Your project
Is it new construction or a renovation?
In new construction, there is nothing to remove.
The price of a kitchen renovation comes first from the cabinets and countertop, then from everything that gets moved. The calculator prices cabinets per linear foot, the countertop, backsplash, flooring, plumbing and electrical, at Quebec rates.
What changes the price of a kitchen renovation
- Cabinets
- Melamine, thermofoil, polyester or wood: cabinets are often half the budget, and the price follows the number of linear feet.
- Countertop
- Laminate costs the least; quartz and granite cost several times more, per square foot installed.
- Island
- An island adds cabinets, countertop, and often an electrical outlet or plumbing.
- Moving the sink or stove
- A new layout that moves the plumbing or the 240 V circuit brings in a plumber and an electrician.
- Flooring and backsplash
- Ceramic, wood or vinyl on the floor; ceramic, glass or stone on the wall: each choice has its price.
What the estimate includes
- Demolition of the old kitchen and the container
- The chosen cabinets, countertop, backsplash and flooring
- Plumbing and electrical, by licensed tradespeople
- Installation by a cabinetmaker or carpenter at the CCQ rate
- Mobilization and a contractor’s normal margin

This is an estimate, not a quote: the calculator redoes it for your home.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Two to six weeks of work, depending on scope, plus the cabinet manufacturing lead time, which runs four to twelve weeks.
Do I need a permit to renovate a kitchen?
Not to change the cabinets and countertop. One is often needed if you move a wall, a window or the plumbing. Check with your city.
Refresh or redo?
Painting the cabinets and changing the countertop and backsplash costs a fraction of a new kitchen, if the cabinet boxes are sound.
Is this a firm price?
No. It is an estimate calculated for your kitchen, made to set a budget and compare quotes. Only a contractor who has seen the premises can sign a price.
