Quick answers to the things homeowners ask before starting.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Vancouver?
It depends on the scope and materials. A cosmetic refresh might run $6,000-$10,000, while a full gut renovation with custom cabinets and quartz counters can be $25,000-$50,000 or more. RenoFiz gives a scoped ballpark based on your kitchen's size, layout, and selections — not a generic range.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Vancouver?
Typically yes for electrical and plumbing work — adding GFCI outlets, moving plumbing lines, or installing new circuits may require permits. Cosmetic changes like painting and replacing countertops with the same footprint usually don't. Check with your local municipality (for Vancouver addresses, the City of Vancouver); RenoFiz flags likely permit needs for contractor confirmation.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Vancouver?
A cosmetic refresh can take 1-2 weeks. A full renovation with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances typically takes 8-14 weeks — most of that is cabinet lead time (2-4 weeks for stock, up to 8-12 weeks for custom) plus countertop fabrication, with another 2-4 weeks added if you're moving plumbing or electrical and need a permit. Your RenoFiz estimate includes a realistic timeline based on scope.
What affects kitchen renovation costs the most?
Cabinetry is the biggest cost driver — stock cabinets are budget-friendly, semi-custom costs more, and custom runs highest. Countertop material, appliance quality, and whether you're moving walls or plumbing all significantly impact the total.
Can I reuse my existing appliances in a kitchen renovation?
Yes — owner-supplied appliances can lower the contractor-supplied material cost. RenoFiz accounts for this in the estimate: you supply the items, we scope installation and connections.
Does RenoFiz help with kitchen design and layout?
RenoFiz works with you to understand your layout goals — whether you want to keep the existing footprint or reconfigure. The estimate includes scope for layout changes and flags structural or plumbing implications for professional confirmation.
