Why Custom Kitchen Renovations Are More Cost-Effective Than Pre-Fab Options

The kitchen renovation industry has changed dramatically in recent years. With the rise of cheaper pre-fabricated kitchen suppliers looking to make a quick profit, many homeowners assume these cookie-cutter solutions offer the best value. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Custom kitchen renovations provide better long-term value, superior craftsmanship, and a hassle-free experience—all while often being more cost-effective than pre-fab alternatives.
Choosing the Right Kitchen Remodeler Matters

A kitchen renovation is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home, but not all remodels are created equal. The right renovation should enhance your kitchen’s functionality, maximize storage, and create a space that you truly enjoy.

A Word from Our Clients

  • Thank you in helping our dream come true. This is our first kitchen reno, John and Graham have made this transition seamless. If you need a reference please do not hesitate!

    Tom and Lynn, Niagara Falls

  • You will be amazed at the dedication to detail and the workmanship that this company takes. They take pride in their workmanship, and it definitely shows, very rare in the industry these days. We had our kitchen renovated this year and we are beyond pleased, the transformation was unreal and the workmanship was excellent! Oh and also, I would add that working with Joe and Debbie was so enjoyable. It was like like dealing with close friends.

    Christine, Fort Erie

  • I have known the principal owner of Canaan Cabinetry, Joe Sloan, for almost 40 years. He is a family man and a decent, caring and honest person. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, I had a home-building business in Niagara Falls. Canaan Cabinetry was our cabinet supplier. Their quality and service was impeccable. At no time would I have even considered using any other supplier. Recently my law firm was completing a substantial office rennovation. Our general contractor wished to use his own cabinet supplier, whos price was slightly lower. I insisted that he use Canaan Cabinetry. I am very happy that I did. The results speak for themselves and we get complimented on them every day.

    If you value honesty, quality, and service more than price, you should use Canaan Cabinetry.

    Brandon Boone, Daniel & Partners LLP

  • Joe, we cannot put into words how happy we are with the new kitchen. It is almost like having a whole new house! Thank you and your great work crew for all of the time and effort that was given to this project! I still cannot believe that 3 men worked in such a small area and were so professional, polite and courteous to each other. It was not like having strangers in the house, they were like good friends. We are more than happy with everything. Thanks again.

    Jim and Delores, Niagara Falls

  • A big thank you for the lovely flowers…a bigger thank you for my beautiful cabinets. I just can’t believe that they’re really mine. I am so pleased with the colour, style, my magic corner and spice rack and all the extras you did. My bathroom cabinets are also so beautiful as well. It seems like a new bathroom. I will gladly recommend your company to anyone that is in the market for new cupboards. A few of my neighbours have come to visit and just gasp when they see the cupboards, as to the difference they make. Both of you are wonderful people and it has been a real pleasure doing business with a very honest company. Wishing you all the best for many years to come.

    Barbara, Niagara Falls

    Doug and Wendy, Niagara Falls

  • We had Canaan Cabinets install our kitchen, bathroom and laundry room cabinets when we had our new home built. We were very happy from the design stage to the installation and have been enjoying for the past 7 years. The owner, Joe, was very patient with us through all of these stages. It is not an easy task picking out something that you know you will have to be happy with for many years to come; he gave us many options until we were satisfied with out choices. The installers were very efficient! We are very happy with out choice, Canaan Cabinets, and would highly recommend this company!

    Nora, Ridgeway

  • We are thrilled with our new kitchen from Canaan Cabinetry! Joe and Debbie are such genuinely thoughtful and kind people who provide a high quality product and were a pleasure to do business with.

    Lindsay, Niagara Falls

  • We had an excellent experience working with Canaan Cabinetry while designing and building our new home. Debbie and Joe met with us numerous times to listen to our ideas and visions, then designed our kitchen, laundry room, mudroom, 3 bathrooms and family room built ins and exceeded our expectations! They were so attentive and open to wishes, yet had their own suggestions that we never would have thought of but loved in the end! All of their work was completed promptly, was very reasonably priced and the end product was beautiful. We get so many compliments on our kitchen (and all of the work Canaan did for us!) and we always recommend Canaan Cabinetry to all of our friends who are building or renovating! We think of Joe and Debbie as our friends and we cant say enough about them and their business!

    Alyssa, Niagara Falls

  • We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful kitchen that you designed and installed at our home. There is not an individual that arrives at our home that is not overwhelmed after they see it, it is simply stunning. Your caring professionalism and patience through the many changes and consultations was simply amazing. You are wonderful people and professionals. Thank you so much. P.S. Referrals galore!

    Greg, Niagara Falls

  • We had our kitchen done from Canaan Cabinetry and the work was excellent. The owners were most helpful in all our needs. When it came time for the installation, the crew was amazing and did a great job. Couldn't be more pleased with this company. Highly recommended!!!
