ARMOIRES J C CORDEAU

What ARMOIRES J C CORDEAU does

Armoires Cordeau is a Quebec-based custom cabinet manufacturer founded in 1983 by Jean-Claude Cordeau in Saint-Hyacinthe and still operating as a family-led private business. The company designs, fabricates, and installs high-end custom cabinetry for kitchens, bathrooms, walk-in closets, laundry rooms, and built-in residential furniture out of a 22,000 sq ft factory/showroom facility at 7675 Rang de la Pointe du Jour, Saint-Hyacinthe. The core technology stack combines CNC equipment, laser-based countertop templating under the proprietary FIT-PARFAIT program, 3D design rendering, and in-house fabrication of most components, with installation handled by company-trained crews. The business is qualified by the AFDICQ Signé Québec identifier and has been featured editorially in Canapé, House & Home, Idées Déco, Trois fois par jour, and Je Décore.

Customers are split between individual residential homeowners undertaking new builds or renovations, and a professional channel consisting of entrepreneurs, interior designers, and architects who refer projects. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer through appointment-only showroom visits guided by six in-house cuisinistes, supplemented by trade-show participation (Salon Expo Habitat, St-Hyacinthe) and a steady editorial/media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and the company blog. The professional channel uses dedicated account managers, technical plans for subcontractors, and coordinated scheduling as a structured B2B layer atop the same fabrication footprint.

Revenue is project-based (one-off contracts) with quotes not publicly disclosed; qualifying project budgets fall in bands from roughly $20K up to $200K+. The payment cadence is 30% at signing, 60% at delivery, and 10% at completion, with a $250 late rescheduling fee. Leadership combines founder Jean-Claude Cordeau as president with daughters Kim (Director of Sales and Development) and Véronique (Planning Manager), plus long-time associate Serge Cyr as Installation Chief, supported by a workforce of approximately 40 employees, the majority with 10+ years tenure. A 5-year warranty covers products, installation, and subcontractor work for professional clients.
