Pricing
How much do your kitchen cabinets cost?
As of October 2026, thermofoil kitchens are $350 per linear foot installed and painted kitchens are $500 per linear foot installed. Both include a quartz countertop, handles and a sink. Homeowner projects are quoted after a free measurement, so treat these rates as a starting point.
What is not included in the per foot price?
Electrical, plumbing, demolition and construction are not included. Your own trades or contractor handle those. Birch plywood cabinet boxes are an upgrade at $50 per linear foot. The published rates cover the cabinets, installation, quartz countertop, handles and sink.
Is the measurement and quote free?
Yes, for homeowners. We measure your space, then sketch the layout and price it at our published rates. You see the numbers before you commit to anything. If you only want a ballpark first, send your room size on WhatsApp and we will point you in the right direction.
Timeline
How long does a custom kitchen take?
Typically 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the project. Cabinets are cut and assembled to order in our own shop, so the schedule depends on the size and scope of your job. We give you a timeline when we quote.
When does the 4 to 8 weeks start?
The clock starts when your order is confirmed, not when we first measure. Before that, you have time to review the layout, choose your finish and adjust the plan. Once you confirm, your cabinets go into production in our Scarborough shop.
What can slow a project down?
Larger kitchens take longer to build than small ones. The other common delay is site readiness. Your trades need to finish their work, such as electrical and plumbing, so that we can install. Tell us your renovation schedule early and we will plan around it.
Manufacturing and materials
Is Tevola a manufacturer or a retailer?
Tevola is a local kitchen cabinet and vanity manufacturer, not a retailer or importer. We cut and assemble your cabinets to order in our own shop at 50 Thornmount Dr in Scarborough, then our own team installs them. You deal with the people who build your cabinets.
Are the cabinets on your website ready to ship?
No. Our shop is a catalogue of the cabinet sizes we build. You add sizes to your ticket and send it to us on WhatsApp or through the quote form. There is no online checkout. Every cabinet is made to order for your project.
What finishes can I choose?
Thermofoil and painted finishes, each available in many colours. Thermofoil is $350 per linear foot installed and painted is $500, as of October 2026. Visit a showroom to see doors and finishes in person, and ask us which one suits your kitchen.
Can you build to my exact measurements?
Yes. Because we build to order, your cabinets are sized to your space, including condos, older homes and walls that are not square. We measure on site first. Birch plywood cabinet boxes are available as an upgrade at $50 per linear foot.
Installation and your trades
Who installs the cabinets?
Tevola’s own team installs them. We do not hand your job to a third party. The same company that builds your cabinets brings them to your home and puts them in, so one team is accountable from measurement to the last handle.
Do you do electrical, plumbing or demolition?
No. Our quote covers the cabinets, installation, quartz countertop, handles and sink. Electrical, plumbing, demolition and construction are not included, and your own trades handle them. We will tell you what needs to be ready before install day.
Can I use my own contractor?
Yes. Many projects have a contractor or other trades on site. We work alongside them and coordinate the install window so the work happens in the right order. Share your contractor’s contact when you send your ticket and we can talk to them directly.
Does the price include the countertop and sink?
Yes. As of October 2026, our published per foot rates for thermofoil and painted kitchens include a quartz countertop, handles and a sink, all installed. Birch plywood boxes are an optional upgrade, and trade work such as plumbing hookups stays with your own trades.
Showrooms and visits
Where is your showroom and when is it open?
Our factory showroom and shop is at 50 Thornmount Dr, Unit 24, Scarborough, ON M1B 5P3. It is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Saturday is by appointment and Sunday is closed. Call or message (416) 814-6035 before you come.
Where can I see a display kitchen?
We have a display kitchen inside CTS Building Supplies, 733 Progress Ave, Scarborough, ON M1H 1H2. It is open during CTS store hours: Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 3pm. CTS is a separate business from Tevola.
Do I need an appointment to visit?
Not for weekday visits to our Scarborough shop, but a quick message helps us have the right person ready. Saturday visits need an appointment. The CTS display kitchen follows CTS store hours, so you can walk in during those times.
Do I have to visit before I get a quote?
No. Homeowners can book a free measurement and we come to you. You can also send photos, sizes or a drawing on WhatsApp first. Visiting a showroom is a good way to compare finishes, but it is your choice.
Contractors and commercial
How do contractors get a quote?
Message us on WhatsApp at (416) 814-6035 and send your drawings or measurements. Contractors get a same-day quote. If you build or renovate for clients, we can work to your schedule and coordinate the install window with your site.
What should I send for a commercial quote?
Send drawings or measurements, your finish schedule, quantities, the site address, your timeline, and the access hours for the site. A contact person on site helps too. The more complete the package, the faster and tighter the quote.
What commercial work do you build?
Commercial cabinetry and millwork: counters, display shelving, office kitchens, store fronts and built-in storage. Everything is built in our Scarborough shop. Tell us about your space and timeline, and we will confirm what we can deliver.
Service area
Where do you install?
Across Toronto, including downtown, East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and York, and across the GTA in Markham, Mississauga, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Pickering and Ajax. Not sure if you are in range? Send your postal code on WhatsApp.
Do you have pages for specific cities?
Yes. We have local pages for North York, Markham, Mississauga and Vaughan, covering the housing and kitchen types common to each. The service is the same everywhere: free measurement, cabinets built in Scarborough, and installation by our own team.
Do I need to come to Scarborough?
No. We come to you for the free measurement and the installation. A showroom visit is optional. If you want to see finishes or a built kitchen first, you can visit our shop or the display kitchen at CTS Building Supplies.
What customers say
From the initial design stage through to installation, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The kitchen was completed on time and to a very high standard.
They gave me a one-week timeline and delivered exactly on schedule, which I really appreciate.
The quality of the cabinets exceeded my expectations. They were well-crafted, sturdy, and beautifully designed.
Excellent work. Great customer service and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
