Our Design Process
Space Analysis & Needs Assessment
We evaluate your storage needs and space constraints. For laundry rooms, we measure washer/dryer dimensions, plan for detergent storage, folding surfaces, and hanging rods. Pantry designs consider food storage habits, small appliance placement, and grocery shopping patterns. General storage solutions address specific items—sports equipment, holiday decorations, cleaning supplies, or hobby materials. Understanding what you store determines optimal cabinet configuration.
Custom Design Solutions
Our designers create layouts that maximize vertical space and improve accessibility. Laundry designs include upper cabinets over appliances, side towers for supplies, and countertops for folding. Pantries feature pull-out shelving for deep storage, door-mounted organizers, and specialized zones for different food categories. General storage includes adjustable shelving, closed cabinets for clutter, and specialized racks. 3D renderings show exactly how spaces will transform.
Manufacturing & Component Preparation
All components are manufactured to exact specifications in our workshop. Pull-out shelving systems are pre-assembled and tested. Drawer units are built with dovetail joints and soft-close slides. Adjustable shelving includes shelf pins at 32mm spacing. Edge banding is applied to all visible edges for finished appearance. Components are organized for efficient installation.
Installation & Organization Setup
Professional installation includes precise cabinet leveling, secure wall mounting, and functional verification. We install all shelving, mount cabinets, and ensure drawers and pull-outs operate smoothly. For laundry rooms, we reconnect washer/dryer hookups if moved. Pantry installations include pull-out system adjustment and door alignment. Installation concludes with organizational recommendations and care instructions.
Materials & Specifications
Cabinet Construction
3/4" melamine cabinets resist moisture, scratches, and daily wear. Thermally fused melamine surfaces clean easily and will not delaminate in humid environments like laundry rooms. White, light gray, and wood-grain finishes available. Cabinet interiors match exteriors for refined appearance. Adjustable legs compensate for uneven floors common in basements and utility areas.
Pull-Out Systems
Heavy-duty pull-out shelving brings deep storage contents into easy reach. Systems rated for 100+ lbs per shelf. Soft-close mechanisms prevent slamming. Full-extension slides provide complete access to items at shelf back. Pull-out systems ideal for pantry staples, cleaning supplies, and laundry products. Adjustable stops prevent over-extension.
Organizational Accessories
Wire basket systems for folded laundry. Pull-down hanging rods for air-drying. Tilt-out hampers for dirty clothes. Pantry door racks for spices and condiments. Divider systems for baking sheets and cutting boards. Specialized storage for vacuum cleaners, ironing boards, and cleaning supplies. All accessories integrate seamlessly with cabinet systems.
Counter Surfaces
Durable 1" melamine countertops provide folding surfaces in laundry rooms. Surfaces resist water, heat, and staining. Available in multiple colors to match cabinets or provide contrast. Edges finished with 2mm PVC banding. Countertops span washer/dryer units or create dedicated workspace above base cabinets. Easy to clean with damp cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
What storage solutions work best for small laundry rooms?
Vertical storage maximizes small laundry spaces. Wall-mounted cabinets over washer and dryer utilize unused space. Narrow side towers (12-15 inches wide) fit beside appliances for detergent and supplies. Pull-out organizers between appliances create hidden storage. Fold-down ironing boards mount to walls or cabinet doors. Over-door organizers add storage without floor space. We design solutions maximizing every available inch.
How deep should pantry shelving be?
Standard pantry shelves are 12-16 inches deep. Shallower shelves (12 inches) work better for canned goods and bottles—items do not get lost at back. Deeper shelves (16 inches) accommodate bulk items and small appliances. Pull-out shelving systems allow deeper storage (20-24 inches) while maintaining accessibility. We customize depth based on what you store and available space.
Can you add storage to existing laundry or utility rooms?
Yes. We regularly add storage to existing spaces without full renovation. Wall-mounted cabinets install above existing appliances. Base cabinets fit beside washers and dryers. Open shelving units create organized storage in corners or unused walls. Measurements and design consultation determine what fits your space. Installation typically completed in 1-2 days with minimal disruption.
How much do custom laundry or pantry cabinets cost in Montreal?
Custom laundry cabinets typically fall in the $–$$ range for most projects. Complete laundry room organization generally aligns with $$, while pantry systems often range from $$ to $$$ depending on size and complexity. Our pricing includes design, materials, manufacturing, delivery, and installation. We provide detailed quotes after measuring your space.
