South Shore Cabinetry Ltd — Custom Cabinetry and Kitchen Design in Lake Cowichan, BC
South Shore Cabinetry has been building and finishing custom cabinetry for more than 30 years, with a showroom in Lake Cowichan and a second location in Victoria. The company is family-owned and has won multiple C.A.R.E. Awards for cabinetry design, construction, and installation excellence — an industry recognition that reflects something specific: the quality of the design thinking and the finished installation, not just the sales volume.
The cabinetry itself is built with domestic, LEED certified, formaldehyde-free birch plywood. Drawer slides and door hinges are integrated soft-close as standard. Finishes are sprayed in-house using ultra-low VOC water-based products — relevant both for indoor air quality and for the durability of the finished surface over years of daily use. These aren’t options the customer has to upgrade to; they’re the baseline for how the company builds.
Custom kitchens and bathrooms are the core of the work. The Lake Cowichan and Cowichan Valley market includes a mix of newer residential builds in the surrounding rural areas and older homes closer to town that often need a full kitchen or bathroom redesign rather than a face-lift. South Shore handles both ends: the design phase, the cabinet manufacturing, and the installation.
