Planning Your Cabinet Project: Timeline, Budget & What to Expect

A custom cabinetry project is one of the most rewarding home improvements you can make. It adds beauty, organization, and long-term value to your home. But like any renovation, success comes from planning. Understanding your timeline, budget, and process ensures your experience is smooth and stress-free — and that your final result is everything you imagined.

At Les Armoires Séguin, we’ve helped homeowners across Ottawa, Alfred, Rockland, and Eastern Ontario turn ideas into stunning, functional cabinetry for kitchens, bathrooms, and more. Here’s what you can expect when planning your own project.


1. Initial Consultation: Where Ideas Begin

Every great project starts with a conversation. During your free consultation, we take time to understand your goals, your space, and your vision. Whether you’re dreaming of a new kitchen, refreshing your bathroom, or optimizing home storage, we discuss:

  • Style preferences (modern, rustic, classic, transitional)
  • Functionality needs (storage, accessibility, space layout)
  • Materials and finishes you love
  • Your estimated timeline and budget range

This first step sets the foundation for a design that fits both your home and lifestyle.


2. Detailed Measurements and Design Proposal

After the consultation, we visit your home to take precise measurements. Then, our designers create a custom layout using professional design tools to visualize your new cabinetry.

You’ll receive a free initial proposal that includes:

  • Design concept
  • Material and finish recommendations
  • Estimated cost and timeline

We work closely with you to refine the design until it’s perfect — no rush, no pressure.


3. Setting Your Budget

Every project is unique, but having a clear budget helps guide decisions. We’ll help you choose options that maximize value without compromising quality. Factors that influence cost include:

  • Material type (solid wood, laminate, veneer, etc.)
  • Finish (painted, stained, textured)
  • Hardware and accessories
  • Installation complexity

At Les Armoires Séguin, we pride ourselves on quality meets affordability — ensuring exceptional results that respect your budget.


4. The Manufacturing Phase

Once your design is approved, we move into production at our local workshop. Here’s where your project truly comes to life.

Our skilled craftsmen cut, assemble, and finish every cabinet with precision. Because we build locally, we maintain strict quality control and consistent communication — you’ll always know how your project is progressing.

Typical manufacturing timelines vary between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on size and complexity.


5. Installation Day

When your cabinetry is ready, our installation team carefully delivers and installs it in your home. We handle every detail — leveling, alignment, hardware, and finishing touches — so everything fits seamlessly.

Most installations take 1 to 3 days, depending on the project size.


6. Final Walkthrough and Quality Check

Before we consider the project complete, we do a final walkthrough with you. Every door, drawer, and finish is inspected to ensure perfection. We take pride in our work — and your satisfaction is our top priority.


7. What to Expect During the Process

  • Clear Communication: You’ll always know what stage your project is in.
  • Professional Service: Our team treats your home with care and respect.
  • Flexibility: We work around your schedule whenever possible.
  • Long-Term Support: Even after installation, we’re here for any follow-up needs.

8. Tips for a Smooth Project

  • Prepare your space: Clear counters and remove items from existing cabinets.
  • Communicate early: Share design preferences and questions.
  • Stay realistic: Quality custom work takes time — and it’s worth the wait.
  • Trust the process: Our experience ensures your project flows efficiently.
