When Tom and Rachel finally decided to renovate their outdated kitchen, they didn’t just want a facelift. They wanted a complete transformation—and they wanted it done right. No shortcuts. No compromises. That’s when they turned to luxury custom kitchen cabinets as the foundation of their dream space.
In classic Mike Holmes fashion, this isn’t just a story about pretty doors and fancy finishes. It’s a step-by-step journey of how building it right—especially when it comes to cabinetry—makes all the difference.
Step 1: Identify What’s Not Working
The old cabinets were:
Too shallow to store modern cookware
Poorly constructed and sagging
Mismatched in style and finish
Tom put it best: “We were working around the kitchen instead of with it.”
Step 2: Consult the Pros
They started with a reputable cabinet maker who measured everything twice and asked the right questions:
How do you use your kitchen daily?
What storage challenges do you face?
What appliances are staying or coming in?
Mike Holmes Tip: “If you’re not building for the way you live, you’re wasting time and money.”
Step 3: Choose Quality Materials
For durability and timeless appeal, they chose:
Solid maple frames
Plywood box construction (no particleboard here!)
Soft-close, full-extension hardware
They also selected a custom paint color with a low-sheen finish for a modern, warm aesthetic.
Step 4: Design with Purpose
Each cabinet was tailored to a specific use:
Pull-out spice racks by the stove
Deep drawers for pots and pans
Hidden trash and recycling bins
An appliance garage to reduce clutter
Everything had its place—and function came first.
Step 5: Install It Right
The crew laser-leveled the cabinets and triple-checked alignments. Wall studs were reinforced where needed, and custom filler panels ensured a seamless look from floor to ceiling.
Mike Holmes Rule: “It has to look good, but it has to be good first.”
Step 6: Live the Upgrade
Now, Tom and Rachel cook together without elbowing each other for drawer space. Every morning starts with coffee in a kitchen that feels intuitive, calming, and beautifully constructed.
The result? Not just cabinets. A kitchen built to last.
