Full Kitchen Remodels in Burnaby
Take the old kitchen down to the studs and build one that works: new layout, cabinets, counters, tile, lighting and floors, run by one team from start to finish.
A Complete Kitchen Remodel, Planned Before Anything Comes Out
A full kitchen renovation is the biggest job most homes ever get, and most of what goes wrong happens before the first cabinet comes off the wall. The layout wasn’t thought through. The cabinets were ordered before the plumbing was checked. Nobody asked the strata. The counters were templated on cabinets that weren’t level.
We do it the other way round. We visit, measure and listen to how you use the kitchen. Then we plan the layout, help you choose every finish, and sort out the permits, strata approval and any testing an older Burnaby home needs. Only then does demolition start, on a schedule you have in writing.
From there, one project lead runs the job: demolition, rough-in for plumbing and electrical with licensed trades, drywall, cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, lighting and the finishing details. You have one person to call the whole way through.

In Burnaby
Full Remodels in Burnaby Houses and Condos
Most full remodels we plan in Burnaby fall into two groups. In the detached houses of Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights and South Slope, the kitchen is often original to a 1960s or 1970s build: closed off from the dining room, short on outlets and lit by one ceiling fixture. Those jobs usually involve moving a wall or a sink, which means permits and, in an older home, a hazardous-materials check first.
In the towers around Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed, the layout is mostly fixed by the building’s plumbing stacks, so the work is about getting much more out of the same footprint, inside the strata’s rules on hours, elevators and noise.

FAQ
Full Kitchen Renovation: Common Questions
How long does a full kitchen renovation take?
Once demolition starts, a full remodel in a condo usually takes about three to five weeks on site, and a house with layout changes about six to ten. Design, selections and cabinet lead time come before that. Your schedule is written into the quote. See the timeline guide for each phase.
Can we live at home during the renovation?
Usually, yes. We seal the work area with dust walls, protect floors and keep a clear path through the house. Most families set up a small temporary kitchen in the dining room for a few weeks.
Do you handle the plumbing and electrical?
Yes. We coordinate licensed plumbers and electricians as part of the job, and they pull the trade permits the work needs. You don’t have to find or schedule them yourself.
Why don’t you list prices?
Because two kitchens of the same size can be very different jobs. Moving a sink, opening a wall or choosing custom cabinets changes the scope a lot. After a visit you get a written quote for your kitchen, at no cost and with no obligation.
