Kitchen renovations can vary greatly in cost and duration depending on how involved the renovation is and what materials are used.
When appliance and sink locations remain, less time is required to renovate as opposed to relocating all the pipes and wires to new locations. Structural changes and electrical upgrades may be necessary and will certainly increase the cost and length of time for the renovation. With the help of one of our designers you can easier determine the time line and budget for the job. Bring your ideas and plans in to our showroom and we will help you design the kitchen of your dreams.

What counter top materials are available and what's best for my kitchen?

Today we have many different types of counter tops available to us. Most common and used for decades, laminate tops come in hundred's of colours and several textures. Laminate counters are also the lest expensive.
Meganite, a Canadian version of Corion is a solid surface material that wears very well and can be shaped in a variety ways. It is available in over two dozen colours with a fairly matte finish.
Real granite's and marble's are the most natural and often most beautiful counter top materials available. Hundred's of colours, and about a half dozen different finishes insure yours will be one of a kind. As the natural fissure lines and colours can vary greatly from slab to slab it is imperative that you "tag" your specific slab when selecting the counter top for your kitchen. Some types of natural tops require sealing more often than others so be sure to inquire about maintenance once you have made your selection.
Quartz counter tops like Cambria and Ceaserstone are becoming increasing popular in recent years. This material has the best properties of all counter tops. Made of crushed quartz they are the hardest and least porous of all materials and required no sealing or maintenance. Available in more colours than ever before, they make for the most durable, and hygienic kitchen counter tops on the market. As quartz is man-made, there is no colour variation so slab selection is not required. These tops are always made with a high gloss finish and are generally considered the most expensive counter top option.
