Kitchen Renovation Toronto
The kitchen sets the tone for the entire home. It's where the layout matters most, where material choices show up every day, and where a renovation delivers the clearest return on investment.
Introduction
Homewrap is a design-build general contractor serving Toronto and the GTA. We handle kitchen renovations from concept through construction, with design, permits, and all trades managed under one roof.
Many of the kitchens we build involve structural work, like removing load-bearing walls to create an open-concept layout, which requires engineering and permits. Having that capability in-house means the project moves faster and the structural work is done right.
What Our Kitchen Renovations Include
Opening up a closed-off kitchen to the dining and living areas is the most requested change we see. It often involves removing a load-bearing wall, installing a structural beam, and coordinating with engineering for the correct sizing and connections.
Cabinetry is typically the largest single line item in a kitchen renovation, often accounting for 30 to 40% of the total budget. We work with quality suppliers to deliver cabinetry that's built to last and designed around how you actually use the space.
Quartz, granite, marble, butcher block, or porcelain slab. Your countertop selection defines the look and feel of the kitchen as much as any other element. We help you choose a material that works with your design and your budget.
Relocating a sink, adding a pot filler over the range, running a gas line to a new cooktop, upgrading the electrical panel, or adding dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances. We coordinate all mechanical trades and manage every required inspection.
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, porcelain tile, or engineered wood. Flooring needs to work with the kitchen's moisture levels and traffic patterns. Lighting, hardware, and trim are selected to tie the whole space together.
Types of Kitchen Renovations
A complete transformation: new layout, new cabinetry, new countertops, updated plumbing and electrical, and fresh finishes throughout. The most comprehensive approach to a kitchen renovation.
Removing the wall between the kitchen and the living or dining area to create a single, connected space. This typically involves a load-bearing wall assessment, structural engineering, and a steel or LVL beam installation.
Many of our kitchen renovations happen alongside main floor, whole-home, or addition projects. When the kitchen is part of a larger scope, we coordinate the full sequence to minimize disruption and keep the project on track.
Adding an island, moving from a galley layout to an L-shape or U-shape, or repositioning appliances to improve workflow. These changes can require plumbing, electrical, and structural work depending on the extent of the reconfiguration.
Kitchen Renovation Cost in Toronto
Kitchen renovation costs in Toronto vary based on the size of the space, the scope of work, and the materials and finishes you choose. Here's what homeowners are typically looking at in 2026.
A cosmetic refresh (new countertops, refaced cabinets, updated backsplash, and fresh paint) generally runs $10,000 to $25,000. A mid-range renovation with new cabinetry, countertops, updated plumbing and electrical, and quality appliances typically falls between $25,000 and $50,000. A high-end kitchen with custom cabinetry, premium stone countertops, structural changes, and luxury appliances can exceed $50,000 to $100,000+.
Cabinetry alone can account for 30 to 40% of the total budget. Countertops, appliances, and labour each carry significant weight in the total cost. We recommend a 10 to 15% contingency, especially in homes built before the 1980s.
How We Manage Your Kitchen Renovation
A kitchen renovation touches structure, plumbing, electrical, gas, and finishes, often all at once. Getting the sequence right is what keeps the project on schedule.
We assess your existing kitchen, discuss how you use the space, and talk through your priorities for layout, materials, and budget. You get an honest take on what's achievable before any design work begins.
Our team designs the new layout and helps you select cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures, and finishes. You approve the full plan before construction begins.
If your renovation involves structural changes, plumbing relocation, gas line work, or electrical upgrades, we prepare and submit the full permit application and manage the review process.
Demolition, structural work, rough-ins, cabinetry installation, countertop templating and install, electrical, plumbing, tile, and all finishing work. A project lead manages every trade and keeps you updated throughout.
We review the finished kitchen with you in detail. Everything is tested, cleaned, and backed by warranty coverage.
