It suits large and small rooms alike, on its own or as part of a renovation. Price depends mainly on dimensions, materials, design complexity, and installation. For a complete custom kitchen, expect generally $30,000 to $60,000 in Quebec, installation included; other rooms are priced after a visit and measurements.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Groupe Cartier, founded in 1998, carries out cabinetry projects across Greater Montreal, with a team of designers, kitchen specialists, and contractors who work together from plan to installation.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>What Custom Cabinetry Can Do in Your Home<\/h2>\n  <p>Cabinetry is not limited to the kitchen. Here are the most common projects, room by room:<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Living room and family room<\/strong>: bookcases, storage furniture, built-in storage walls.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Entryway<\/strong>: closets and storage for coats, boots, and bags.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Home office<\/strong>: desks and storage fitted to the available space.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Bedroom<\/strong>: closets and storage under sloped ceilings or around windows.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Bathroom<\/strong>: vanities and storage cabinets.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Kitchen and laundry room<\/strong>: custom cabinets and storage.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Countertops<\/strong>: quartz, Dekton, porcelain, or natural stone, matched to your cabinetry.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p>The advantage: every centimetre is used, including the corners where standard furniture does not work.<\/p>\n\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gc-body-img\" src=\"https:\/\/grpcartier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cropped-2887_GORINI.jpg\" alt=\"Light wood custom storage with fitted drawers, Piedmont project by Groupe Cartier\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n  <h2>How Much Does Custom Cabinetry Cost in Montreal?<\/h2>\n  <p>Price varies widely from one project to another, because each piece is designed for a specific space. Six factors weigh most on the budget:<\/p>\n  <ol>\n    <li><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: the length and height to cover.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Materials<\/strong> and finishes, countertop included: the choice of surface (quartz, Dekton, porcelain, or natural stone) strongly influences the final budget.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Design complexity<\/strong>: special shapes, built-in lighting, doors and drawers.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Hardware<\/strong>: hinges, slides, handles.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Installation<\/strong>: access, on-site adjustments, preparatory work.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Integration into a renovation<\/strong>: a project included in a larger renovation is planned at the same time as the rest.<\/li>\n  <\/ol>\n  <p>Price benchmarks for a custom kitchen, cabinets, countertop, and installation included:<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Complete kitchen: $30,000 to $60,000 and up, depending on the level of finish.<\/li>\n    <li>Small condo kitchen: $25,000 to $35,000.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p>For an entryway closet, a bookcase, a vanity, or a storage wall, the price is set after the visit and measurements. For kitchen budget details, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/grpcartier.com\/en\/blog\/custom-kitchen-cost-montreal-miralis\/\">guide to custom kitchen costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <p>The surest way to know what your project will cost: a consultation, where we measure the space and discuss your needs before presenting a proposal.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>The Steps of a Cabinetry Project<\/h2>\n  <ol>\n    <li><strong>Meeting and visit<\/strong>: we take measurements and discuss your needs and your budget.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Design<\/strong>: our designers draw the plans and offer you choices of materials and finishes.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Proposal<\/strong>: you receive a detailed price before the project starts.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Fabrication<\/strong>: the pieces are made according to the approved plans.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Installation<\/strong>: the team installs the pieces in your home and makes the adjustments.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Follow-up<\/strong>: we check with you that everything matches what was planned.<\/li>\n  <\/ol>\n  <p>For cabinets, plan on 4 to 6 weeks of fabrication, followed by 3 to 5 days of installation.
