Productions

Production begins as your project is divided into components and passed along to the relevant department. During production, we provide weekly updates and pictures as your cabinets are being built.

Step 6

Delivery & Install

The last step is delivery and installation. An additional 45% of the cost is due at delivery. The final 5% is due only after our follow-up, when we are assured that you are 100% satisfied with your Coppes Napanee cabinets.
