Custom Millwork & Built-In Solutions in Greater Montréal

Custom millwork is joinery built to a project's exact specifications — reception desks, cabinetry, feature walls, and built-ins made to fit the space, materials, and design. Stock cabinetry comes in fixed sizes and finishes off the shelf. Custom work uses filler-free dimensions, chosen materials, and detailing that stock cannot match, which suits branded retail, commercial, and one-of-a-kind residential spaces in Greater Montréal.

Custom millwork typically runs several weeks from approved shop drawings through fabrication to install — longer than the few weeks for stock cabinets. Timelines depend on scope, material and hardware lead times, and finishing. Shop drawings must be approved before fabrication starts, so we confirm the schedule early and coordinate delivery with the rest of the construction to avoid delays on site.

Case bodies are usually plywood or MDF, surfaced with wood veneer, high-pressure laminate, solid surface, or stone depending on use and budget. Exposed edges are banded or given a solid-wood edge. Pricing is generally quoted per linear foot and varies widely with materials, finishes, hardware, and complexity — custom costs more than stock but is built to last decades.

Usually, yes. Species, stain, laminate and hardware can be matched to what's already in the space, and samples are approved before fabrication so the match is confirmed rather than assumed. Some older or discontinued finishes can only be approximated.

Near the end, once walls are painted and most flooring is down, so finished pieces aren't damaged by other trades. Because it's fabricated off site in the meantime, its timing is coordinated with the rest of the schedule from the start.

It can. Reception and service counters may need an accessible section, and materials used in exits or corridors can be subject to fire-performance requirements. These are checked during design so the millwork is permit-ready rather than adjusted after the fact.
