Custom Cabinets and Millwork
At J&J, we believe in making the custom cabinetry process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Whether you’re planning a dream kitchen or just need the perfect mudroom storage, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s how we do it:
Getting a Quote
Being a fully custom cabinetry and millwork provider, we need to know specific details of a project before offering accurate pricing.
We offer 2 ways of receiving an estimate on your project:
Full Service Exellence
Ready to dive in and let the professionals handle it? With our full-service design option, you’re in for a high-end, worry-free experience. Here’s how it works:
1. Design Deposit*
2. Site Visit
3. Designing
4. Revisions and Quoting
5. Getting Cold Feet?
1. Design Deposit*
We’ll get started as soon as your deposit is in place. Choose the option that fits your project:
- Small Project (Up to 5 cabinets)
- Single-Space Project (One area – e.g. kitchen or laundry)
- Multi-Space Project (Multiple areas – e.g. kitchen + pantry or full home)
2. Site Visit
A J&J Cabinetry Designer will arrange a site visit to your space where they will discuss your project in detail with you and your interior designer/contractor (if you are working with one). This is your time to explain your vision and unique project needs. The designer will finish the visit by documenting your space (measurements and photos) and asking any questions to assist them in creating your designs.
3. Designing
Your designer will create a preliminary design of your space. Specially tailored to your unique needs and budget. Using world class technology, your designer will present a detailed drawing package of the project.
4. Revisions and Quoting
1 set of design revisions are included in your design package to adjust or change the designs presented. Your revised designs will be sent for quoting with our builder once you are satisfied.
1 revision not enough? Don’t worry! You can make as many revisions to your project after a project deposit is received and the job is sold.
5. Getting Cold Feet?
Getting cold feet? Want to go in a different direction?
Not to worry! Your design deposit is not lost! Deposits may be redeemed in the J&J Showroom against any purchase made.
Design Deposits are non refundable*
Designs remain the sole property of J&J By Design until a deposit against the project is received.
Design purchase available, please speak with your designer.
DIY Dreamers
Prefer to start with a quote and keep things flexible? No problem! We offer free estimates for customers who come prepared. Here’s what we need:
- Room Type: Let us know what you’re working on (kitchen, closet, mudroom, etc.).
- Measurements & Dimensions: Grab a tape measure and jot down the details. Download our handy PDF Measuring Guide to get started.
- Photos of the Space: Snap a few pics so we can see what we’re working with.
- Materials and Styles: Visit us in showroom or let us know what materials and styles you would like to use. (Including: door style, cabinet material, drawer material, exterior finish’s, accessories and any special wants or needs)
Bring this information to one of our design and sales consultants, and we’ll provide you with a fair and transparent estimate—no strings attached.
Ready To Move Forward?
1. Secure Your Spot with a 25% Project Deposit
Once a project deposit is received, a building slot is booked with our builder and your project is now underway to becoming reality. Lead times are typically 8-12 weeks from time of order.
With your designer, make any changes or final touches to the design blueprints. With the semi finalized plans, your designer will return to your project site to double check measurements prior to order. Using the now final measurements, your designer will send off the project to our cabinetry engineers for finalization and final pricing. Any pricing changes are applied to the final payment for the project.
With final measurements and pricing in place, your designer will present the complete design package for your review. At this stage, you’ll have the opportunity to approve all details of your project. Once approved, we collect a second 25% deposit, bringing the total production deposit to 50% of the project subtotal. With your sign-off and production deposit received, your project will be submitted to our builders to begin the construction phase.
Our skilled Mennonite builders require 8-12 weeks to produce and deliver your custom millwork project to your home. During this time our team will continue to work with you to ensure preparation of the site is complete and ready for cabinetry.
J&J maintains an up to date list of approved installers who have the knowledge and the skill sets to install our Mennonite built cabinetry. Or you may complete the install personally or with a third party installer of your choosing. Installation rates for our approved installers typically range from 12-15% of the cost of the cabinetry.
