Common Questions

A standard 10x10 kitchen renovation in Toronto typically costs between $19,000 and $30,000 for a mid-range update, though custom cabinetry can push this above $45,000.

In 2026, semi-custom cabinets start at approximately $500 per linear foot, while fully custom painted MDF or wood cabinets range from $650 to $1,200 per linear foot.

Homeowners can expect a return on investment (ROI) of 75% to 100% on kitchen renovations, significantly boosting property resale value in competitive neighborhoods like Leslieville or The Beaches.

Quartz countertops currently range from $80 to $150 per square foot, including installation, depending on the slab's grade and edge complexity.

Permits are required if you are changing the plumbing, electrical, or structural layout (e.g., removing a wall). Basic cosmetic updates like cabinet refacing do not require a permit, which typically costs between $300 and $2,500.
