Kitchen Renovations in Orangeville

Cabinets are the easy part. The layout, the light, and the details are what you live with.

Orangeville homes

What kitchen renovations usually means in Orangeville

Orangeville mixes Victorian and Edwardian homes near Broadway with subdivisions from the eighties onward. Older homes here often have had several rounds of partial renovation, so a lot of our work is undoing something well-meant and doing it properly.

We are in the headwaters constantly, so Orangeville is a normal working day for us rather than a long-distance job with travel priced into it.

A kitchen renovation touches nearly every trade in the house. Plumbing, electrical, gas, flooring, drywall, tile, and cabinetry all have to land in the right order, and a delay in one pushes everything behind it.

What is included

Everything this job actually involves

Layout and design input

We work through the plan with you before demolition, including where the light, the outlets, and the traffic actually go.

Cabinetry and installation

Supply and install, or install cabinetry you have already chosen. Levelled, scribed, and shimmed so the doors line up years from now.

Countertops and backsplash

Quartz, tile, and the templating and coordination that goes with them.

Plumbing and electrical

Sink and appliance connections, new circuits, under-cabinet and pot lighting, all by licensed trades.

Flooring and trim

Subfloor correction, vinyl plank or hardwood, baseboard, casing, and the transitions between rooms.

Custom woodwork

Live-edge sills and shelves, floating shelving, range hood surrounds, and open shelving milled in our shop.

Our work

A century home kitchen in Guelph

We took this kitchen back to the studs. Behind the lath we found newspaper from the 1920s still stuffed in the walls, along with the wiring and plumbing you would expect in a house that age.

What went back in was a full rebuild: new subfloor, insulation, wiring, a vaulted ceiling with a skylight, sage shaker cabinets with brass pulls, quartz counters, and a live-edge sill under the window over the sink.

Orangeville questions

Straight answers, before you ask

Do you need a permit for kitchen renovations in Orangeville?

Permits are issued by the Town of Orangeville, and whether you need one depends on the scope. Structural changes, new plumbing, and new circuits almost always require one. We confirm the requirement for your address and handle the application and inspections as part of the job.

How far into Orangeville do you travel?

All of it, including Downtown Orangeville, Montgomery Village, Westside, Rolling Hills. Orangeville is inside our normal working area, so you are not paying for a special trip.

How long is a kitchen renovation?

A typical full kitchen runs six to ten weeks from demolition to finished trim, with cabinetry and countertop lead times driving most of the schedule. We order long-lead items before we start tearing out.

Can I stay in the house during the renovation?

Most people do. We set up dust protection and keep the work zone contained, but plan on a temporary kitchen somewhere else in the house for several weeks.

Do you supply the cabinets or do I?

Either works. We can supply and install, or install cabinetry you have already selected. If you are supplying, we will review the plan before you order so nothing arrives that does not fit.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation?

If you are only replacing cabinets and finishes, usually not. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, or removing a wall generally does require one, and we handle that.
