Building Our Community One Project at a Time
65 Years of Craftsmanship, Community, and Care
For over six decades, Dowdal Cabinets has proudly served the people of North Bay. Founded in 1958 by Murray Dowdall, our company began as a small cabinet shop on Birch’s Road. It wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t big. But it was honest. And it set the tone for everything that followed.
A Family Story, Passed Down with Care
In 1980, local businessman Len Landry purchased the company, bringing it into the Landry family. Not long after, his son David Landry joined the team, followed by Robert Latulippe, Dave’s brother-in-law. Together, Dave and Bob now famously known as “The Kitchen Brothers” became the face of Dowdal Cabinets.
They didn’t just take over a business they carried forward a legacy of trust, quality, and relationships built one kitchen at a time.
A Team That Enjoys the Work
At Dowdal, we’ve created a culture that’s welcoming, lighthearted, and genuinely fun to be part of. We laugh. We share stories, and we take pride in what we do because when people enjoy coming to work, it shows in the results.
Setbacks, Support, and Staying Strong
We’ve had our share of challenges. A fire at the shop was one of the hardest but during that time something incredible happened, our clients reached out with heartfelt messages of support, encouragement, and appreciation.
Just wanted you to know we were thinking of you as you “dig out” after the fire. Your enthusiasm and good nature won’t let it keep you down long.

It reminded us that Dowdal isn’t just a company, it’s part of this community and that’s something we’ll never take for granted.
We were very sorry to hear of your loss. Our heartfelt compassion goes out to you and your family, staff and customers. I know it will be a stretch of your inner personal resources, but from what I have experienced in our brief interaction, you are up to it. Hang in there! Best Regards,
Anna and Frank Rossi
Built on Trust
We’re proud to say that many of our clients have been with us for years. Some come back for their second or third project. That kind of ongoing trust is the real measure of success for us.
After more than 65 years, we’re still here, a local family-run business focused on building spaces that reflect the care, craftsmanship, and community spirit we’ve always believed in.
