Affected units
Identify which cabinet boxes, doors, drawers or trim were damaged or removed. The condition of the complete unit matters when discussing repair and replacement options.

RECONSTRUCTION AFTER THE LOSS
Replacement cabinetry needs to fit the whole space.
Cabinet replacement after damage involves the affected cabinet units and their connections to walls, floors, counters and fixtures. Metrospec Construction coordinates cabinet replacement in Greater Montréal as part of post-loss interior reconstruction after the necessary cleanup, drying and remediation. The scope may concern kitchen cabinetry, a bathroom vanity or other built-in storage. We discuss the condition of retained units, dimensions, finishes and practical replacement boundaries before ordering. New cabinetry also needs to be coordinated with the preparation of surrounding surfaces. For an insured loss, the proposed replacement and any changes to layout or materials should be clarified separately from optional upgrades before the work is authorized.
DEFINE THE WORK
More than doors and drawer fronts.
Dimensions & layout
Review the available space, openings and retained components. Replacement units need to work with doors, appliances, fixtures and the way the room is used.
Counters & surrounding surfaces
Coordinate cabinet work with countertops, wall repairs, flooring and backsplash areas. Keeping an existing component may affect the replacement sequence or dimensions.
Finishes & fittings
Discuss door profiles, colour, hardware and interior storage within the agreed scope. Samples and product information help make the intended appearance clear.
BEFORE ORDERING OR STARTING WORK
Settle the interfaces before placing the order.
A partial replacement or a full run?
Replacing selected units raises questions about dimensions, finish continuity and adjacent components. Confirm the practical boundaries of the work first.
What is available to match?
Older products or finishes may no longer be available. Review comparable options and the effect on retained cabinetry rather than assuming an exact match.
Which storage changes are optional?
New drawer arrangements, added units or layout changes can be discussed. Clarify their cost and scope separately from the loss-related replacement.
BEFORE WE SPEAK
A useful starting point.
- Photos of the affected cabinets, interiors and adjoining components.
- Any manufacturer, finish or product information available.
- The counters, appliances or fixtures you want to retain.
- Preferred storage features and any proposed layout changes.
You can call even if some details are still being worked out. For an insured loss, keep your insurer or adjuster’s contact information handy as well.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before the rebuild begins.
Can only the damaged cabinets be replaced?
Possibly, depending on the affected units, dimensions, availability and how the cabinetry is connected. Partial replacement should be considered with adjoining units and retained counters.
Can new doors be fitted to the existing boxes?
That depends on the condition and dimensions of the boxes and the compatibility of the proposed doors and hardware. Discuss the full unit rather than assuming a door-only solution.
Will new cabinets match the existing ones?
An exact match depends on product availability, colour and changes from wear or age. Review samples and comparable options before approving a partial replacement.
Does cabinet replacement include the countertop?
The scope must say whether the counter is retained, removed and reinstalled, or replaced. Its condition and compatibility with the proposed cabinetry need to be considered.
Will insurance pay for all of this work?
Coverage depends on your policy and the assessment of the claim. Clarify the approved scope, any limits and payment arrangements with your insurer or adjuster; discuss optional improvements separately.
