Our 4-Step West Vancouver Kitchen Renovation Process
01 Design Consultation
We review your goals, style preferences, storage needs, and functional pain points. Then we measure, confirm constraints, and recommend layout improvements that reduce rework and control costs.
02 Scope, Pricing & Timeline
You receive a clear scope of work, material allowances (or fixed selections), and an itemized quote. We confirm a realistic timeline based on lead times and required inspections.
03 Procurement & Pre-Build Planning
We order long-lead items, coordinate trades, confirm strata requirements (if applicable), and lock the sequence so your renovation stays efficient once work begins.
04 Construction + Inspections + Handover
We execute demolition, rough-ins, cabinetry, counters, finishes, and punch list with clean jobsite standards and the right inspections at the right stages — then complete a final walkthrough and handover.
West Vancouver Kitchen Renovation Timeline
Phase 1: Design & Scope (1–3 weeks)
Finalize layout, cabinet plan, lighting plan, and finish selections. Confirm which changes trigger permits (electrical, plumbing, structural, gas, ventilation).
Phase 2: Permits + Procurement (2–8+ weeks, scope-dependent)
QUAY coordinates permit requirements and orders cabinetry, counters, fixtures, and specialty items. (Lead times vary — this phase is where timelines are won or lost.)
Phase 3: Construction (2–6+ weeks, depending on complexity)
Demolition → rough-ins → drywall → cabinetry → counters → backsplash → flooring → fixtures → finishing → inspection → punch list.
Phase 4: Final Walkthrough & Close-Out (1–3 days)
Deficiency items, final clean, documentation, and handover.

Kitchen Renovation FAQs for West Vancouver Homeowners
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in West Vancouver?
Most projects fall into three tiers: minor updates ($25k–$45k), mid-range renovations ($45k–$85k), and high-end remodels ($85k–$150k+). Your final price depends on layout changes, cabinetry scope, appliance packages, and finish level. We provide itemized pricing after the consultation.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Timelines depend on design/procurement and whether permits are required. Construction commonly takes 2–6+ weeks, while full timelines can extend with custom cabinetry lead times. We confirm timeline once scope and selections are finalized.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Usually yes. We isolate the workspace, manage dust, and keep the site organized, but you should expect limited kitchen use during critical phases. We’ll help you plan a temporary kitchen setup.
What’s the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel?
Cabinetry and labor are typically the biggest costs, followed by countertops and appliances. Structural changes and relocating plumbing/electrical can also increase cost quickly.
Is $10,000 enough for a kitchen renovation?
In most cases, $10k is only enough for very limited cosmetic updates (paint, hardware, minor fixture changes). Full remodels with cabinetry and counters typically start higher due to labor and material costs.
Do I need permits for a kitchen renovation in West Vancouver?
Sometimes. Electrical/plumbing/gas, ventilation changes, and structural work often require permits and inspections. We confirm requirements during planning and coordinate the process when needed.
How can I control kitchen renovation costs?
Keep the existing layout where possible, choose durable mid-range finishes, and focus budget on cabinetry, lighting, and counters for the biggest impact. Itemized pricing makes trade-offs easy.
