Our Kitchen Renovation & Remodel Services

We handle everything from minor updates like replacing countertops and refacing cabinets to a complete remodel that transforms the entire space. Our services cover homes and condos across Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, St. Albert, Sherwood Park & More.

Full-Gut Kitchen Remodels

A full-gut kitchen remodel means stripping the room down to the studs and starting fresh. This is ideal for older homes with closed-off, dark kitchens that need a full layout reset.

• Removal of old cabinets, flooring, walls, and finishes, followed by a completely new layout.
• Structural changes including beam installation when removing load-bearing walls.
• Updated electrical plans, new plumbing lines, and HVAC vents as needed.
• Integration of energy-efficient appliances and modern storage solutions like full-height pantries, pull-out organizers, and deep drawers to maximize storage.
• Complete project management of permits and inspections with the City of Edmonton or relevant municipality.

Cabinet Replacement & Custom Cabinetry

Replacing worn-out kitchen cabinets is one of the fastest ways to transform a room. Cabinetry usually takes up the largest portion of the renovation budget, often around 30% or more, and removing and re-installing cabinets can cost up to 35% of renovation spend, so the right choice matters.

• Replace builder-grade cabinets with custom cabinets or semi-custom units designed for your exact space – custom cabinetry typically offers better long-term value than prefab options.
• MDF doors with quality painted finishes resist cracking and warping in dry Alberta winters, unlike solid wood that shifts with low humidity.
• Options include soft-close hardware, deeper drawers, corner pull-outs, and full-height pantry cabinets.
• A strong choice for homeowners who like their current layout but want a higher-end look – using prefabricated cabinets or stock options can significantly lower material expenses if budget is tight.

Countertops, Backsplashes & Surfaces

New countertops make an immediate visual and practical impact. We supply and install engineered quartz countertops that suit Alberta’s temperature swings and daily family wear—nonporous, stain-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free.

• Other surface options include laminate, butcher block, natural stone, and specialty solid surfaces, though quartz is our primary recommendation for durability.
• Tile backsplash selection and installation, including subway tile, large-format tile, and mosaic accents.
• Focus on durable, easy-to-clean surfaces that serve busy families for years without constant upkeep.

Layout Improvements & Open-Concept Conversions

Opening a walled-off kitchen to the dining or living area is one of the most popular changes we handle across Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, St. Albert, Sherwood Park & More.

• Structural engineering involvement when altering load-bearing walls to create open-concept space.
• Better traffic flow, more natural light – especially valuable during short winter days – and improved entertaining space.
• Adding an island, peninsula, or breakfast bar to create a multifunctional cooking, dining, and gathering area.
• Custom renovations allow for complete layout changes and additions, which noticeably boost your home value.

Lighting, Electrical & Plumbing Upgrades

Modern kitchens need more than a single overhead light. We coordinate licensed trades to update wiring and plumbing to current Alberta code.

• Installing under-cabinet LED lighting improves both aesthetics and safety during food preparation.
• Pot lights, feature pendants over islands, and task lighting placed where you actually cook and prep.
• Dedicated circuits for modern appliances, built-in microwaves, and induction cooktops.
• Replacement of old plumbing fixtures, supply lines, and shut-offs to reduce the risk of leaks under new cabinets and flooring.

Flooring & Finishing Touches

Your kitchen floor needs to handle snow, salt, pet wear, and daily foot traffic without showing its age in a few years.

• Luxury vinyl plank (LVP), porcelain or ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood – all more stable and moisture-resistant than solid hardwood.
• Homeowners often update kitchen finishes with affordable materials like vinyl plank flooring or laminate countertops when renovating on a tighter budget.
• Painting walls and ceilings, new trim, interior doors, and drywall repairs to complete the finished look.
• Proper transitions and moisture barriers near exterior doors off the kitchen.

Kitchen Renovation Costs in the Greater Edmonton Area

Planning a kitchen renovation requires careful budgeting and design layout choices. Costs depend on the size of your kitchen, the scope of work, and the materials you choose. All figures below reflect typical ranges for projects across Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, St. Albert, Sherwood Park & More as of 2026.

Typical Cost Ranges for Local Kitchen Renovations

Average kitchen renovation costs in Edmonton range from $25,000 to $80,000, while a full kitchen renovation in Edmonton averages $70,000 to $80,000 for comprehensive projects. Here is a general breakdown:

• Basic updates: $15,000–$30,000. Covers cosmetic updates like replacing countertops, refacing or replacing cabinet doors in the same location, new lighting, a backsplash, hardware, and flooring. No layout or structural changes. In Edmonton, cosmetic updates like painting or replacing cabinets in the same spot do not require permits.
• Mid-range kitchen renovation: $25,000–$50,000. Full cabinet replacement with semi-custom cabinetry, engineered quartz countertops, new appliances, updated lighting, and layout tweaks. This is the most common range for standard family homes in subdivisions.
• High-end custom kitchen remodel: $60,000+. Custom cabinets built to exact dimensions, premium materials, significant layout changes or structural modifications, designer appliance packages, and high-end fixtures. These projects often reach $80,000–$100,000 or more depending on size and finishes. Custom renovations can take between eight to twelve weeks to complete.

Condo kitchens or very small spaces often fall toward the lower end. Large custom homes on regional acreages frequently land at the higher end. Budgeting 15–20% of your home’s value is a commonly recommended guideline for kitchen renovations.

Main Factors That Affect Your Kitchen Remodel Budget

• Cabinetry is the biggest cost driver: Cabinetry can account for up to 35% of renovation costs. Stock cabinets are the most affordable; semi-custom offers more style flexibility; full custom cabinetry gives complete control over design but has the highest price and longest lead time.
• Countertop choice makes a big difference: Laminate is budget-friendly; engineered quartz sits in the mid-to-premium range; natural stone and specialty surfaces are the most expensive and require more maintenance.
• Layout changes: Moving walls, relocating plumbing, or adding an island increase cost, time, complexity, and always require permits.
• Appliance package quality: Varies widely, from around $2,500 for basic models to $20,000+ for premium brands.
• Kitchen size: Linear feet of counters directly affect material and labour costs.
• Finishes: Premium hardware, upgraded lighting, and high-end plumbing fixtures all add to the final cost.

How Our Kitchen Renovation Process Works

Here is exactly what to expect from your first call to the moment you start using your new kitchen.

Step 1: In-Home Consultation & Design
Call us at 780-232-5824 to book a visit. We come to your home in Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, St. Albert, Sherwood Park & More to measure the space, discuss your needs, and set a target budget. Kitchen renovations typically involve the assessment of storage needs, workflow, and lighting requirements – and that’s exactly what we evaluate during this visit. We create a layout plan so you can visualize the finished kitchen before work begins.

Step 2: Detailed Quote, Permits & Scheduling
We prepare a written proposal with line-item pricing for labour and material categories so you understand exactly where your money goes. Once you approve the plan, we apply for all required permits with the local municipality – local general contractors often pull necessary permits on behalf of homeowners during renovations, and we always do. We set a clear start date and estimated timeline, and explain how we protect floors and manage dust throughout your house.

Step 3: Construction, Inspections & Communication
This phase covers demolition, rough-in work for plumbing and electrical, cabinet installation, countertops, and all finishes. We schedule inspections as required by the municipality and keep you updated on progress at every stage. Properly managing dust barriers and temporary heating is essential during winter renovations in Edmonton, and we take these steps seriously. Expect quality work, a clean site at the end of each day, and respect for your home throughout the project.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough & Warranty Support
We walk through every detail with you, handle any touch-ups, and confirm everything meets the standard we agreed on. Our workmanship warranty means you can contact us after the project if any issue comes up. Enjoy your dream kitchen, stress-test it with real cooking and daily life, and let us know if anything needs adjustment.

Local Climate Considerations for Edmonton Kitchen Renovations

Edmonton’s cold, dry winters and freeze-thaw cycles should influence every material choice in your kitchen. Choosing durable and climate-appropriate materials is recommended for Edmonton’s weather conditions – here’s what that means in practice.

Cabinet & Door Materials for Dry Alberta Winters

Solid wood cabinet doors can warp, crack, or develop joint gaps when indoor humidity drops well below 20% during winter heating season. MDF cabinet doors with quality painted or lacquered finishes are a stable, cost-effective choice that resists movement in dry air. Proper sealants, quality hinges, and soft-close hardware round out a cabinetry package built to last through Alberta’s seasonal extremes.

Countertops & Flooring Built for Everyday Alberta Living

Engineered quartz countertops are durable, non-porous, and ideal for busy families in Edmonton. They handle temperature changes better and require less maintenance than many natural stone options, which need regular sealing. For flooring, luxury vinyl plank, porcelain tile, and engineered hardwood all resist moisture and the grit that gets tracked in with snow and salt. Good mats, properly installed transitions, and moisture-resistant finishes near exterior doors off the kitchen are details that protect your investment.

Keep Utility Bills in Check: Ventilation, Humidity & Energy Efficiency

Tight winter homes need proper range hood ventilation to move moisture and cooking odours outside. When walls are open during a renovation, it’s the ideal time for upgrading insulation and sealing around windows and doors. Efficient LED lighting and Energy Star appliances help keep utility bills in check during Edmonton’s long, dark winters.

Kitchen Renovation Mistakes to Avoid

Avoiding common mistakes during renovating can save you money, time, and stress. Here are the ones we see most often:

• Starting without permits or a clear contract: Skipping permits for work that requires them can lead to fines, failed inspections, and serious problems at resale. Always have a signed contract before construction begins.
• Choosing materials that don’t suit Edmonton’s climate: Solid wood doors in very dry winters, porous countertops without sealing, or soft flooring that can’t handle grit and moisture – these choices cost more in the long run.
• Underestimating your budget: Hidden issues like subfloor rot, outdated wiring, or failing plumbing are common in older Edmonton homes. Always plan a contingency of 10–20%.
• Making poor layout decisions: Ignoring the work triangle between sink, stove, and fridge; not leaving enough counter space for cooking; or creating walkways that are too narrow all reduce daily functionality.
• Hiring based on lowest price alone: Check contractor reviews and past project examples. The lowest bid often means cut corners on materials, missing insurance, or no warranty on the work.

Areas We Serve for Kitchen Renovations

We focus on kitchen renovations and kitchen remodels across the greater Edmonton area, serving homeowners in a range of home styles from post-war bungalows to newer suburban builds.

• Edmonton: Terwillegar, Windermere, Summerside, Westmount, and older central neighbourhoods with character homes ready for a modern update. Edmonton’s renovation market peaks in spring and summer, so planning ahead helps secure your preferred timeline.
• Sherwood Park & More: Family homes in established areas and newer subdivisions – many with builder-grade kitchens ready for an upgrade.
• Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, & St. Albert: Growing suburban communities and infill homes where homeowners want a kitchen that matches the rest of their updated living space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Renovations

These are the real questions that often delay homeowners from starting their project. Here are direct answers.

How much does a typical kitchen renovation cost in Edmonton?

The kitchen renovation cost depends on size, scope, and materials. Typical ranges in 2026: Basic updates: $15,000–$30,000; Mid-range: $25,000–$50,000; High-end custom: $60,000+. A full kitchen renovation in Edmonton averages $70,000 to $80,000 for comprehensive projects with premium materials and layout changes. We provide a detailed quote after a site visit so you know your final cost before work begins.

How long does a kitchen remodel usually take?

Smaller cosmetic updates typically take 3–5 weeks on-site. Full-gut remodels with layout changes, custom cabinets, and structural work often run 6–10+ weeks. Design, material ordering, and permit approvals add lead time before on-site work begins – custom cabinetry alone can require 6–10 weeks of fabrication. We provide a project timeline before starting and update you if anything changes.

Can I live in my home during the kitchen renovation?

Most local homeowners stay in their house during a kitchen renovation, though there will be noise, dust, and limited kitchen use for part of the project. We help set up a temporary kitchen space when possible. For major structural work, there may be short periods when the kitchen area is fully closed off for safety.

Do you help with design and material selections?

Yes. We guide clients through layout options, cabinet style, countertop choices, flooring, lighting, and plumbing fixtures – with expert guidance on which materials perform best in Alberta’s climate. We provide sample boards and access to local suppliers so you can see and feel materials before committing.

Are permits required for a kitchen renovation in Edmonton?

Permits are typically required for changes to plumbing, electrical, or structure. In Edmonton, cosmetic renovations like painting or replacing cabinets in the same spot do not require permits. Modern Innovations Construction and Consulting handles the permit application process with the City of Edmonton or relevant municipality, ensuring your renovation is inspected and meets current code. This protects your safety, your insurance coverage, and your home value at resale.
