The kitchen is only one room.
The project touches everything.
Kitchen renovations often involve far more than cabinets and countertops. Plumbing, electrical capacity, ventilation, flooring, lighting, appliance requirements and structural conditions must all work together. For compact spaces, see our small kitchen renovations in Vancouver.
QUAY plans those decisions before construction so the finished kitchen feels cohesive and the renovation remains organized from start to finish.

Discuss your project01 How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Vancouver? ↓
Many complete Vancouver kitchen renovations fall between approximately $40,000 and $80,000 or more. The final investment depends on layout changes, cabinetry, appliances, countertops, plumbing, electrical work, flooring and the level of custom detailing.
02 How long does a kitchen renovation take? ↓
Many standard kitchen renovations require approximately 15 working days on site once the design, materials and cabinetry are ready. Larger structural or highly customized projects may require more time.
03 Does QUAY provide kitchen design services? ↓
Yes. QUAY can coordinate layouts, cabinetry, materials, fixtures, lighting, appliances and other selections as part of a complete design-build renovation.
04 Can QUAY renovate kitchens in condos and strata buildings? ↓
Yes. Condo kitchen renovations are planned around strata requirements, work-hour restrictions, elevator bookings, common-area protection, delivery access and building-specific rules.
05 Will my kitchen renovation require a permit? ↓
Permit requirements depend on the scope. Structural changes, significant plumbing or electrical work, gas work and certain building conditions may require permits, inspections or consultant documentation.
06 Can I remain in my home during the renovation? ↓
In many cases, yes. The kitchen will be unavailable during construction, so homeowners should plan a temporary food-preparation setup and account for noise, dust and trade access.
07 What is the difference between kitchen renovation and kitchen remodeling? ↓
Kitchen renovation usually means updating finishes and surfaces, while kitchen remodeling typically involves changing the layout, structure or overall function of the space. Many homeowners use the terms interchangeably, but remodeling is usually the broader scope. QUAY handles both.
