Frequently asked questions
Everything Ottawa homeowners ask about kitchen renovations
1. How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Ottawa?
Pricing depends on layout changes, cabinet quality, countertop material, and appliance selection.
2. How long does a kitchen renovation take from start to finish?
Most Ottawa kitchen renovations take 6–10 weeks. Smaller refreshes can finish in 4 weeks; larger open-concept builds with structural work can take 12+ weeks. Custom cabinetry lead times are usually the longest single factor — we order early to avoid delays.
3. Can you take down a load-bearing wall to open up my kitchen?
Yes — open-concept conversions are one of our most-requested kitchen renovations. We coordinate the structural engineer, beam install, City of Ottawa permits, and inspections in-house. Most load-bearing wall removals take 2–4 days once permits are approved.
4. Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen in Ottawa?
You need a City of Ottawa permit for structural changes (wall removal), new electrical circuits, plumbing relocation, or HVAC modifications. Cosmetic refreshes (cabinets and counters in the same footprint) usually don't require one. We handle permit applications and inspections.
5. What countertops do you recommend for Ottawa kitchens?
Quartz is our most-recommended countertop for Ottawa kitchens — durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for cold-winter humidity swings. We also install granite, porcelain slab, and butcher block. We work with Ottawa-area suppliers including Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, and Hanstone.
6. Can I keep using my kitchen during the renovation?
Briefly, yes — but most clients set up a temporary kitchen (microwave + fridge + portable burner) in another room for 4–8 weeks of the build. We help you plan this transition before demolition begins.
7. Do you do custom cabinetry or stock cabinets?
Both. We install custom-built cabinetry for clients who want exact dimensions, premium finishes, and specialty inserts. We also work with high-quality semi-custom and stock lines for clients on tighter budgets — without sacrificing build quality.
8. What's included in your kitchen renovation quote?
Design consultation, demolition, framing/structural work, plumbing rough-ins, electrical upgrades, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash tile, flooring, lighting, paint, hardware, permit assistance, appliance install coordination, full cleanup, and final walkthrough.
