Frequently Asked Questions

How much do custom cabinets cost in Calgary?

Custom kitchen cabinets in Calgary typically cost between $18,000 and $24,000 for a complete kitchen, with pricing ranging from $250 to $650 per linear foot. Bathroom vanities start around $3,000. The final cost depends on your choice of materials, door style complexity, hardware quality, and special features like pull-out organizers or soft-close mechanisms. During your free consultation, we provide a detailed, transparent quote specific to your project—no hidden costs or surprises.

Most custom cabinet projects in Calgary take 6 to 9 weeks from design approval to completed installation. This timeline includes 1-2 weeks for design finalization, 4-6 weeks for manufacturing in our Calgary workshop, and 1-2 days for professional installation. Kitchen renovations typically fall at the longer end of this range, while bathroom vanities or mudroom cabinets can often be completed in 4-5 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule specific to your project scope.
Maple is our most popular wood species, chosen for 62% of our Calgary installations due to its durability, consistent grain, and excellent finish acceptance. We also work with oak, walnut, and cherry hardwoods. For painted finishes, we use furniture-grade MDF with high-quality lacquers. Calgary’s dry climate—averaging just 30-40% indoor humidity in winter—makes wood selection important, and we account for this in every build.
Yes, Planar Millwork provides a comprehensive warranty covering materials and workmanship. Our cabinets are built to last 20+ years with proper care. The warranty covers structural components, drawer mechanisms, hinges, and finish integrity under normal residential use.

Yes, our craftsmen regularly match existing cabinetry for additions and renovations. We can replicate wood species, stain colors, door styles, and hardware profiles to seamlessly blend new pieces with your existing cabinets. We request samples or detailed photos during consultation to ensure accurate matching.

Custom cabinets are built to your exact specifications with unlimited size, style, and feature options—every piece fits your space perfectly. Semi-custom cabinets come in pre-set sizes (typically 3-inch increments) with limited modifications available. Custom cabinets cost approximately 20-40% more but maximize every inch of space and offer complete design flexibility. For unusual layouts, angled walls, or specific height requirements, custom is the only option that fits properly.
Shaker-style cabinet doors are Calgary’s most popular choice, selected for 58% of our kitchen projects. Shaker doors feature a five-piece frame with a recessed center panel, offering clean lines that work with both traditional and contemporary interiors. Their timeless design tends to hold resale value better than trendy alternatives.

For full kitchen renovations, yes—clearing the space allows our team to work efficiently and protects your belongings. Installation typically takes 1-2 days for a standard kitchen. We provide advance notice and guidance on setting up a temporary kitchen. For bathroom vanities or other smaller projects, minimal disruption is typical.

Yes, our design team specializes in optimizing kitchen layouts for workflow, storage, and aesthetics. We create detailed 3D renderings so you can see exactly how your new kitchen will look and function. We also ensure compliance with Calgary building codes, including the required 18-inch minimum clearance above cooktops.

We frequently collaborate with Calgary contractors, interior designers, and architects on renovation and new construction projects. Our trade partnerships include coordinated scheduling, direct communication with project managers, and flexible billing arrangements. Contact us to discuss partnership opportunities.
