Kitchen renovation cost questions, answered straight
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Toronto in 2026?
On our rate card, a kitchen renovation runs $28,000–$56,000 depending on footprint, cabinet count and spec tier. Cabinet-and-counter refreshes land at the low end; full-gut kitchens with layout changes at the top. Your exact number takes 2 minutes on the brief.
What's included in the price?
Demo and disposal, cabinet installation, counters, backsplash tile, plumbing and electrical by licensed trades, lighting, paint, and project management with per-milestone payments. Cabinets and counters follow your Good/Better/Best pick — each tier priced on the page.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A cabinet-and-counter refresh runs 1–2 weeks. A full kitchen with new layout runs 3–5 weeks including counter templating. The schedule is milestone-tracked in your project room with weekly photo updates.
Can I keep my existing layout to save money?
Yes — keeping plumbing and gas where they are is the single biggest saver, often $3,000–$6,000. The brief asks exactly that question and reprices live when you answer.
Are cabinets included?
Yes — supplied by the crew at the tier you pick, builder-grade shaker at STD through custom-fit at BEST, or they install yours if you already ordered. Both paths are on the rate card.
