How much can a custom kitchen cost?

In 2026, a custom kitchen generally ranges from $15,000 for a small kitchen and can exceed $45,000 for a high-end project with premium materials and specialized accessories.

What are the manufacturing or kitchen cabinet process timelines?

Depending on the season and the materials selected, timelines vary between 6 and 12 weeks after final approval of the plans.

What types of kitchen materials do you offer?

We offer a wide range of materials: solid wood, wood veneer, polymer (thermoplastic), lacquer, polyester, melamine (TFL), Lummia, AGT, Sublime, Nature Plus, Finsa, Zenith, Brillante, and laminate.

What is the best material for a kitchen?

It all depends on your budget and lifestyle. Melamine and polyester are excellent materials for their value for money and ease of maintenance. Lacquered MDF offers the most prestigious finish. It is appreciated for its seamless look and can always be repaired if an accident occurs. Lummia is known for its exceptional resistance to scratches and fingerprints, its silky feel, and its excellent machinability. Polymer offers great moisture resistance. It is easy to maintain and provides a versatile aesthetic, ranging from matte to glossy finishes. Although it is durable and fingerprint-resistant, it does require protection from intense heat sources to prevent peeling. Wood remains the ultimate choice for resale value and heat resistance.

Do you manufacture the cabinets?

Yes. As manufacturers, we design and assemble your cabinets directly in our Laval factory. This local expertise, carried out by our cabinetmakers, ensures exceptional manufacturing quality.

Do you come on-site to take measurements?

Absolutely. Before anything goes into production, our designers come to your home to validate the measurements and ensure the design fits perfectly with your architecture.

Do you offer cabinet refacing?

At Armodec, we prioritize fully custom manufacturing to ensure maximum durability, but we also offer refacing by replacing the doors. While this option can generate savings, labour costs can sometimes make the price comparable to that of a new kitchen. Please note that we do not strip existing doors.

Do you create 3D renderings for kitchens?

Yes, we use advanced software to create photorealistic 3D renderings of kitchens. This allows you to virtually envision yourself in your kitchen before manufacturing begins.
