Kitchen Renovations in Peterborough

The kitchen gets more use than any other room in the house. We renovate the whole room, from cabinets and countertops to backsplash and flooring, so the finished space works for the way your family cooks and gathers.

We keep finishes practical and durable, and we'll help you plan a layout that fits the space and the budget you have in mind.

Before picking cabinets or colours, think about how the kitchen gets used: who cooks, where everyone gathers, where groceries land and where clutter builds up. Those habits should shape the layout more than any trend.

The classic advice still holds: keep the sink, fridge and stove close enough to move between easily, with counter space beside each. An island can add prep space and seating if the room leaves enough space to walk around it.

Keeping the sink and appliances where they are now is usually the simplest route in a kitchen renovation. New cabinets, counters, backsplash and flooring in the existing layout can still transform the room.

Changing the layout, such as moving plumbing or gas lines, opens up more options but adds cost and time. Knowing which kind of project you want before the estimate makes the conversation, and the quote, far more useful.

Solid cabinet boxes and good drawer hardware matter more over twenty years than the door style. Quartz counters are popular because they resist stains and don't need sealing.

Kitchen flooring has to handle water and dropped pans, so tile and good vinyl plank are common choices.

While the kitchen is torn out, meals get harder. Many families set up a temporary station in the dining room or basement with the fridge, a microwave and a kettle, and plan on simpler meals for a while.

Choosing cabinets and counters before demolition starts shortens that stretch. Stone counters are usually measured once the cabinets are in, so expect a short gap at that stage.

The size of the kitchen, whether the layout changes, plumbing, gas or electrical changes, the cabinets, counters and flooring you choose, and permits all move the price of a kitchen renovation. Prices vary a lot between homes, so ask for an itemised quote that says what is included.

A range from a guide is a range across many homes, not a quote. The only way to get a real number is to have someone look at the space, which is what the free estimate at your home is for.

Permit rules depend on the work and the property, and they change. Before you start, ask your municipality's building department what applies to your plan (in the City of Peterborough, the building division), especially if it moves plumbing, gas lines or walls.
