Kitchen Renovation in Vancouver

A well-planned kitchen renovation in the Vancouver market recoups roughly 75 to 95 percent of its cost at sale, making it one of the strongest pre-sale investments. The highest recovery comes from mid-range updates focused on layout, cabinetry, counters, and lighting rather than top-of-line appliances.

A typical full kitchen renovation takes 4 to 8 weeks of construction once materials are on site. Custom cabinetry and appliance lead times add planning time before demolition starts, so we lock the design and order long-lead items first. A temporary kitchen setup keeps your home livable throughout.

Cosmetic updates like cabinets, counters, and flooring do not need a permit. Moving plumbing, gas, or electrical, or removing walls, does. Most full kitchen renovations involve at least electrical and plumbing permits, which we obtain and close out with inspections as part of the project.

Layout improvements, quality mid-range cabinetry, stone counters, and good lighting add the most resale value in Vancouver homes. An open sightline to the living area consistently outperforms luxury appliances on return. If you are renovating to sell, we scope specifically to the 75 to 95 percent cost-recovery range.

Yes, and it is usually the efficient order. When we build a basement suite we are already running plumbing and electrical, so upgrading the main kitchen in the same project shares trades, permits, and site setup. Bundled projects cost less than doing the two jobs a year apart.
