Custom Kitchen Cabinetsin Toronto & the GTA

A Panda Reno kitchen begins as a conversation about how you live and ends as cabinetry milled to the millimetre. Since 2018 we've designed, milled and finished every kitchen in our own shop — working in solid wood, veneered panel and painted MDF, and integrating panel-ready appliances, stone waterfalls and concealed lighting so nothing looks bought off a shelf.

The short answer

Panda Reno is a Toronto custom kitchen cabinet maker. We design your kitchen around how you cook, build the cabinetry in our own shop in solid wood, veneer or hand-sprayed paint, and install it with the same team. As a 2026 guide, custom kitchen cabinetry in the GTA typically runs $25,000–$40,000 for an entry kitchen, $40,000–$75,000 mid-range and $75,000 or more high-end, and most kitchens take 8–12 weeks from approved drawings to installation.

What we build

The heart of the home, built to order.

No two kitchens we build are the same. We start from your layout, your appliances and the way you actually cook, then engineer cabinetry around it — not the other way around. The result is a kitchen where the proportions, storage and finishes feel inevitable, because they were drawn for your room alone.

The approach

A closer look at custom kitchens.

The kitchen is the hardest-working room in any home and the one guests gravitate toward, which is why we treat a custom kitchen as equal parts engineering and design. Every Panda Reno kitchen is drawn around a specific family and a specific floor plan — never adapted from a stock catalogue — so the cabinetry resolves the room's real constraints: the awkward bulkhead, the off-centre window, the pro range you waited two years to buy.

Designed around how you live

We begin with a conversation, not a quote. How many people cook at once, how you like to store things, where the morning light falls, what frustrates you about your current kitchen — those answers drive the layout. The work triangle, the depth of the island, the bank of drawers beside the dishwasher, the landing zone next to the range: each decision traces back to how you actually use the space. Good kitchens feel effortless because nothing in them is accidental.

Built to a standard catalogues can't reach

Because we mill and finish in our own shop, we control tolerances most suppliers can't. Doors and drawer fronts are cut from sequenced material so the grain flows across the run, inset doors are fit by hand, and painted finishes are sprayed in a controlled booth rather than brushed on site. We template panel-ready appliances, integrate concealed lighting and marry the cabinetry to stone so the finished room reads as one considered piece, not a collection of parts bolted together.

Finishes chosen to age well

We steer clients toward materials chosen for how they wear, not just how they photograph — rift white oak, walnut, durable painted panel, honed and leathered stone, and solid-brass hardware that patinas rather than peels. The goal is a kitchen you still love in twenty years, not one you are tired of in five. And because we install what we build, the same team that drew your kitchen is there to level it, scribe it and fine-tune every door until it closes soft and every reveal lines up — the unglamorous final ten percent that most projects rush and we never do. We also plan for the long term, leaving room for the appliances and habits that change across a kitchen's life. From the first sketch to the last adjustment, the aim is a room that works as hard as you do and still feels generous to cook, gather and live in.

Buyer’s guide

Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Toronto: what to know.

Solid wood, veneer or painted kitchen cabinets?

Most of the custom kitchen cabinets we build in Toronto combine materials, each used where it performs best. Solid wood kitchen cabinets, in white oak, walnut or maple, are ideal for door frames, face frames, edges and anything that takes daily knocks; they can be sanded and refinished and they age with character. For large flat panels, tall doors and island ends, quality wood veneer over a stable core gives the same real-wood surface with continuous grain across a whole run and far less seasonal movement. For painted kitchens, stable MDF panels take a smooth, hand-sprayed lacquer without the joint lines that solid wood develops under paint.

A luxury kitchen is less about one material than about the details: grain matched across drawer fronts, panel-ready appliances that disappear into the run, scribed fillers instead of gaps, integrated lighting and hardware chosen to age well. Our guide to solid wood vs MDF cabinets explains the trade-offs in more detail.

Working with a Toronto kitchen cabinet maker

Custom kitchen design starts with how you cook, not with a layout template. At the first visit we measure, talk through the work triangle, storage, seating and appliances, and agree a realistic budget range. Drawings and 3D views follow, and you can revise them until every elevation is right. Appliance model numbers need to be confirmed before final drawings, because the cabinetry is built around their exact dimensions.

Once you approve the shop drawings, the cabinetry is made in our shop and installed by the same team, usually in about a week for a typical kitchen, with stone countertops templated afterwards. If you are comparing companies, our guide to custom vs semi-custom vs stock cabinets lists the questions that reveal how a kitchen is really made.

Questions

Good to know.

How long does a custom kitchen take?

Most kitchens run 8–12 weeks from approved drawings to installation, depending on size, finish and appliance lead times. We confirm a schedule before any board is cut.

Can you match a specific door style or colour?

Yes. We work in shaker, inset, slab, raised-panel and fluted fronts, and we colour-match paint or select veneers to your sample.

Do you handle counters and appliances too?

We coordinate stone fabrication and template panel-ready appliances into the design, so everything lines up and you deal with one team.

How much does a custom kitchen cost in the GTA?

As a 2026 guide, custom kitchen cabinetry runs roughly $25,000–$40,000 (entry), $40,000–$75,000 (mid-range) and $75,000+ (high-end) for the cabinetry itself. We scope every project individually and give an honest range up front.

Do you offer a free consultation and design?

Yes — a free in-home consultation across the GTA, followed by a design and 3D drawing stage so you can see and adjust the kitchen before anything is built.

Are your kitchens made in-house or outsourced?

Made in-house. We've designed, milled and finished every kitchen in our own shop since 2018 — the same team that draws it builds and installs it.
