Kitchen Renovation in Ontario

Kitchens are where renovation budgets live or die, because everything meets there: cabinetry, counters, tile, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, flooring. A good kitchen renovation is mostly good sequencing — cabinets measured and ordered early because they set the schedule, counters templated only after cabinets are set, tile after counters, appliances last.

The scope can be almost anything. A full gut with a new layout, an island where the peninsula was, and pot lights overhead. Or the sensible middle: keep the layout, replace cabinets and counters, add a backsplash. Or the budget version that fools everyone: paint the cabinets, new hardware, new counter, new faucet. All three are real kitchen renovations and we quote all three without pushing you up the ladder.

Where the layout changes, the rules come with it: moving the sink or gas line brings licensed plumbing and TSSA-certified gas work, new circuits go through a Licensed Electrical Contractor, and wall changes may need a permit. Like-for-like swaps mostly don't. We'll tell you which side of that line your plan sits on before you commit.

What this covers

  • Full kitchen renovations, gut-and-rebuild or keep-the-layout
  • Cabinet supply and installation, or refacing and painting what you have
  • Countertop templating and installation — quartz, granite, laminate, butcher block
  • Backsplash tiling
  • Sink, faucet and appliance installation, including gas hookups by certified techs
  • Lighting upgrades — pot lights, under-cabinet, island pendants
  • Flooring to match or contrast the new kitchen
  • Demolition, debris removal and daily cleanup
  • Permits where layout or services change

What affects the price

  • Whether the layout stays or moves — relocating the sink, stove or walls is the big cost line
  • Cabinet route: paint, reface, stock, semi-custom or custom
  • Counter material and how many corners and cutouts the top needs
  • Appliance changes, especially anything involving gas or new circuits
  • The state of what's behind the old kitchen — level floors and plumb walls are never guaranteed in older houses
  • Backsplash and flooring choices
  • How long you can live without a working kitchen — phasing costs schedule but keeps you cooking

Common questions

How long is a kitchen out of commission during a renovation?
For a keep-the-layout renovation, plan on two to four weeks without a working kitchen; a full gut with layout changes runs longer. We set up what we can to keep you functional — fridge and microwave in the dining room is the time-honoured Ontario solution — and the schedule in your quote shows the no-kitchen window honestly.
Should I reface my cabinets or replace them?
If the boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing or repainting gives you most of the visual change for a fraction of the cost and mess. Replace when the boxes are failing, the layout fights you daily, or you want interiors — drawers, pullouts — that the old boxes can't offer. We'll give you a straight answer after seeing them.
Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen?
Swapping cabinets, counters and finishes in place: no. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, altering walls or relocating the gas line: parts of that trigger permits and licensed trades. It's normal for one kitchen project to include both kinds of work — the quote separates them so nothing gets skipped.
Can you work around appliances I've already bought?
Bought or planned appliances actually help — cabinet runs and counters get built to their exact specs instead of a guess. Tell us models when you request the quote, especially for ranges, hood fans and built-in ovens where sizes vary the most.
What's the smallest kitchen job you'll take?
There isn't a minimum. New faucet, one damaged cabinet door, a backsplash, hooking up a dishwasher — kitchens generate small jobs constantly and they're welcome here. That's rather the point of the platform.
