The design and building process

Valleau Custom Woodworking combines cutting edge technology with traditional cabinetmaking practices. The following outlines the process Valleau Custom Woodworking uses from start to finish when building your cabinetry.
Book consultation and make decisions – Book an appointment to discuss your ideas, show us photographs (if you have any) and ask any questions you may have.  John will review the details about what will be involved in building your custom project. He will  provide you with suggestions and ideas to help you make some decisions. For example, John will be able to review and discuss the following:
  • Space required for the cabinets. Will the existing space be enough or will it need to be expanded?
  • Photographs from previous cabinet jobs for ideas 
  • A customized plan to meet your every need. How much working area will be needed, what are your storage and organizational requirements; where will the eating area be and will this be different from the entertaining area?
  • Options for type, location and quantity of appliances
  • Material options for the interior and exterior of the cabinets. A variety of materials  are available with a stain finish or a paint grade finish
  • Cabinet style options - face frames with inset doors or Euro full overlay cabinets
  • Door style options
  • Ideas for lighting and a variety of countertop and flooring options
  • Names of interior designers, general contractors and sub-trades
  • Pricing to fit your budget
  • Scheduling, sequence of events and completion date

Review preliminary plan view and quote – Valleau Custom Woodworking will provide you with a preliminary plan view and initial quote for your review. It is at this time that any changes can be made to ensure the project will meet your needs. Once the discussed changes have been made, finalized drawings and a quote will be produced for your approval.

Construct cabinets - All Valleau Custom Woodworking cabinets are built from start to finish in our shop. Our experienced craftsmen build your cabinets with state of the art machines including a CNC machine which produces door profiles, and cabinet parts with the fine tuning of a specialized computer program. Cabinets are carefully sanded and finished in a high quality stain or paint colour of your choice and are ready for installation.  
Install cabinets – We believe that a proper installation requires experienced and skilled staff.  Therefore, the complete delivery and installation is done by Valleau Custom Woodworking.  

Final inspection - Once all cabinetry has been installed, qualified staff will do a final inspection to be sure everything meets your needs. There is a five year warranty on all Valleau Custom Woodworking cabinetry.  

Throughout the process from start to finish John Valleau - President will maintain contact with you.  Contact us today to book your consultation.
