01  The work

Thirty years,
one shop.

Every photo here is a Thorncrest job. No stock photos, no showroom sets. Kitchens, baths, wardrobes, fireplaces and the odd piece of furniture, built in East Garafraxa and installed across southern Ontario.

02  How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

The part most people worry about is not the woodwork. It is whether anyone will turn up, and whether the number at the end is the number they were told. Here is exactly how it goes.

Step 01

We come and look

One visit, tape measure out, no charge. We listen more than we talk.

Step 02

You get a drawing

Every wall drawn to the inch, with the price broken out line by line before you commit to anything.

We build it here

In the shop in East Garafraxa. The same two people from the first cut to the final sand.

Step 04

We install and finish

We turn up on the day we said, and we do not leave you living around a half-finished kitchen.

03  Why people call us

The three things people ask before they trust anyone with a kitchen.

You will not be chasing us

Matt answers his own phone. 905-728-7121. Same number for thirty years.

Ask what is behind the door

We will tell you exactly what your boxes, doors and drawers are made of, in writing, before you sign anything.

A small shop, on purpose

You deal with the two people building your kitchen, not a salesman and a subcontractor who have never met.

04  About
A cherry built-in wall with bookshelves either side of a fireplace
Matthew Miller and Troy Gibeau have been making cabinets since 1994.

Two partners, one shop near Orangeville, and thirty years of kitchens, baths, fireplaces and furniture across southern Ontario. We consult in your home, because your home is where the kitchen has to work. A showroom is coming.

Every job comes through the same two sets of hands. That is the whole business model, and it is why the drawing you approve is the kitchen that arrives.

05  Questions

Straight answers.

How long does it take?
You get a real date when you approve the drawing. If anything moves, you hear it from us the same day, not after you have called twice.
Do you do more than kitchens?
Baths, vanities, wardrobes, fireplaces, wall units, window seats and one-off furniture. If it is built from wood and has to fit a space, it is our work.
How far do you travel?
We are near Orangeville and we work across southern Ontario.
Do you have a showroom?
Not yet. We come to you, which is where the measurements are anyway. A showroom is planned.
Can I see a finished kitchen first?
Ask. We will put you in touch with people whose kitchens we built, and they will tell you the truth about us.
