What affects the cost
Every home and project is different, so we price each job after seeing it. These are the main things that shape your estimate:
- Size of the kitchen and whether the layout changes
- Cabinet quality: stock, semi-custom or fully custom
- Countertop material and edge details
- Moving or adding plumbing, gas lines or electrical circuits
- Removing or opening up walls, including structural beams
- Flooring, lighting and appliance choices
Frequently asked questions
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
It depends on the scope. A cabinet and countertop update is much quicker than a full remodel with layout changes. Custom cabinets and countertops often have lead times of several weeks, so we order early and give you a schedule with your estimate.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Ottawa?
Cosmetic updates usually do not. Moving or removing walls, changing plumbing or gas lines, or adding circuits can require permits and inspections. We confirm what applies to your project with the City of Ottawa and the Electrical Safety Authority.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Most homeowners do. We protect the rest of the house and can help you plan a temporary kitchen setup for the weeks without a working kitchen.
Will you help me choose materials?
Yes. We guide you on cabinets, counters, backsplash and flooring so the choices fit your budget and the way you use the room.
