How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Toronto and Richmond Hill?
Kitchen renovation cost depends on the size of the kitchen, the quality of materials, cabinet selection, countertop material, flooring, lighting, plumbing, electrical work, and whether the layout stays the same or changes.
A simple refresh usually costs less because the cabinets, plumbing, and appliance locations may stay close to the original layout. A full custom kitchen renovation costs more because it may include new cabinets, stone countertops, new flooring, upgraded lighting, plumbing changes, electrical upgrades, backsplash, and full project management.
Here is a general cost guide:
| Kitchen Renovation Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Small kitchen refresh | $15,000 – $25,000 |
| Standard | $30,000 – $55,000 |
| Custom | $55,000 – $85,000+ |
| Luxury | $85,000+ |
These numbers are only general estimates. The final price depends on your home, design, materials, and project scope.
At Renotec, we provide clear pricing before construction begins. We explain what is included, what can affect the budget, and where your money is going.
What Affects Kitchen Renovation Cost?
Many homeowners only think about cabinets and countertops, but several items affect the total cost of a kitchen renovation.
Important cost factors include:
- Kitchen size
- Cabinet type and cabinet finish
- Countertop material
- Backsplash material
- Flooring material
- Plumbing relocation
- Electrical upgrades
- Lighting design
- Appliance selection
- Wall removal or structural work
- Ventilation and hood fan location
- Custom millwork
- Permit requirements
- Project timeline
The more changes you make to the layout, the more planning and labour may be required. For example, moving a sink, relocating appliances, removing a wall, or adding a large island can increase the scope of work.
That is why we always recommend planning the kitchen carefully before starting demolition.

Our Kitchen Renovation Process
A good kitchen renovation starts with a clear process. Without proper planning, kitchen projects can become stressful, delayed, and more expensive.
At Renotec, we follow a step-by-step process to keep your project organized.
H3: 1. Consultation and Project Review
We start by learning about your goals, budget, kitchen size, timeline, and design ideas. We also review your current kitchen layout, storage problems, appliance needs, and any issues with the existing space.
This helps us understand what you want and what is possible.
H3: 2. Measurements and Layout Planning
Accurate measurements are very important in kitchen renovation. Cabinets, appliances, countertops, island size, and lighting must all work together.
We review your kitchen layout and help you decide if the existing layout should stay the same or be changed.
H3: 3. 3D Kitchen Design
A 3D kitchen design helps you see the space before construction starts. It makes it easier to understand the cabinet layout, island location, appliance placement, countertop style, and overall look.
This step helps reduce mistakes and gives you more confidence before the renovation begins.
H3: 4. Material Selection
We help coordinate material choices such as cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, sink, faucet, handles, lighting, and paint colours.
Choosing materials early helps avoid delays during construction.
H3: 5. Demolition and Rough-In Work
Once the plan is ready, we remove the old kitchen and prepare the space. This may include framing, plumbing, electrical work, ventilation, drywall repair, and floor preparation.
This stage is important because the work behind the finishes affects the final result.
H3: 6. Cabinet, Countertop, and Finish Installation
After rough-in work is complete, we install cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, fixtures, and final finishes.
We focus on clean work, proper installation, and careful details.
H3: 7. Final Walkthrough
At the end of the project, we review the finished kitchen with you and make sure the important details are completed properly.
Common Kitchen Renovation Mistakes to Avoid
Many kitchen renovation problems happen because the project was not planned properly from the beginning.
Here are common mistakes homeowners should avoid:
- Ordering cabinets before final appliance measurements
- Not planning enough electrical outlets
- Poor lighting layout
- Weak kitchen ventilation
- Choosing the wrong flooring material
- Not planning enough storage
- Ignoring plumbing and electrical conditions
- Choosing style over function
- Starting demolition before materials are ready
- Not checking if a wall is load-bearing before removal
- Poor island size or bad walkway clearance
- No plan for garbage, recycling, and pantry storage
- Using cheap installation to save money
A kitchen can look nice in photos but still be uncomfortable to use every day. That is why layout, storage, lighting, ventilation, and construction quality matter.
At Renotec, we help homeowners avoid these mistakes by planning the kitchen carefully before construction starts.

Open-Concept Kitchen Remodeling
Open-concept kitchens are popular in Toronto, Richmond Hill, and across the GTA. Many homeowners want to remove walls and connect the kitchen with the dining or living area.
This can create a brighter and more modern space, but it must be planned correctly.
Before removing any wall, it is important to check:
- Is the wall load-bearing?
- Are there plumbing lines inside the wall?
- Are there electrical wires inside the wall?
- Is HVAC affected?
- Is a permit required?
- Is a structural beam needed?
- How will flooring be matched?
- How will lighting be redesigned?
Renotec helps homeowners plan open-concept kitchen renovations carefully so the final space feels natural, safe, and well-designed.
Kitchen Cabinets, Countertops, and Finishes
Cabinets and countertops are usually the most visible parts of a kitchen renovation. They also affect storage, function, and daily use.
Renotec can help you choose cabinets and finishes based on your budget, lifestyle, and design goals.
Popular kitchen renovation upgrades include:
- Custom cabinets
- Soft-close drawers
- Pantry cabinets
- Hidden storage
- Kitchen islands
- Quartz countertops
- Waterfall countertops
- Full-height backsplash
- Under-cabinet lighting
- Modern hardware
- Built-in appliances
- Open shelving
- Durable flooring
Good material selection can make your kitchen easier to maintain and better suited for everyday use.
Kitchen Lighting, Electrical, and Ventilation
Lighting and electrical planning are very important in a kitchen renovation. A beautiful kitchen can still feel uncomfortable if the lighting is poor or outlets are not placed properly.
A proper kitchen lighting plan may include:
- Pot lights
- Pendant lights over the island
- Under-cabinet lighting
- Task lighting
- Accent lighting
- Dimmer switches
- Proper outlet placement
Ventilation is also important, especially if you cook often. The hood fan location, ducting, and appliance layout should be reviewed early in the planning stage.
Renotec helps coordinate lighting, electrical, and ventilation planning so your kitchen works properly after the renovation is complete.
Do You Need a Permit for a Kitchen Upgrade?
Not every kitchen renovation needs a building permit. Simple updates like replacing cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and fixtures may not require a permit.
However, a permit may be required if the project includes:
- Removing a load-bearing wall
- Structural changes
- Major plumbing relocation
- Major electrical changes
- HVAC changes
- Layout changes that affect building systems
- Work in a condo that requires board approval
Permit requirements depend on your city, property type, and project scope.
Renotec can help you understand what may be required before the project begins.
