Book your kitchen consultation →Your kitchen has seen better days.
The cabinets that were trendy in 2005 now feel tired. The layout that worked when you moved in doesn’t anymore. You’ve been thinking about this for months — maybe years.
You’ve probably searched online, called a couple of contractors, and heard the same vague promises. ‘Around four weeks.’ ‘Roughly $30K.’ ‘We’ll figure it out as we go.’
That's not how this works. Not here.
How your kitchen renovation works
Five steps. No surprises. You approve every decision before we move forward.
Consultation
We visit your home, assess the space, and listen. You'll leave with a realistic scope and investment range — not a sales pitch.
Design
We build a detailed plan — layout, materials, finishes, timeline. Nothing starts until you sign off.
Selection
We guide you through materials and fixtures. Options within your budget, with lead times confirmed before we order.
Build
Construction starts on schedule. Your project manager updates you at every milestone. Most kitchens are done in 4–6 weeks.
Reveal
Final walkthrough with you. We don't close the project until every detail meets your standards — and ours.
What's included in a kitchen renovation
Full Kitchen Remodels
Complete tear-out and rebuild — new layout, new everything. Designed around how you actually cook and live.
Cabinet & Countertop Upgrades
Custom cabinetry, quartz, granite, or butcher block. Maximize storage without sacrificing style.
Layout & Structural Changes
Open up walls, relocate plumbing, expand your footprint. We handle structural engineering and permits.
Finishes & Fixtures
Backsplash, lighting, flooring, hardware, appliance integration. Every detail dialed in.
What to expect: investment & timeline
Every kitchen is different. Here's what most of our clients invest:
| Scope | Investment Range | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic refresh (finishes, countertops, fixtures) | $25,000 – $35,000 | 3–4 weeks |
| Full kitchen renovation (layout, cabinets, structural) | $35,000 – $50,000+ | 4–6 weeks |
We don't aim to be the cheapest — we aim to be the most predictable.
A well-planned kitchen renovation protects your budget, your timeline, and your sanity. Every project starts with a consultation where we give you real numbers — not a range designed to get us in the door.
Be cautious with quotes that come in significantly lower. They often exclude key scope items — permits, structural work, finishing details, or project management — that get added back as change orders once construction is underway.
That's the difference between a quote that looks good — and one that actually holds.

Kitchen renovation questions
What is your No Surprises Policy?
Before your kitchen renovation begins, every detail is locked in — layout, materials, finishes, timeline, and budget. Your quote covers the full project with no hidden fees. If something unexpected comes up behind a wall or under a counter, we flag it immediately, explain the options, and get your approval before proceeding. You stay in control from start to finish.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Ottawa?
$25,000 to $50,000+, depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh starts around $25K. A full renovation with layout changes and structural work reaches $50K or more. We give you a detailed number after your consultation, not a vague range.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
4–6 weeks for most projects. Cosmetic updates can be faster (3–4 weeks). We lock the schedule before we start — and we stick to it.
Do I need to move out during my kitchen renovation?
Usually no. We set up a temporary kitchen area and manage dust and debris. For major structural work, you may want a few days away — we'll tell you in advance.
Do you handle permits in both Ottawa and Gatineau?
Yes. Kitchen renovations involving structural changes, plumbing relocation, or electrical work require permits in both Ontario and Quebec. We manage everything — including engineering reports for wall removals — on both sides of the river.
Why are some kitchen renovation quotes much cheaper?
Usually because something is missing. Lower kitchen quotes often exclude permits for wall removal, structural engineering, project management, or finishing details like backsplash and hardware. Those items show up later as change orders. We include everything upfront — cabinets, countertops, fixtures, labour, and project management — so the number you see is the number you pay.
How do I get started?
Book a consultation. We visit your home, assess your kitchen space, discuss your goals and budget, and give you a clear scope with real numbers. No pressure, no obligation — just a straightforward conversation about what's possible.
