"Every cabinet, counter and trade on its own line of the quote."
the home,
reimagined.
Kitchen renovations in Vaughan, drawn in 3D before anything is torn out: new cabinets, counters and backsplash, islands and layout changes. Licensed trades handle plumbing and wiring, and the first visit and quote cost nothing.
What We OfferIn Vaughan, a widened kitchen window needs a building permit plus a lot grading permit, and a structural wall coming out needs engineered beam drawings. New cabinets, counters, backsplash and an island that leave walls and windows alone involve neither.
Transform or replace
Keep your existing layout and save money with professional refacing, or go all-in with custom cabinetry built to your exact specifications.
Statement surfaces
Great-looking counters in butcher block, granite, quartz or marble, sourced and installed by us, with tight seams and an expert backsplash tie-in.
The heart of the home
Each island is made to order: waterfall edges, seating built in, prep sinks, storage. The design follows how you work and how you entertain.
Seamless function
We fit built-in microwaves, panel-ready fridges and integrated dishwashers, and install hood vents, so the appliances look like part of the design.
Bright ideas
With pendants, LEDs beneath the cabinets, better outlets and pot lights recessed into the ceiling, you'll cook and entertain in a new light.
Flow & function
Open up walls, improve the work triangle, add a pantry. We rethink your layout to maximize storage and minimize steps.
Why Choose UsVisualize before we build
Before anything is torn out, photorealistic 3D renders take you around the new kitchen. You see the cabinet colours, the counters and where each appliance goes.
Efficient timelines
We line up the trades so the work runs smoothly and you're cooking again as soon as you can. Most kitchens are finished in 3-4 weeks.

Contact us to check availability →FAQA Vaughan quote depends on whether the structure changes. Most Vaughan houses date from the early 1980s to the mid 2000s, so the work usually begins with the layout the builder drew, and taking out a bearing wall to open it up is a structural alteration: the City permits it only with drawings of the existing structure and, where they apply, engineered beam and joist specifications. That engineering and the permit become lines in the quote.
Three to five weeks of work, for most kitchens. What adds time in Vaughan happens before demolition: a wall coming out needs its drawings and permit approved, and a wider window or a new door to the yard needs a building permit with grading approval from the City. Keep the walls and openings where they are, and the calendar is mostly cabinets, counters and trades.
It does when structure changes. Vaughan's building department wants a permit for every structural alteration inside a house, so moving or removing a structural wall goes through drawings and approval before we demolish it. A new or wider exterior opening needs one as well. When yours does, we prepare the drawings and run the applications and inspections.
That gets settled at the selection stage, with your budget on the table. We choose cabinets, counters and hardware with you and keep them inside the number we agreed, and each choice is priced separately, which shows exactly what a step up or down changes. Custom boxes make the most sense where a standard size would leave a gap or waste a corner.

It is an itemized quote, agreed before work starts, with no hidden costs added once it does. Brent Ste-Croix's review says his cost breakdown came with the chance to "add or remove any details as we desired".

Mostly through the walls around the kitchen. If one has to come out to open the room up and it turns out to be structural, the City wants a permit with engineered beam and joist details first, so that is settled before the cabinets, island and counters are drawn.
People also ask
Once we have measured, you receive 3D renders along with the quote. You see the cabinet run, any island and the counters in place, and you can ask for changes before anything is ordered or torn out.

It can be widened, with a permit. Vaughan requires a building permit to widen an exterior opening, and the application includes a lot grading permit from the City's Development Engineering Department, along with a lintel design and an elevation drawing. We build that approval time into the schedule before the wall is cut.
People also ask
Max, who owns Reno Raptors, leads it; reviewers know him and his father Roman as a father and son team. A single project manager runs the schedule and is your contact from demolition to the final walkthrough, and Vaughan jobs are run out of our Bradford office, which serves York Region.

Yes, for work that changes the outside, such as a bump-out, new or replaced windows and doors, or new exterior trim or cladding. On a property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, Vaughan requires a Heritage Review for those, with Heritage Vaughan Committee review and Council approval before the Heritage Permit is issued.

Good to KnowIn Vaughan, what moves a kitchen quote most is whether the walls, windows and plumbing stay roughly where they are. Beyond the layout, the quote grows with the cabinets, counters and backsplash you pick, with trades work for anything that moves, and with the structural and permit work Vaughan asks for when a wall or opening changes. Each is listed separately in the itemized quote that follows the free consultation, so you see them before you commit.
If we find a problem once the old kitchen is out, we stop, photograph it and give you a price for the fix before carrying on. That is how the bill at the end matches what you agreed to, plus only the changes you approved.
Three Vaughan rules decide whether a kitchen needs paperwork. Structural alterations inside the house need a building permit, with drawings of what is there now, what changes, and engineered beam and joist details where they apply. Cutting a new door or window in an exterior wall, or widening one, needs a building permit plus a lot grading permit from Development Engineering. On a property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, a new kitchen window or a bump-out at the back also needs a Heritage Review: the Heritage Vaughan Committee looks at it, and Council approves it before a Heritage Permit is issued. A cabinet and counter swap on the existing layout touches none of those. We tell you which applies at the first visit, and when one does, we draw the plans and handle the applications and inspections.
Most of Vaughan's housing was built after 1980. Of 103,915 occupied homes in the 2021 Census, only 7,895 predate 1981, and the bulk went up from 1981 to 2005. So a kitchen renovation here usually replaces a builder kitchen rather than a pre-war room: original cabinets and counters, in a layout set by the plan the house was sold with.
The work then splits two ways. One renews the finishes on the same layout. The other rearranges the room, sometimes around an island. The first is straightforward, and the second is where the planning goes, because it decides whether a permit is needed.
Before a wall comes out, we find out what it carries. If it is structural, the permit drawings show the existing framing, the change, and the beam and joist sizes the new opening needs, and the City approves that before demolition. The beam design is settled on paper, so the crew is not improvising once the drywall is off. With the permit issued, the wall comes out during the build, and we book the inspection before the ceiling is closed.
Selections happen after the design is agreed, with the quote beside you, and each cabinet, counter and backsplash choice is held to the figure you set. If you want a costlier counter, we show you where the money can come from elsewhere instead of letting the total drift. In a Vaughan kitchen, settle the window before the cabinets: widening the one over the sink needs its own permit and grading approval, and it changes the upper cabinet run. Custom kitchen cabinets make sense when a new opening or a removed wall leaves a run that standard boxes do not fit, and the renders show it before anything is ordered.
Vaughan kitchens are run from our Bradford office. Your old kitchen stays in use while the City reviews any beam drawings or grading permit. Demolition waits for the approval, so the 3 to 5 weeks without a kitchen start when the crew does. Through those weeks, dust is contained every day and the work area is kept safe for children and pets.
Our own crew handles demolition, cabinets, counters and backsplash, and licensed plumbers and electricians do their trades, all under one project manager who sends you a daily update. Max, the owner, leads the work with his father Roman. We hold licences, insurance and WSIB coverage, and Google reviewers rate us 5.0 across 40 reviews.
