There is no single figure, because the quote is built line by line from your room. The cabinet decision comes first: refaced, replaced or custom built. After that the price moves with the counter material, any sink or wall that moves (new piping, a permit, and for a load-bearing wall an engineer and a beam) and any extra electrical capacity the new appliances call for. Cabinets, stone and fixtures are priced at our supplier rates.
Typically 3 to 5 weeks, and ours average 3 to 4. What stretches one is a change after the cabinets are ordered, or a moved sink or wall, which puts a permit review ahead of the start. You can stay at home through it, because we set up a temporary kitchen space with coffee, a microwave and a sink.
Usually not when the new cabinets and counter go back along the same walls and the sink stays where it is. Moving the sink to an island or taking out a wall makes it permit work, so drawings and an application come before demolition. Ontario sets the rule for renovations, each municipality lists the work it covers, and we check your town's list against the 3D design.
The layout, the finishes, the appliance list and the cabinet order, all signed off on the 3D design. Appliances come first because every major one, the microwave included, needs a dedicated outlet that is wired at rough-in. The cabinets are ordered from the same drawings, so changing either after demolition costs time.

Yes, they need GFCI protection. Ontario requires it on any outlet within 1.5 metres of a sink, which takes in the outlets on most sink islands and on the counter next to the sink. The electrician picks GFCI receptacles or breakers for that run, so the sink's spot is fixed on the 3D design before the wiring is filed.

Sometimes. A larger range, a second wall oven or a switch from gas to electric cooking can add more load than an older service carries, so the panel is checked before the layout is fixed. If it falls short, the day the power is off and ESA's inspection of the new service go into the kitchen schedule.

Yes, and the design stage is the time to add it. Mark Milovanov's review says his final price went up because he decided to add a coffee bar. A bar needs its own stretch of counter away from the prep space, an outlet for the machine, and a water line if the machine is plumbed in or the bar gets a small sink, so it goes into the cabinet order.
People also ask
Most are layout mistakes that show only once the kitchen is in use. A fridge door swings across the walkway, the open dishwasher blocks the sink, or the sink, range and fridge sit too far apart to cook between. A range hood may have no route outside for its duct, which is hard to add once the drywall is up. Each is easy to fix on the 3D design.
People also ask
Choose the models early and have them delivered late. Each model's width, depth and door swing decide the cabinet openings and the space around them, so the 3D design needs the models before it is signed. The appliances go in after the cabinets and counters, so a delivery during demolition means storing boxed appliances in another room for weeks.

Usually one that keeps the sink, range and fridge on the walls where their services already run. A galley or L-shape along those walls leaves floor space open and avoids moving drains, which would bring a permit and an inspection. The 3D renders show the room with its cabinets in place before anything is ordered.

Good to KnowOntario's permit rule reaches a kitchen once the plan moves plumbing or structure. A sink carried out to an island needs new drain and supply piping run to it, and a wall opened to the dining room may be holding up the floor above. Where it carries load, we handle the whole removal: the permit, the engineer and the beam that takes the wall's place.
In Ontario, hired electrical work may only be done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor or an electrician that contractor employs, so a kitchen's new wiring cannot go to the cabinet installer or a handyman. On our jobs it goes to our own licensed electricians. In a kitchen that covers GFCI protection on outlets near the sink and island, interlocked outlets inside cabinets, and a check of the panel against the new appliances.
A kitchen's calendar runs off the cabinets. They are ordered when the 3D design is signed, and their delivery date, more than demolition, decides when installation can start. Once the boxes are set and level, the counter is measured off them, since the slab is cut to the run as it was installed. Appliances are the last thing in, after the counter and the backsplash tile.
Mark Milovanov spent days finalizing his plans with a designer and an engineer before his build began. During the work, Brent Ste-Croix noticed the crew was courteous to his dogs, and that Max messaged him every time he came and went.
The cabinet choice decides how much of the kitchen is opened up. Refacing puts new doors and fronts on the boxes you have, so the sink, the outlets and the wiring behind them stay where they are. Replacing the boxes leaves the walls bare, which is the time to add an outlet for an appliance garage or move the dishwasher beside the sink.
Custom kitchen cabinets are made for one plan, so an island with a sink, a pantry wall around the fridge or a coffee station behind doors is built as drawn instead of pieced together from stock sizes. Every drawer and cabinet door gets soft-close hardware as standard, whichever route you take.
A kitchen backsplash is wired long before it is tiled. The counter outlets, the switches and the feed for the under-cabinet lights go in at rough-in, so their positions are fixed on the 3D design, and the tile layout is planned around them.
Tile goes up only after the counter is in, so the first row starts on the finished edge rather than on a gap left for the slab. Quartz, granite, marble and butcher block are the counter options.
