Kitchen renovation
Kitchen renovation is one of the most common home projects in Metro Vancouver, but it is also one of the easiest categories to misquote if the scope is still vague. Better preparation leads to better quote quality.
Start by defining whether this is a refresh or a rebuild
Replacing cabinet fronts and countertops is a very different scope from removing everything and rebuilding lighting, electrical, and layout from scratch.
- Will the layout stay the same?
- Are you removing all cabinets?
- Are electrical or lighting positions changing?
- Will flooring, backsplash, countertops, and sink all be replaced?
What contractors need in order to price properly
Kitchen contractors can usually issue an initial quote before a site visit, but only if the request already includes the basics.
- City and property type, such as Burnaby condo
- Approximate kitchen size
- Current-condition photos
- Whether permit or strata review may be needed
- Budget band and preferred start timing
Typical timeline expectations
Many Vancouver kitchen projects land in the four-to-six-week range, but the schedule depends heavily on custom cabinetry, countertop lead times, and building access rules.
