Undertaking a major kitchen renovation in Montreal is an important decision. The kitchen is the heart of the home: a space for living, sharing, and everyday life. To succeed in such a project, you need more than just beautiful materials. You need vision, design expertise, and sustainable products.
At Groupe Cartier, we design and build custom Miralis kitchens, combining the expertise of our interior designers with the excellence of a renowned Quebec manufacturer.
Every kitchen project begins with attentive listening.
Groupe Cartier’s interior designers take the time to understand your needs, lifestyle, habits, and priorities. Their role is to optimize the layout, streamline movement, and create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Thanks to their expertise in major turnkey renovations, our designers orchestrate every detail:
Choice of materials
Storage integration
Lighting and ergonomics
The result is a kitchen that is consistent, sustainable, and perfectly suited to your everyday life.
Founded in 1976, Miralis is a Quebec-based company specializing in the manufacture of custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets. For over 45 years, Miralis has distinguished itself through the quality of its materials, the precision of its assembly, and its commitment to innovation.
Miralis kitchens are manufactured in Quebec in Industry 4.0 factories, the result of investments totaling more than $45 million, ensuring consistent, precise, and sustainable production. This level of excellence perfectly matches Groupe Cartier’s quality standards.
Among Miralis’ flagship innovations, Luminescence transforms the way we experience the kitchen.
This lighting system, integrated directly into the cabinets and designed in the factory, improves visibility, highlights the materials, and creates a refined atmosphere.
Lighting thus becomes a true design tool, conceived from the outset and perfectly integrated into the kitchen’s architecture.
Miralis kitchens designed by Groupe Cartier feature high-quality accessories, including Richelieu storage solutions:
full extension drawers with soft close
sliding pantries
modular storage
smart corner solutions
These elements maximize space, improve ergonomics, and create an organized, fluid kitchen that is pleasant to use every day.
We support you from design to completion, with rigor, transparency, and attention to detail. Choosing Groupe Cartier means choosing:
Innovations such as Luminescence
A turnkey approach for major renovations
A Miralis kitchen designed by Groupe Cartier is not a passing trend.
It is a sustainable, well-thought-out, and perfectly executed investment. A kitchen that evolves with you, simplifies your daily life, and adds real value to your home.
In a Miralis kitchen, cabinet materials are never chosen at random. They influence style, durability, and how you will experience your kitchen on a daily basis. At Groupe Cartier, our designers will guide you toward the material best suited to your lifestyle.
High-end melamine is the most popular choice. Durable, easy to maintain, and available in a wide range of finishes, it is ideal for modern and family kitchens.
FENIX® captivates with its ultra-matte finish and silky feel. Anti-fingerprint and very elegant, it is ideal for contemporary kitchens where design is paramount.
High-end laminates offer excellent durability and versatility. They are ideal for heavily used kitchens, without compromising on aesthetics.
Natural wood veneer brings warmth and authenticity, while being more stable than solid wood. A popular choice for creating a refined and timeless atmosphere.
Similaque replicates the effect of a lacquered finish, with improved resistance. It combines elegance and peace of mind.
Lacquer, which is highly aesthetic, is reserved for projects where design is paramount, while solid wood, which is noble and unique, is often used as an accent or in exceptional kitchens.
The best material is the one that suits your everyday life.
Our designers are here to guide you, reassure you, and design a Miralis kitchen that is durable, consistent, and perfectly suited to your lifestyle.

n a high-end kitchen, the countertop is never just a choice of material.
It is a living surface. An anchor point. A signature.
At Groupe Cartier, we believe that a countertop should be as beautiful as it is smart, as durable as it is timeless. That’s why we help our customers discover the finest and most high-performance materials on the market.
Porcelain appeals with its understated elegance and remarkable durability. Ultra-resistant to heat, stains, and scratches, it offers refined finishes inspired by marble or natural stone, while being surprisingly easy to maintain. It is a safe, modern choice that is perfectly suited to everyday use.
Ultra-compact surfaces, such as Dekton, embody high technology applied to design. Composed of materials compressed at very high pressure, they are resistant to impact, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Their aesthetic is refined and contemporary, designed for those seeking uncompromising performance.
Natural stone, whether marble, quartzite, or granite, remains incomparable. Each slab is unique, each vein tells a story. It is a choice of character, one that gives the kitchen a strong presence and timeless charm.
Quartz, meanwhile, offers the perfect balance between design and peace of mind. Uniform, durable, and easy to maintain, it blends harmoniously into a wide variety of styles, from classic to contemporary kitchens.
But true luxury is not limited to the material.
It lies in informed choice, support, and precision installation.
At Groupe Cartier, we don’t just offer countertops. We guide, advise, and orchestrate every detail so that the material you choose fits perfectly with your kitchen and your lifestyle.
Because a well-chosen countertop is not only noticeable at first glance.
It is experienced, day after day.
A custom kitchen is designed specifically to fit your available space and habits, while a standard kitchen is prefabricated without adaptation. It offers more personalization in the choice of materials, storage and appliances, increasing both functionality and aesthetics.
By choosing a custom kitchen, the client benefits from a design tailored to their cooking needs, traffic flow constraints and the room’s layout. The design is created to optimize every corner and deliver a unique style coordinated with the rest of the home.
Materials, colours and accessories are selected for increased durability, easy maintenance and timeless beauty. This approach enhances real estate value and daily comfort.
At Groupe Cartier, a specialist in interior renovation in Montreal, every custom kitchen is designed with carefully selected materials chosen for their durability, aesthetics and ease of maintenance.
Yes, absolutely, and it’s actually one of the most profitable renovations you can undertake in Quebec. A custom kitchen significantly improves your property’s value by providing a space that’s both practical and elegant. Potential buyers are often drawn to well-designed, personalized kitchens.
In Quebec, real estate buyers particularly value the quality and functionality of the kitchen. A custom kitchen enhances the property’s appeal, often leads to a faster sale at a better price, and shows the care put into maintaining the home. This type of investment pays off through daily comfort and the increased property value that follows at the time of sale.
The price varies depending on size, complexity and chosen materials, but typically ranges from $30,000 to $60,000. A custom kitchen can be adapted to different budgets while still guaranteeing quality and aesthetics.
The cost of a custom kitchen depends on several factors: room size, choice of finishes, technical innovations and appliances. Groupe Cartier provides guidance in selecting options that fit your budget while prioritizing durable solutions that add value to your home. A transparent quote allows you to plan your investment while anticipating future upgrade options.
The cost of a custom kitchen in Quebec in 2026 varies considerably depending on your material choices, design complexity and scope of work. For a complete turnkey kitchen renovation, plan for an investment between $30,000 and $60,000 for a premium-quality kitchen.
Several factors significantly affect the price of your kitchen renovation project:
Unlike a standard or modular kitchen, a custom kitchen designed by professionals fits your space, your lifestyle and your specific needs perfectly. Every square inch is optimized, every storage solution is thought out, every detail is refined.
Furthermore, as we’ve seen, a quality custom kitchen offers an exceptional return on investment of 75% to 100% when reselling your property, while transforming your daily life immediately.
Investing in a Miralis kitchen designed by Groupe Cartier means choosing a kitchen made in Quebec in 4.0 factories, with durable materials, technological innovations and professional support from design through to completion.
Every custom kitchen project is unique. To get an accurate and realistic budget tailored to your needs, your space and your ambitions, we recommend consulting specialists in kitchen design and residential renovation who can develop a detailed and transparent estimate with you.
A meeting with certified interior designers will allow you to discover the possibilities, visualize your future kitchen in 3D and plan your investment with confidence and peace of mind.
The entire process, from design to installation, typically takes 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the complexity of the work and material availability. This timeline includes custom fabrication for a highly satisfying result.
Time management is crucial for a successful project. Detailed planning, including plan approval, material ordering and coordination with tradespeople, helps meet deadlines and avoid unexpected delays.
Groupe Cartier is committed to keeping clients informed and involving homeowners at every stage to ensure a smooth process and a final installation that meets expectations.

No, Groupe Cartier does not offer a cabinet refacing service. Our expertise focuses on complete interior renovation, including the custom design and replacement of kitchen cabinets, countertops and wall coverings. This approach ensures a durable, harmonious result that’s perfectly suited to your space, rather than a simple cosmetic update.
A complete kitchen renovation generally takes 6 to 10 weeks from start to finish, depending on the scope of the project and the complexity of the installations.
This timeline includes demolition, plumbing and electrical work, custom cabinet installation, countertop installation (quartz, granite or other), backsplash and finishing. Simpler projects like cabinet replacement only can be completed in 3 to 6 weeks, while major renovations with structural modifications can extend to 12-16 weeks.
Yes. Everything is taken care of in our turnkey service: countertops, plumbing, electrical, lighting and finishes.
