Residential Cabinetry Calgary: Custom Cabinets for Every Room
Planar Millwork has completed 200+ residential cabinetry projects across Calgary—from $3,000 single bathroom vanities to $150,000+ whole-home packages. Unlike big-box retailers or overseas imports, we design, build, and install every cabinet in our local Calgary workshop, using materials specifically selected for Alberta’s dry climate.
Whether you’re renovating a 1970s bungalow kitchen, upgrading builder-grade cabinets in a new home, or adding custom storage throughout your house, we build cabinetry that fits your space perfectly and lasts for decades.

Is Custom Residential Cabinetry Right for You?
Custom residential cabinetry is ideal if you:
Own an older Calgary home
with non-standard room dimensions where stock cabinets don’t fit
Want to upgrade from builder-grade
after experiencing particleboard failures, warping, or cheap hardware
Are building a new home
and want quality that matches your investment
Need specific storage solutions
that big-box stores simply don’t offer
Value longevity
you’d rather invest once in 20+ year cabinets than replace in 10
Why Calgary Homeowners Choose Custom Over Stock
Fits Your Exact Space
Custom cabinetry is built to your dimensions—to 1/16 inch accuracy. No filler strips, no awkward gaps, no “close enough.” Especially valuable in older Calgary homes where nothing is perfectly square.
