How Specialized Cabinet Makers Save You Time and Money

When it comes to cabinetry, working with a specialized cabinet maker can sometimes offer big benefits, both in cost and in time. At True North Cabinetry, we design, build, and install cabinetry locally in Edmonton, with in-house installation and full control over every step. What you get is fewer surprises, better quality, and often a faster, smoother project. Here are a few ways of how choosing a cabinet company, like ours, could help you avoid wasted time, miscommunication, and unnecessary cost in the long run.

You Skip Middlemen and Stock Parts

Many projects can sometimes suffer delays and inflated costs because stock cabinets or modular systems pass through multiple hands. From manufacturer to distributor to installer, the process could be long and tedious. By contrast, we manufacture and craft all of our cabinets from scratch in our Edmonton workshop using no stock parts or pre-assembled shortcuts. This lets us control time tables, materials, and precision.

Because we do our own design, build, and installation, there’s no need to wait on external suppliers or subcontractors. That reduces risk of delays and cost-overruns.

Clear Communication Means Fewer Surprises

Miscommunication is one of the greatest time-wasters in any renovation. We tackle that by providing a collaborative cabinet design process. Early in the project, homeowners see their layout in 3D so you know exactly how your space will look before anything is built. Quality is ensured by this hands-on approach, with your vision being our guide every step of the way.

Having a consistent in-house team for design, manufacturing, and installation means fewer handoffs and less chance of mistakes such as wrong measurements, mismatched finishes, etc. that could require costly fixes.

Higher Quality From Custom Work

Because we build every cabinet from scratch in our own workshop, your cabinetry is tailored to your materials preferences, trim styles, wood species and hardware, all aligned with your vision. True North offers curated selections of materials, door and trim styles, hardware, and custom wood species so the finished product suits your home.

We also offer cabinet refacing and refurbishing, so if your cabinets are structurally sound but styling is dated, you can get a fresh, new look without needing a full replacement. The refurbishing service takes just 2-4 weeks, and we work with your specifications and what you want in mind.

Faster Turnaround & Less Hassle

Delays are often caused by waiting for parts, coordinating different contractors, or waiting on subcontractors. With us, everything is done by our own team. We handle the cabinet installation  in-house. Because our installers are part of our own cabinet makers team, not external contractors, there’s better alignment, punctuality, and quality control. We can of course work under deadlines alongside a contractor if you are renovating your property, but our focus is making sure that the cabinets will be done on time in a manner that will exceed your expectations.

Long-Term Value with Lasting Craftsmanship

Cheap shortcuts may save upfront expense, but poor cabinet construction often shows its flaws in years to come like gaps, sagging, warping, hardware failure, or finish issues. When you work with us:

• You get quality materials. We don’t use stock pre-assembled pieces; we build with premium wood species per your selection. 
• Our design emphasizes functionality that fits a real life layout, storage, and usability. We work so that there is little to no need for any modifications later. 
• We stand behind what we build and install in your home. We are proud of our work, and we want you to be too. 

Because we control every step, we can iron out the small issues that may come. We strive to make sure if anything is wrong that it is caught early, and not after your cabinets are installed.
