ABOUT US

Handcrafted Kitchens and Custom Woodworking including Kitchens, Bathrooms, Fireplaces & Specialty Orders.

In 1988, Burchell Fine Woodworking began creating handmade custom kitchens and furniture for homes in the local area. Steve O’Brien joined the team in 1993 and from that emerged Burchell-O’Brien Custom Kitchens in 1998. Since that time, he has proudly carried on the family tradition.

Our philosophy is that the kitchen is “where it all happens”, so your family can expect comfort and style in our finished product, in addition to the practicality and function you require. The business has expanded by offering clients a complete customized experience. From conception of design to the finishing details, your new interior space is one that you will be proud to show.

Over the last 20 years, we have evolved into a frameless system. Realizing our customer’s appreciation for the furniture style look of face framed cabinets, we have integrated this into our frameless system. By framing you’re built in appliances and open shelf units we exceed our customer’s expectations. The outcome is a unique product that stands alone from our competitors.

PROCESS

DESIGN

You will have the opportunity to be part of the design process, ensuring custom needs are met every step of the way. We will accommodate a full variety of colour, hardware, countertop, door and design requirements to suit your style.

A personalized proposal with your plans is then produced to enable you to visualize your project. Using the personalized drawings, our cabinetmakers begin the process of hand building the kitchen of your dreams!

CONSTRUCTIONWe love our new custom kitchen!  From concept to the last detail, working with Burchell-O'Brien Custom Cabinets has been a pleasure.  We needed and really appreciated the flexibility of working with Steve because our renovation was extensive, we made our small kitchen and dining room into a large kitchen, so a lot of planning was required.   Burchell-O'Brien also made it so easy to find and personally select our granite counter-tops  and then co-ordinate their installation. Steve and his crew were patient, professional and courteous.  We would highly recommend Burchell-O'Brien!
