Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Vancouver, Built in Our Burnaby Shop
Built to your measurements in our shop on Thunderbird Crescent and installed by our own crew. 5-year cabinetry warranty.
Custom kitchen cabinets should fit the room you have. We measure in your home, build the cabinets in our own Burnaby shop, as we have since 2006, and our own crew installs them. No filler strips, and no stock sizes forced into an older Vancouver home. It starts with a free in-home consultation. Then you get a quotation, followed by drawings and 3D renderings, and we adjust the quotation until you are satisfied.
Aero Kitchen and Bath has built custom kitchen cabinets for Vancouver homes since 2006. We don’t resell flat-pack or imported boxes. Every cabinet is measured in your home, drawn around your space, and built to order in our Burnaby shop.
So the cabinets fit the room you actually have, whether that’s a sloped ceiling in a Kitsilano character home or a narrow galley in a Yaletown condo. Nothing gets forced into standard sizes.
We design the kitchen, build the cabinets and install them ourselves. If something needs fixing later, you call one company.
Most custom kitchens we build in Metro Vancouver fall between $30,000 and $75,000, including cabinetry, quartz countertops and installation. See our kitchen renovation cost guide for the full breakdown.
Why Vancouver homeowners choose Aero
Built in our own Burnaby shop
Our cabinets are made in our Burnaby workshop at 109-3191 Thunderbird Crescent. Because we build them ourselves, we can handle odd dimensions and change a design mid-project without waiting on a factory.
One team from drawing to installation
The people who measure your kitchen are the same people responsible for how it turns out. There are no outside designers or subcontracted installers to chase.
You see it before we build it
You get a quotation first, then 3D renderings of the finished kitchen. We adjust the quote as the design changes, until you’re happy with it. Here’s how you’ll see your kitchen in 3D on your own private design page.
5-year warranty, A+ BBB
Every kitchen we build has a 5-year cabinetry warranty. We’ve been in business since 2006 and have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
A showroom you can visit
Door samples and finishes are easier to judge in person than on a screen. Our showroom is in Burnaby, 15 to 25 minutes from most of Vancouver, and open 9 am to 5 pm by appointment. Call 604-559-8080 to book a visit.
Cabinet door styles and materials
We build six door styles. They differ mostly in price, look and how well they stand up to wear.
| Door style | Look | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Hardwood Square, stained or painted | Clean, square frame, classic shaker lines | Transitional and traditional kitchens |
| Hardwood Mitre, stained or painted | Frame joined at 45° corners, more detail | Traditional and character homes |
| Painted MDF | Smooth painted finish, no wood grain | Modern shaker and slab kitchens in any colour |
| Thermofoil | Seamless wrapped surface, matte or gloss | Budget-conscious modern kitchens, rentals |
| Laminate | Wood-grain or solid colour, very hard-wearing | Busy family kitchens, flat-panel modern designs |
| Aluminium | Slim metal frame, often with glass | Contemporary kitchens and feature uppers |

Storage that fits how you cook
We also fit pull-outs, drawer organizers, corner units and other kitchen cabinet accessories where they help, so the things you use every day have a proper place.
Custom vs. stock kitchen cabinets
Stock cabinets come in fixed widths, and they are shimmed and filled to fit your walls. Semi-custom gives you a few more sizes, but you are still choosing from a catalogue.
Custom cabinets are drawn for your layout, your ceiling height and the things you need to store, then built one kitchen at a time in our Burnaby shop. For a home you plan to stay in, that fit is why custom cabinets are worth the investment.
If your cabinet boxes are sound and the layout already works, refacing can be the better call. We check the boxes at the free in-home consultation and tell you which makes more sense.
Cabinet refacing
If your cabinet boxes are in good shape and it is the doors you are tired of, refacing can change the look of the kitchen without replacing every cabinet. We offer refacing: new doors, drawer fronts and panels fitted to your existing cabinet boxes.
When refacing makes sense. The boxes are sound, with no water damage, swelling or sagging, and the layout already works for you. You want a new look, so you choose a new door style and finish from our cabinet doors.
When new custom cabinets are the better choice. The boxes are damaged or out of square, or you want to move the sink, the appliances or a wall. Refacing keeps your existing layout and box sizes, so it cannot fix those problems or add storage the room does not have.
Price and timing. Refacing is priced by quote, because the cost depends on the number of doors and drawers and on the door style and material. New doors and drawer fronts take 3 to 6 weeks to make, depending on the material, and installation takes a few days to a week, depending on the scope. At the free in-home consultation we look at the boxes and tell you whether refacing or new cabinets is the better fit.

How your custom kitchen gets built
Most kitchen projects take 4 to 8 weeks from the start of work. Moving plumbing or walls adds time, and you get a timeline before anything starts.
- Free in-home consultation. We come to your home, measure the space and ask what isn’t working in your current kitchen and what you want to spend.
- Quotation. You get a written price before you commit to anything.
- Design and 3D renderings. We draw the kitchen around your layout and show you 3D renderings of the finished room. This is where you pick doors, colours and hardware, and the quote is updated as you go.
- Built in our Burnaby shop. Once you approve the design, your cabinets are built to order by our own team.
- Installation. Our crew installs the cabinetry, countertops and hardware, then walks you through the finished kitchen.
- Warranty and aftercare. Your cabinetry is covered by our 5-year warranty. See our product care guide to keep it looking new.
Every cabinet we build carries a 5-year cabinetry warranty, and the hardware is covered for life. You can see door samples and finishes at our Burnaby showroom, 109-3191 Thunderbird Crescent, by appointment (Mon–Fri 9–5): call 604-559-8080.

FAQ
How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in Vancouver?
Most of our Metro Vancouver kitchens fall between $30,000 and $75,000 for the full renovation, including custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and installation. Same-layout updates start around $15,000, and high-end kitchens with structural changes run $75,000 and up. You get an exact quote after a free in-home measure.
Are custom cabinets worth it compared to ready-made?
Custom cabinets are built to your exact measurements, so they use every centimetre of the room and fit uneven walls and odd ceilings. You also choose the door style, the finish and what goes inside each cabinet. Read more in why custom cabinets are worth the investment.
What makes a kitchen design work?
Layout first. Good kitchen design starts with where you stand, where things are stored and how people move through the room. Cabinetry, countertops and finishes follow from that.
Do you handle the design yourselves?
Yes. Planning, material selection, custom cabinetry and installation all run through us. You’re not managing separate designers and trades.
Can the design match the rest of my house?
Yes. Every kitchen is drawn around your layout, your storage needs and the style you’re after, modern or traditional.
How long does a custom kitchen take?
Usually 4 to 8 weeks from the start of work, depending on size and how much is changing. You get a timeline before we start.
Do I have to move out?
No, most people stay in their home throughout. The hard part is losing the kitchen itself, so set up a temporary spot for the kettle and microwave before demolition starts, because the sink and stove will be out of service for a while.
What warranty do your cabinets have?
All cabinetry we build is covered by a 5-year warranty. See the full warranty details.
Do you offer cabinet refacing?
Yes. We fit new doors, drawer fronts and panels onto your existing cabinet boxes when the boxes are sound. We check them at the free in-home consultation. Refacing is priced by quote.
Is refacing cheaper than new cabinets?
Usually, because the existing boxes stay and you pay for new doors, drawer fronts and panels rather than a full set of cabinets. It is priced by quote, so the final figure depends on the number of doors and drawers and the door style you choose. If the boxes are damaged or the layout needs to change, new custom cabinets are the better investment.
