Kitchen renovations in Burnaby: quick answers
Short answers to the questions we hear most.
- How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Burnaby?
- Many complete kitchen renovations with QUAY cost about $40,000 to $80,000 or more. Larger, premium and highly customized kitchens can exceed $100,000. Your price depends on size, cabinetry, appliances and layout changes. See our kitchen renovation cost guide.
- Can I renovate my kitchen for $30,000?
- Usually not for a complete kitchen, but a partial update can fit that budget. Our Moodyville partial kitchen (new lower cabinet fronts, white quartz, a slab backsplash and new lighting) came in at $24,000–$28,000 and took 10 days on site.
- Can you renovate a kitchen for $10,000?
- Not as a complete renovation. Complete kitchens with QUAY commonly begin around $40,000, so a $10,000 budget usually covers smaller updates rather than new cabinets, counters and plumbing or electrical work.
- How long does a kitchen renovation take?
- Most standard kitchens take about 15 working days on site. That clock starts once the design, materials and cabinets are ready.
- Do kitchen renovations in Burnaby require permits?
- Permit requirements depend on the scope. Structural changes and certain plumbing or electrical work may require permits, inspections or professional documentation.
- How is it priced?
- You get a detailed, fixed-price proposal before construction starts. Completed work is backed by our 12-month (365-day) workmanship warranty.
- Can I see recent kitchen projects?
- Yes. Browse our kitchen renovation projects with real budgets and schedules, or see our main Vancouver kitchen renovations page.
- What is a reasonable budget for a kitchen renovation?
- For a complete kitchen with QUAY, plan on about $40,000–$80,000+. A partial update costs less: our Moodyville kitchen in North Vancouver came in at about $24,000–$28,000 and took 10 days. See the kitchen cost guide.
- Who should I hire for a kitchen renovation in Burnaby?
- QUAY Construction is a Vancouver design-build renovation company at 928 Homer St that works across Burnaby. One team handles the design, permits and construction of kitchen renovations, with a fixed-price proposal before work starts and a 365-day workmanship warranty.

A kitchen is not cabinetry. It is a complete construction system.
The strongest kitchen renovations solve layout, storage, workflow, lighting and construction together. Renovating an older home on the hill? See our renovations in Capitol Hill, Burnaby.
Cabinetry needs to align with appliances. Plumbing needs to align with sinks and dishwashers. Electrical work needs to support appliances, outlets and lighting. Flooring, countertops and backsplash need to meet cleanly.
That is why QUAY approaches every kitchen renovation in Burnaby as a complete construction project rather than a collection of disconnected upgrades.
Reconsider the relationship between cooking, prep, storage and adjacent living areas.
Pantries, drawers, tall cabinets and custom organizers can make the kitchen dramatically more functional.
Recessed, pendant and under-cabinet lighting can support both practical use and atmosphere.
Countertops, backsplash, flooring, cabinetry and trim should meet cleanly throughout the space.
Everything required to rebuild the kitchen properly.

Storage should disappear into the architecture.
Cabinetry determines much of how a renovated kitchen functions every day.
Good cabinet planning goes beyond doors and colours. Drawer locations, pantry access, tray storage, appliance integration and countertop work zones all affect how efficiently the kitchen operates.
Deep drawers can improve access to cookware, dishes and everyday kitchen items.
Tall pantry cabinets can provide significant storage without consuming additional floor area.
Panel-ready and built-in appliances can be coordinated directly into the cabinetry package.
Tray dividers, spice storage, waste pullouts and organizers can support daily use.
The island can become the centre of the entire renovation.
Add useful preparation area.
A well-proportioned island can improve prep space, circulation and everyday usability.
Gain drawers and cabinetry.
Island storage can reduce pressure on perimeter cabinets and make key items easier to access.
Connect cooking and living.
Counter seating can create an informal gathering area without requiring a separate table.
Use the countertop as a feature.
Quartz and natural stone can create waterfall edges, full-height backsplashes and strong visual continuity.
The finishes are visible. The coordination behind them matters more.
Plumbing, electrical work, framing and substrate preparation all need to be completed correctly before the finished kitchen is installed.
Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring and other components are removed according to the renovation scope.
Wall changes, bulkheads, blocking and framing adjustments are completed before rough-ins and finishes.
Water, drainage and appliance connections are located to suit the approved kitchen layout.
Appliance circuits, outlets, switches, recessed lighting, pendants and under-cabinet lighting are coordinated.
Drywall, floor levelling and surface preparation create the base for cabinetry, flooring and backsplash.
Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, fixtures, appliances and final finishes are installed in sequence.
