Kitchen Renovation FAQs
Common questions about kitchen renovations in Vancouver.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Vancouver?
Costs range from $15,000 to $100,000+. Most people spend $30,000-$60,000 for counters, cabinets, backsplash, and floors. We give clear, itemized quotes.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most take 4-8 weeks. Quick updates: 2-3 weeks. Full remodels: 8-12 weeks. We share a timeline at your first meeting.
Can I use my kitchen during the renovation?
Partly. Set up a spot with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. We keep you updated daily and work fast.
Do I need permits for a kitchen renovation?
Yes, for plumbing, electrical, or wall changes. We handle all permits for you.
Should I buy my own appliances?
Either way works! We can source them at contractor pricing, or we can install ones you buy. Let us know before we finalize your quote.
Custom cabinets vs stock: Which should I choose?
Stock and semi-custom cabinets offer great value. Custom cabinets cost 2-3x more but work best for unique spaces.
What kitchen upgrades add the most value?
New cabinets, quartz counters, and updated appliances give strong returns. Open concept layouts also add value.
Can you make my kitchen open concept?
Usually yes! We check if walls are load-bearing and plan beams or columns as needed. This is one of our top requests.
What countertop do you recommend?
Quartz is our top pick. It's tough, easy to clean, and comes in many styles. Granite is great for a natural look.
Do you handle all the trades?
Yes. We manage electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. You have one contact the whole time. No juggling contractors.
Looking to update your bathroom too? Many homeowners renovate both spaces together for better pricing and coordinated design.
