A deep heritage of craftsmanship


For three generations we’ve been making dream homes come true through high-quality custom cabinetry and conscientious service.

Faithfully serving others with integrity, respect, and high-quality cabinetry.

Since day one, we have aspired to inspire, dedicated to helping homeowners transform their spaces into havens. Our journey began with a humble but visionary founder committed to using his skills to make a positive impact in his community. His simple mission has shaped our processes, our product, and our culture at Columbia Cabinets over the years. Today, though our customers are far and wide, we’re still that family-owned and operated cabinet company with an unwavering commitment to people, through faithful service, mindful craftsmanship, and a limited lifetime warranty.

Blending the latest advancements in technology and sustainability with attentive craftsmanship honed through decades of experience, our skilled team creates custom cabinetry without compromise. We appreciate the significant investment you’re making in your home with our cabinets, which is why every Columbia product is thoughtfully crafted for you with care not only for maximum functionality and durability, but timeless beauty that is second-to-none.

Our legacy is built
on service

1970s

After immigrating to Canada with his family, Peter Loewen started Columbia Cabinets out of his garage on Columbia St. in Abbotsford, BC, Canada with the simple mission of using his skills to create good in his community. Word about Peter’s fervor for quality and top level service quickly spread. As demand for his cabinets grew, the company expanded into larger warehouses in 1973, 1975 and 1978, allowing Columbia Cabinets to meet the increasing needs of customers, and create valuable job opportunities in the community. 

1980s

Peter thought the newest shop – 25,000 sq. ft. – would serve us for a long time, but the demand for Columbia’s quality craftsmanship continued to grow, and along with it, so did the team and warehouse space. Operations moved to our current facility on Townline Road, which was expanded several times over the next decade. Always responsive to the requests of our customers, we enhanced our product offering by adding a counter department to complement the custom home cabinets being created.

1990s

Providing custom cabinetry that resonates with the stories and style of our customers means leading the industry with new trends. In the early 1990s, Columbia Cabinets released a new style of cabinets — European-style frameless cabinetry.

2000s

Columbia Cabinets embraced a new chapter by evolving from a retail cabinet company to the dealer model present today. This strategic shift allowed us to meet growing demand more effectively and expand our reach, connecting with new clients while continuing to uphold our high standards of quality.

2010s

With rising demand for custom cabinetry, we chose to focus on our expertise in skilled cabinetmaking. By selling our countertop division, we deepened our commitment to innovation and concentrated on creating increasingly personalized storage solutions, helping homeowners tailor their spaces to their needs.
