Kitchen Renovations in Toronto
renoWOW! has been renovating Toronto kitchens since 1993. Custom cabinetry, open-concept conversions and full gut rebuilds, with a fixed price before we start and a two-year warranty after we leave.
Kitchens Are Won on Layout and Lead Times
Every kitchen renoWOW! takes on across home renovation projects in Toronto comes down to two things long before anyone picks a backsplash. Does the layout suit the way you actually cook, and are the cabinets ordered early enough that the room is not sitting gutted waiting on them.
Finishes are the easy part. The hard part is deciding whether that wall can come out, what the panel can carry, and where the fridge door swings when two people are in the room. Kitchen design here is a structural question before it is a style one, which is why plenty of kitchen renovation contractors quote a layout they have not checked. We settle it on paper first, then order everything before demolition, so the build does not stall halfway through.
Every Kind of Kitchen We Build
Our kitchen renovation services cover the whole job. One crew handles demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, flooring and finishing, so nobody stands around waiting on another trade to show up.
Full Kitchen Remodels
Everything out to the studs, wiring and plumbing brought up to code, and the room rebuilt around a layout that works.
Custom Cabinetry
Built to your walls rather than to a catalogue, which matters in older Toronto houses where nothing is square. See our cabinet work.
Countertops & Backsplash
Quartz, granite and porcelain countertops, templated after the cabinets are set so the fit is right. Quartz or granite?
Open-Concept Conversions
Taking out the wall between the kitchen and living space, with the engineering and permit handled. How it works.
Kitchen Islands & Storage
A kitchen island with real working clearance, plus pantry, drawer and hardware systems that use the depth you already have.
Condo Kitchens
Galley and open-plan suite kitchens, with board approvals, elevator booking and stack access sorted first. Condo process.
What a Toronto Kitchen Actually Costs
Cabinetry is usually 40 to 50 percent of a kitchen budget, appliances and countertops take another large slice, and labour fills the rest. That is why a small kitchen and a large one can land closer together than you would expect, and why two kitchens of the same size can be $40,000 apart.
- Cosmetic refresh, doors and counters$15,000 – $30,000
- Standard kitchen, same layout$30,000 – $55,000
- Full gut with new layout$55,000 – $90,000
- Open-concept wall removalAdd $8,000 – $20,000
- High-end custom build$90,000 – $150,000+
- Condo kitchensAdd 10 – 20%
Older houses add cost once the walls open, usually knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring near the kitchen, a panel that cannot carry modern appliances, or a floor that has to be levelled before cabinets go in. We hold back 10 to 15 percent for that. More detail in our kitchen cost guide and custom versus semi-custom cabinets.

A kitchen plan is only worth the structure and services behind it. Before anything is drawn final we work out what the house can take, because finding out now is far cheaper than finding out after the cabinets are on order.
- Whether the wall is load-bearing and what beam the span needs
- Panel capacity for an induction range, wall oven and dishwasher
- Drain and vent runs, which decide whether the sink can move
- Floor level across the room, since cabinets need a flat plane

I hired Sam from RenoWOW for a full renovation of my 20 year-old builder kitchen and bathrooms and I absolutely LOVE the results! Sam was conscientious of my original budget and every time I asked for a change he detailed how much it would cost. There were no surprises along the way.
Very happy with our kitchen renovation. Having an older home makes everything more difficult but Sam and his crew were up to the task! I was particularly concerned with the floor level transitions which each previous contractor indicated a problem with. The newly installed floor is perfect.
This is the second major renovation that Sam and his team have completed for us and we couldn't be happier. They use many measures to keep your home clean and protected throughout the job and our neighbours even commented on the care being taken. Our kitchen is still in fantastic condition 6 years on.
Once again, the amazing crew from renoWOW has excelled! Following a beautiful kitchen reno, we invited them back to remodel a master bathroom and install beautiful new flooring on the second floor. We cannot say enough about the quality of the work and the thoughtfulness of their staff (Paul & J.J.)
We recently completed an extensive renovation with Reno Wow, including our kitchen and master bathroom now turned into our master spa. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy. The work is high quality and most importantly the whole project was delivered on time and on budget.
Great experience and high quality work end to end. During the estimating process they provided a high quality timely detailed estimate and consultation. The project was done on time and on budget with a very high degree of attention to detail.
