admirari Solutions can show you examples of both and advise based on your kitchen’s lighting and overall design.
What is the lead time for custom cabinet builds in Calgary?
Once your design is approved and materials are ordered, the typical build time for custom kitchen cabinets in Calgary is two to four weeks depending on project complexity and current shop schedule. Installation is scheduled for when the build is complete. Total time from design approval to installed cabinets is typically four to six weeks. Planning ahead and securing your start date with a deposit is the best way to hit a target completion date.
Can you build lower cabinets only or upper cabinets only?
Yes. Admirari Solutions can scope a project to include only base cabinets, only upper cabinets, or specific sections of either. Partial replacements or additions are common — many Calgary homeowners add a new island or pantry cabinet to an existing kitchen, or replace a damaged lower section while keeping existing uppers. Partial projects are quoted based on the specific scope and can be matched to the style of your existing cabinetry where needed.
Are cabinet pull-outs and drawer organizers included in the build?
Interior cabinet organizers — roll-out shelves, drawer dividers, utensil inserts, spice drawer configurations — are available as add-ons during the design phase. These are not included in base pricing but are quoted separately so you can choose which inserts make sense for your storage needs. Pull-out shelves in base cabinets are particularly popular because they make the full depth of a cabinet accessible without crouching and reaching.
Do you provide a 3D rendering or drawing before building?
Admirari Solutions provides a dimensioned layout drawing at the design stage so you can verify the proposed cabinet configuration fits your kitchen correctly. Full photorealistic 3D renderings are not standard but can be arranged for complex projects. Most clients find that a clear layout drawing with material samples is sufficient to confidently approve the design before production begins.
What is the process for changing the layout during a renovation?
If your kitchen renovation involves changing the position of the sink, moving the refrigerator, or altering other fixed elements, those changes require plumbing or electrical work done before cabinets are installed. Admirari Solutions coordinates the cabinet scope around the confirmed final layout. We do not install cabinets against a layout that still has pending changes — final measurements are taken only after rough-in work is complete.
