BluePrint Cabinets vs Extreme Kitchens in Moncton
By Lewis Vandervalk, BluePrint Cabinets
If you’re comparing BluePrint Cabinets and Extreme Kitchens in Moncton, the first thing to understand is that these are different cabinet-buying models.
Extreme Kitchens is a Moncton manufacturer of custom kitchen cabinetry. Its process includes design, 3D visualisation, final site measurements, custom production, delivery and installation.
BluePrint Cabinets supplies ready-to-assemble cabinetry with free 3D kitchen design, plywood cabinet construction and a supply-only model.
In short: Extreme Kitchens offers custom manufacturing and installation, while BluePrint Cabinets offers a standardised RTA cabinet system with a different approach to pricing, turnaround and installation.

Custom Manufacturing vs RTA
Extreme Kitchens describes itself as a manufacturer of custom kitchen cabinets in Moncton and says it has been in business for more than 25 years.
BluePrint Cabinets doesn’t manufacture cabinets to arbitrary custom dimensions.
Our cabinets come in defined sizes, generally in 3-inch increments.
If your room genuinely requires bespoke cabinet dimensions, custom manufacturing offers flexibility our system may not.
If the room can be designed effectively around the BluePrint Cabinets range, RTA provides another route worth comparing.
Compare the Construction
BluePrint Cabinets’ standard cabinet construction includes:
- 5/8-inch plywood boxes and backs
- 3/4-inch solid birch face frames
- Solid-wood dovetail drawers
- Full-extension soft-close drawer slides
- Soft-close hinges
- Lifetime hardware warranty
You can inspect the construction at our Moncton location.
When considering any custom kitchen, ask the manufacturer to explain the materials and construction specified for your particular quote.
Both Companies Offer 3D Kitchen Design
Extreme Kitchens’ published process includes a detailed floor plan and 3D visual. Its current site says that service is free with up to one revision.
BluePrint Cabinets also provides a free kitchen layout and 3D rendering before ordering.
Get both designs if you’re seriously comparing the companies.
Look at how each uses the room.
A better layout can matter more to your everyday kitchen than a small difference in the cabinet price.
Compare the Timelines Carefully
Extreme Kitchens currently publishes a production timeline of approximately 6–8 weeks after final site measurements.
BluePrint Cabinets’ model works differently because the cabinets aren’t being individually custom manufactured.
When timing matters, ask both companies for the expected timing for your actual project before ordering rather than assuming a general published timeline will apply.
Installation Changes the Price Comparison
Extreme Kitchens schedules delivery and installation as part of its process.
BluePrint Cabinets doesn’t directly install.
You can assemble and install the cabinets yourself, use your contractor, or hire an independent installer.
That means you shouldn’t automatically compare the final number on an installed custom-kitchen proposal with a BluePrint Cabinets cabinet-supply price.
Calculate the complete project both ways.
