BluePrint Cabinets vs Turtle Creek Cabinets Near Moncton
By Lewis Vandervalk, BluePrint Cabinets
If you’re comparing BluePrint Cabinets and Turtle Creek Cabinets for a kitchen in Greater Moncton, this is largely a comparison between custom-built cabinetry and a standardised RTA cabinet system.
Turtle Creek Cabinets is based in Upper Coverdale and designs, manufactures, delivers and installs custom cabinetry.
BluePrint Cabinets supplies ready-to-assemble cabinetry through our Moncton location, with free 3D kitchen design and a supply-only model.
In short: Turtle Creek Cabinets offers locally built custom cabinetry with installation, while BluePrint Cabinets offers standardised RTA cabinetry with plywood construction and a different labour and pricing model.

Custom Sizing vs Standardised Cabinet Sizes
Turtle Creek Cabinets says it uses 3D design and manufacturing technology to build custom cabinetry to virtually any size and style.
BluePrint Cabinets doesn’t make that claim.
Our cabinets come in defined sizes, generally in 3-inch increments.
There are projects where custom sizing can solve something our standardised system can’t.
The question is whether your kitchen actually requires it.
If it does, custom cabinetry deserves serious consideration.
If it doesn’t, compare what both approaches give you for the total project cost.
Compare Construction, Not Just Labels
Turtle Creek Cabinets advertises dovetail drawers, hardwood materials, CNC manufacturing and a climate-controlled finishing process.
BluePrint Cabinets uses:
- 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
Rather than reducing the decision to “custom vs RTA,” look at the actual cabinetry.
Open the drawers.
Inspect the box.
Look at the hardware and finish.
Then compare what you’re getting.
Both Offer 3D Kitchen Design
Turtle Creek Cabinets uses 3D design software to develop custom kitchen layouts before manufacturing.
BluePrint Cabinets also provides free 3D kitchen design before you order.
Bring us measurements, sketches, builder plans or photos and we’ll show you how the kitchen works within the BluePrint Cabinets cabinet system.
If you’re getting designs from both companies, compare those designs alongside the quotes.
Installation Is Different
Turtle Creek Cabinets manufactures, delivers and installs its cabinetry.
BluePrint Cabinets doesn’t directly install.
Our customers can assemble and install themselves, use their general contractor, or hire an independent installer.
That makes the two project scopes materially different.
If you’re comparing pricing, account for assembly and installation on the BluePrint Cabinets side before drawing conclusions.
Compare Them for Yourself
Turtle Creek Cabinets operates from 19 Laity Drive in Upper Coverdale, between Riverview and Salisbury, and asks showroom visitors to call ahead in case the team is out on an installation.
