Complete kitchen renovations, priced up front, built in our own factory
For GTA homeowners who want one team to take the kitchen back to the walls and rebuild it — layout, cabinetry from our own Woodbridge factory, countertops, electrical, plumbing and flooring — installed by our own crews.
What does a complete kitchen renovation cost in the GTA?
Most complete kitchen renovations in the Greater Toronto Area land between $20,000 and $90,000, and a mid-range kitchen of about 35 linear feet of cabinetry usually comes in around the mid-$50,000s. Three things move that number more than anything else: the size of the kitchen, whether the layout changes, and the door finish you choose.

Cabinets take two to four weeks to build, depending on scope and materials. On site, demolition through cabinets, plumbing, electrical and countertops runs one to two weeks — three to four if there is more to the renovation than the kitchen.
Planning a full kitchen? You’re in the right place.

No fee and no obligation at any point before you have a written quote.
01
Check the project fit
A few quick questions about scope, timing and where you are. It tells you straight away whether we are the right company — before anyone asks for your details.
02
A call to confirm scope
We go through what you are planning and answer whatever you want to ask, so a visit is only ever booked once it is worth both our time.
03
A free in-home measure
Paul measures properly and looks at what the existing kitchen is hiding — the layout, the plumbing runs, the state of the walls and floor.
04
Design and material selections
Layout, cabinetry, countertops, flooring and finishes, with our Mississauga showroom to see them at full size rather than on a screen.
05
A written scope and quote
Itemised, with the work and the inclusions in writing, so you can compare it against anyone else fairly before you commit to anything.
06
Build and final walkthrough
One team through demolition, trades, cabinetry and installation. At the end we walk the finished kitchen with you and hand over the warranty.
Where we work
The showroom is in Mississauga and the cabinets are built in Woodbridge, but the crews work well past the GTA — Collingwood and Barrie to the north, out to Peterborough and Cobourg in the east, Kitchener and Brantford to the west, and down through Hamilton to Niagara.

What’s involved in a complete kitchen renovation
Most people renovate a kitchen once or twice in their life, so nearly everything about the process is unfamiliar the first time — what the work actually covers, what order it happens in, and which decisions are expensive to change later. Here is the honest version, from kitchens we have built across the Greater Toronto Area.
1
It is not one trade, it is six or seven
A complete kitchen renovation means demolition, any framing or structural change, plumbing and electrical, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, paint and final installation — each depending on the one before it. The expensive mistakes almost always happen in the handovers, not inside any single trade: a cabinet run that does not suit where the electrician put the outlets, a counter templated before the boxes were level, flooring laid to a layout that then changed. That is the real argument for one company holding the whole sequence rather than you coordinating five.
2
The order the work happens in
Demolition first, then framing and structural work, then plumbing and electrical roughed in while the walls are still open — and inspected at that point, because once it is closed up nobody can see it. Cabinets go in next. Only once the cabinets are installed and levelled does anyone template the countertops. Templating from drawings instead of from the boxes actually in the room is the most common reason a counter arrives that does not sit right, and it is a mistake that costs weeks to undo. Backsplash follows the counters, then flooring, trim and paint, then appliances and the walkthrough.

Changing the layout is the decision that costs most
Keeping the sink, stove and fridge roughly where they are is dramatically cheaper and faster than moving them, and it is the single biggest lever on both price and schedule. Moving a sink to a different wall means running drain across the floor joists rather than along them — several times the work, and often opening the ceiling below. It can absolutely be worth it: a kitchen you will stand in for fifteen years should not be arranged around where a pipe happened to run in 1985. But it should be a decision you make deliberately at the design stage, not one that surfaces halfway through demolition.
4
Cabinetry is where the budget goes, and the quality
Cabinets are usually the largest line in a kitchen and the part you physically touch every day, so it is worth knowing what you are comparing: how the box is built, whether the hinges and drawer runners are decent, and what the doors are actually made of rather than what they look like in a photograph. We manufacture ours at our own facility in Woodbridge and you can see the finishes full size at the Mississauga showroom. The practical value of that is not only price — the company that builds the cabinets is the company that installs them and the company that warranties them, so if a door needs adjusting in two years there is no supplier to point at.
5
Permits and inspections in Ontario
A like-for-like replacement generally does not need a building permit. Structural changes, moving a plumbing stack and new electrical circuits do, and where a permit applies it adds both cost and time for scheduling the inspection. Separately from that, an ESA inspection is required whenever the electrical is modified — which in practice covers nearly every kitchen renovation, because new circuits for the range, the dishwasher and the counter receptacles are almost always part of the job. Any renovator who tells you a full kitchen never involves ESA is worth a second question.
6
What it is like to live through
Cabinets take two to four weeks to build, depending on the scope and the materials you choose, so most of the waiting happens before anyone arrives. Once they are in, demolition through to cabinets, plumbing, electrical and countertops installed runs one to two weeks — three to four if you are renovating more than the kitchen. You can usually stay in the house, but you will be without a sink and a stove for most of that, so it is worth setting up a kettle, a microwave and a washing-up spot somewhere else before the first day. Dust is the thing people underestimate — ask any renovator you are considering how they contain it and how they leave the site each evening, and compare the answers.
7
What separates a renovation that goes well
Three things, consistently. A written scope agreed before anything is demolished, so what is included is a document rather than a memory of a conversation. One company accountable for the whole sequence, so a delay in one trade is their problem to solve and not yours to chase. And a warranty from whoever actually did the work — not from a supplier you have never met. None of that is glamorous, and all of it is what the difference comes down to a year later.
Questions homeowners ask us
Do I need the design worked out before I contact you?
No — most people arrive with a rough idea and a few photographs, and that is plenty to start from. Design and material selection are part of what we do: we measure, talk through how you actually use the kitchen, and work the layout out with you. Coming in with nothing decided is normal, and it is usually cheaper than arriving committed to a plan that turns out not to suit the space.
Do you do cabinet refacing or countertops on their own?
Refacing, yes — as its own service. Repainting, vinyl wrapping and made-to-measure replacement doors start at $5,000, with the doors built in our own Woodbridge factory; see our kitchen refacing page. Countertops on their own, no: we only fabricate counters and backsplash as part of a kitchen project, and a dedicated stone shop will beat us on a standalone swap.
Why won’t other contractors give me a price?
Because a kitchen can genuinely range from twenty thousand to over a hundred, and a wrong number early costs them the job either way. We’d rather show you the range up front so you can decide whether it’s worth your time to have anyone come out.
How long does a kitchen take?
Cabinets take two to four weeks to build, depending on the scope and the materials you choose — most of the waiting happens before anyone arrives at the house. On site, demolition through to cabinets, plumbing, electrical and countertops installed runs one to two weeks. If the job goes beyond the kitchen, allow three to four. Moving plumbing or removing a wall adds time for permits and inspection.
Do I need a permit?
Not for a like-for-like replacement. You will for structural changes, moving plumbing stacks, or new electrical circuits. Where one is needed we draw it, file it and meet the inspector ourselves rather than leaving it to you — the permit fee itself is charged on top, and we tell you the number before the work starts, not after.
Can I live in the house during the renovation?
Most people do. You’ll be without a kitchen sink and stove for the bulk of it, so plan for a temporary setup elsewhere in the house. We dust-seal the work area and clean up at the end of each day.
What’s included in the price?
Cabinetry and hardware, countertop supply and installation, delivery, installation labour, plumbing reconnection, and electrical work including the ESA inspection. Appliances are not included, and permits are extra only where structural work is involved.
What if I only want cabinets, or only countertops?
New cabinets and countertops together is a job we take on — that is a kitchen renovation, whether or not the layout changes. Either one on its own is not: we don’t fit countertops onto existing cabinets, and we don’t reface or re-door boxes we didn’t build. If you’re not sure which side of that your project falls on, call us and we’ll tell you in a minute rather than sending someone out.
Where are your cabinets made?
In our own production facility in Woodbridge, about half an hour from the Mississauga showroom. We manufacture the cabinetry we install — no importer, no wholesaler in between. That means factory-direct pricing, cabinets built to your measurements rather than a catalogue size chart, and a warranty backed by the company that actually made them.
Can I finance my renovation?
Yes — financing is available, so you can spread the cost rather than paying everything up front. Ask Paul about the options when you talk; he’ll walk you through what makes sense for your budget.
Is the in-home measure really free?
Yes. No fee, no deposit, no obligation to proceed. If the numbers don’t work for you, that’s a perfectly good outcome and we’ll tell you so.
