    Start with what you actually need

    Most people looking for a cabinet maker in Cairns are in one of three situations. They are different jobs, and working out which one you are in makes the quote more useful.

    You are renovating a kitchen

    New cabinets, a new layout, a new benchtop, or all three. Kitchens are the biggest cabinet job in most homes, and the quote depends on the layout, the materials and what has to be removed first. Kitchen renovations in Cairns

    You want storage built to fit a room

    Built-in wardrobes, a laundry, shelving or an entertainment unit. These are made to the size of the space, so the cabinet maker will want to measure before quoting.

    You are not sure what you need yet

    Describe the room and what is not working. A cabinet maker can say whether it is a kitchen job, a joinery job, or something smaller, and the form below takes as much or as little detail as you have.

    What we can get quoted

    Kitchens. New cabinets, a full renovation, or replacing doors and benchtops. More on kitchen renovations in Cairns.

    Wardrobes and built-in storage. Built-in robes, walk-in layouts and bedroom storage, made to fit the room.

    Laundries and other joinery. Laundry cabinets, shelving, entertainment units and other custom pieces.

    Small jobs. A replacement door, a drawer that no longer runs, a shelf that needs adding. Small jobs are harder to get quoted than large ones, so it helps to be specific about what you need.

    What a good quote covers

    Quotes for the same job can differ because they cover different things. Whoever you hear from, it is worth asking:

    • What is included: the cabinets, the benchtop, removal of the old kitchen, installation
    • What the cabinets are made of, and whether the edges are sealed
    • Who supplies and fits anything that is not the cabinets, such as the benchtop or appliances
    • What happens if the job changes once work has started
    • Their QBCC licence number, and whether the job needs a written contract

    The detail on contracts, deposits and licensing is on the kitchen renovations page.

    Where we cover

    Cairns and the surrounding area, including Smithfield, Atherton and Innisfail. If you are somewhere else in Far North Queensland, tell us where, and we will say straight away whether we can find someone.

    What to include when you enquire

    The more specific you are, the more useful the quote. Worth including:

    • The room, and roughly how big it is
    • Whether it is new work, a replacement or a repair
    • Whether you have a layout or drawings, or just an idea
    • What you want it made of, if you have a view
    • Anything unusual about access, timing or the state of the room

    You will not know all of it, and that is fine. A cabinet maker will want to see the room before pricing it properly.

    Common questions

    Is a custom kitchen different from a flat-pack kitchen?

    Flat-pack cabinets come in standard sizes and are assembled and fitted from parts. Custom cabinets are made to the size of your room. Which suits you depends on the room, the layout and the budget, and a cabinet maker can tell you where each makes sense. More on kitchen renovations in Cairns.

    Does the cabinet maker need a licence?

    In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 needs a QBCC licence. Ask for the licence number before you agree to anything, and check it with the QBCC. The details are on the kitchen renovations page.

    Do you publish prices?

    No. What a job costs depends on the size of the room, the layout, the materials and the benchtop, so a figure here would not be your figure. The cabinet maker prices it after seeing the room.

    What happens when I send an enquiry?

    Your details go to a local cabinet maker who can quote the job, and they contact you directly. The cabinet maker pays for the enquiry and you do not. The About page has the full account.
