A Real Success Story
Amy from Vaughan hired a "kitchen specialist" last year. Three months later, she was still eating takeout, her house was covered in dust, and two subcontractors had disappeared. The project that was supposed to take six weeks turned into four months of chaos.
We finished her neighbor's complete kitchen renovation in three weeks. Same size kitchen. Better results. Half the drama.
The difference? We actually know what we're doing.
Why Most Kitchen Renovations Turn Into Nightmares
Too Many Moving Parts
Cabinets, counters, flooring, plumbing, electrical, painting, trim work. Most contractors farm everything out to different trades who don't talk to each other.
No Real Project Management
"The electrician will call you" isn't project management. It's hope disguised as a plan.
Unrealistic Timelines
Contractors promise six weeks because that's what you want to hear. Then reality hits.
Hidden Costs
"Oh, we need to move that pipe. That's extra." Every project has surprises, but good contractors plan for them.
How We Do Kitchen Renovations Right
Real Project Management
One project manager from start to finish. You get their cell number. They coordinate everything - trades, deliveries, inspections, timeline. You deal with one person, not twelve.
Realistic Scheduling
We tell you three weeks because it actually takes three weeks. Not because it sounds good. Our reputation depends on hitting our timelines.
Quality Trade Partners
We work with the same electricians, plumbers, and flooring guys for years. They know our standards. They show up when they're supposed to.
Detailed Planning Phase
Before we swing a hammer, we plan everything. Kitchen design consultation, material selections, permit applications, delivery schedules. Boring but important.
Daily Communication
You'll know what's happening each day. Progress photos, timeline updates, any issues that come up. No surprises.
Real Kitchen Renovation Success Stories
The Mississauga Family Kitchen
The Johnsons had three kids under 10 and needed their kitchen back fast. Original timeline: 3 weeks. Actual timeline: 18 days. New painted cabinets, quartz counters, tile backsplash, and luxury vinyl flooring. The kids were eating breakfast in their "new" kitchen before the Christmas break ended.
Toronto Condo Transformation
Small space, big dreams. Lisa's 1980s galley kitchen felt cramped and dated. We opened it up to the living room, added an island with seating, and used light colors throughout. Same square footage, completely different feel.
Oakville Heritage Home
Classic 1920s house with a kitchen stuck in 1975. We kept the character but added modern function - custom storage, hidden appliances, and period-appropriate details like crown molding. Old soul, new heart.
Burlington Open Concept
The Millers wanted their separate kitchen and dining room to become one big family space. We removed the wall (after checking with a structural engineer), added a massive island, and created the entertaining space they'd always wanted.
What's Included in a Complete Kitchen Renovation
Cabinet Work
New cabinets or cabinet refacing - your choice. Crown molding, trim work, custom storage solutions - whatever makes your kitchen work better.
Countertops
Quartz, granite, butcher block, concrete - we work with all materials. We handle templating, fabrication coordination, and installation.
Flooring
Hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl, whatever works for your lifestyle and budget. We coordinate with our flooring partners perfectly.
Backsplash & Tile
From simple subway tile to custom mosaic designs. Our tile guys are artists who happen to work in kitchens.
Plumbing & Electrical
Licensed professionals who show up on time. New island? We'll run the electrical. Moving the sink? We'll handle the plumbing.
Paint & Finishing
Final paint, trim touch-ups, and detail work that makes everything look finished. The difference between "done" and "beautiful."

Week 3: Finishing Work
Counters installed. Backsplash tile. Final plumbing and electrical connections. Paint and trim work. Appliance hookups. Final cleanup.
Week 4 (If Needed): Details and Touch-ups
Some kitchens are done in three weeks. Others need extra time for custom work or complex layouts. We'll tell you upfront which yours is.

Common Kitchen Renovation Questions
How long does a kitchen renovation really take?
Most kitchens: 3-4 weeks. Complex layouts or custom work: 4-5 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront, not what you want to hear.
Can I live in the house during renovation?
Yes, but it's not fun. No kitchen sink for 2-3 weeks. Dust everywhere despite our best efforts. Most families eat a lot of takeout and use the basement or garage sink.
What permits do I need?
We handle all permits. Electrical work needs permits. Plumbing changes need permits. Moving walls definitely needs permits. We know what's required.
How much should I budget for appliances?
That's totally up to you. Basic functional appliances: $3,000-5,000. Mid-range with some nice features: $6,000-10,000. High-end everything: $15,000-25,000+.
