Most of our complete kitchen projects land in the $65,000–$80,000 range. Pricing depends on cabinetry choice, countertop material, appliance selection, and whether the layout changes.

How long does a kitchen renovation take from design to completion?
Most kitchen renovations take 8–16 weeks depending on scope and complexity. We provide a detailed timeline at your consultation and our on-time completion guarantee keeps your project on track at every milestone. Cabinet lead times and custom fabrication are the most common factors that affect duration.

How does your payment structure work?
We use a milestone-based payment structure tied to actual project progress. You pay in stages — typically at contract signing, demolition completion, rough-in, and final walkthrough — so your investment is always matched to completed work. There are no large upfront deposits and no final payment until you are satisfied with the result. Every milestone and its associated cost is documented in your contract before work begins.

Do you handle permits for kitchen renovations in Toronto?
Yes. We manage the entire permit process and coordinate all required inspections with the City of Toronto to ensure full compliance. This includes permits for any structural, plumbing, or electrical work involved in your kitchen renovation, so you never have to deal with municipal paperwork.

Will I need to move out during the renovation?
No — most clients stay at home during the renovation. We set up a temporary kitchen area with essentials (microwave, kettle, portable cooktop), maintain a clean work zone, and schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Your project manager coordinates timing around your household's needs.

What warranties do you provide on your work?
Every project includes a comprehensive 2-year workmanship warranty covering all labour and installation. All materials, fixtures, and appliances carry their full manufacturer warranties, which we register on your behalf. If anything needs attention after completion, your dedicated project manager remains your single point of contact. Warranty details are documented in your contract and reviewed at your final walkthrough.

How do you handle kitchen design and material selection?
Our design-build process covers everything from layout optimization to cabinet, countertop, and fixture selection. We create detailed 3D renderings so you can see your kitchen before construction starts. For materials, we guide you through curated showroom visits to select cabinetry (custom, semi-custom, or stock), countertops (quartz, granite, marble, quartzite), hardware, and appliance integration. Every selection is documented in your design portfolio.
