What's included
Two ways to do a kitchen.
Most kitchens do not need gutting. The honest first question is whether the boxes and the layout are worth keeping — if they are, refinishing gets you most of the result for a fraction of the work.
Option two
Full renovation
- Strip-out and disposal
- New cabinetry set and levelled
- Counter templating and install
- Flooring, tile and trim
- Licensed plumbing and electrical coordinated
Counter fabrication is normally the longest wait — it goes in the schedule up front.
Either way
What we do ourselves
- Cabinet refinishing and spray finishing
- Tile, backsplash and flooring
- Drywall, taping and paint
- Trim, doors and hardware
- Demolition and disposal
Plumbing, electrical and gas go to licensed trades, named before you sign.

What moves the number.
Typical range
Ask for a figure
We publish real numbers rather than "it depends" — but only once they're ours to publish. Our written ranges are being finalised; call and we'll give you one over the phone in a minute. What moves the number:
- Refinish versus replace — by far the biggest single factor
- Number of doors and drawer fronts, and whether they are flat or profiled
- Counter material and how much of it there is
- Backsplash tile choice and pattern — herringbone and mosaic take longer to set
- Whether plumbing or electrical has to move
- Flooring, and whether the old floor comes up

Questions
Kitchens, answered.
Can you refinish existing cabinets instead of replacing them?
Usually, yes — and it is the single biggest saving available in a kitchen. If the boxes are solid and the layout works, doors and frames get degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed rather than brushed. The finish is what decides whether it looks refinished or replaced, which is why it is sprayed and why the prep takes longer than the painting.
How long is the kitchen out of action?
A refinish is typically five to eight working days, and the kitchen stays usable for most of it — doors come off, the boxes stay. A full gut with new cabinets, counters and tile runs three to five weeks depending on lead times on the counters.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical in a kitchen?
Not in-house. Ontario makes both compulsory trades, so a licensed plumber handles the sink and dishwasher connections and a Licensed Electrical Contractor handles any circuit work, with the ESA notification filed under their licence. We schedule and coordinate around them, and we tell you which parts of the job that covers before you sign.
What about the countertop?
Quartz and granite are templated after the cabinets are set, and fabrication is typically one to two weeks after templating. That gap is normally the longest single wait in a kitchen job, so it gets built into the schedule rather than discovered halfway through.
Can you just do the backsplash and paint?
Yes. Backsplash tile, cabinet refinishing and a repaint is a common package and often the highest-value week of work you can buy in a kitchen.
