9. Free In-Home Quote
Every kitchen project starts with an in-home assessment — measurements, photo documentation, scope discussion, and a written estimate with material allowances. Free, takes about an hour, no obligation.
Why our floor is $25K and not $14K: Anyone quoting a "Vancouver kitchen reno from $14K" is either (a) an unlicensed contractor without WorkSafeBC, (b) hiding cost in change orders, or (c) using particleboard cabinets that fail in 5 years. $25K is what an honest mid-grade refresh actually costs in Vancouver in 2026 once you include permits, insurance, code-grade plumbing/electrical, and warranty.
