Kitchen Renovation Vancouver

A kitchen renovation is the single most-requested project in our Vancouver showroom — and the one where coordination matters most. A typical kitchen reno touches seven or eight trades: demo, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, cabinets, countertops, and flooring. When any of them runs late, the whole project stretches. Canadian Flooring & Renovations handles the entire kitchen renovation in-house and through coordinated trade partners, so you have one number to call and one project manager keeping the calendar tight.

We have completed kitchen renovations across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, the North Shore, and the rest of Metro Vancouver since 1999 — from full character-home rebuilds in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant to compact Yaletown condo galleys and family kitchens in Dunbar.

What a Vancouver kitchen renovation includes

• Demo and disposal — protected work area, dust containment, careful removal of existing cabinets, countertops, tile and appliances.
• Plumbing and electrical rough-in — licensed trades coordinated through proper permits for relocated sinks, dishwasher, range, microwave, and pot lights.
• Drywall, framing, and prep — for relocated walls, soffit work, new openings, or pass-throughs.
• Cabinetry — supply and install of new cabinets (custom, semi-custom, or pre-built), or refacing of existing boxes for budget-conscious projects.
• Countertops — quartz (Caesarstone, Silestone), granite, porcelain slab, or solid surface — templated and installed.
• Tile backsplash — ceramic, porcelain, mosaic, or large-format — installed with code-compliant substrate prep.
• Flooring — hardwood, engineered, LVP/SPC, tile or laminate — selected for your space and lifestyle.
• Lighting and finishing — pot lights, under-cabinet LED, switches, trim, paint touch-ups, hardware install.
• Final clean and walkthrough — no project hands off until you have signed off.

Why Vancouver kitchen renovations are different

Vancouver kitchens come with their own constraints — and getting them right is what separates a polished renovation from a frustrating one.

• Strata buildings require pre-approval of trades, contractor insurance, WorkSafeBC clearance letters, and often IIC-rated underlayment on any new flooring. We handle this paperwork as a routine part of every condo job.
• Older Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant homes often hide outdated knob-and-tube wiring, undersized plumbing supply lines, or settled subfloors. We flag these during our initial walk-through, not mid-demo.
• Coastal humidity affects cabinet wood and hardware finishes. We steer clients toward properly-sealed boxes and finishes that hold up over Vancouver winters.
• Permits — most kitchen renovations involving plumbing or electrical changes require permits from the City of Vancouver. We coordinate this with licensed trades.

Kitchen renovation cost in Vancouver

Kitchen renovation costs in Vancouver vary widely based on scope, materials, and the building. A like-for-like cosmetic refresh (paint, hardware, countertop only) can start under $20,000. A mid-range full renovation (new cabinets, quartz counters, tile backsplash, LVP flooring, lighting) typically falls in the $40,000–$70,000 range. High-end full renovations with custom cabinetry, premium hardwood, and structural changes often run $80,000–$150,000+.

These are planning ranges only — your actual quote depends on the scope, materials, building type, and any unforeseen conditions found during demo. We give itemized written quotes after an in-home consultation.
