Common Questions

A complete mid-range kitchen renovation in Vancouver typically costs between $35,000 and $75,000. This generally includes semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops, and upgraded appliances without major structural or layout changes.

Most kitchen remodels in Vancouver cost between $200 and $450 per square foot. High-end custom kitchens with luxury finishes, professional-grade appliances, and structural changes can easily exceed $500 per square foot.

Cabinetry is the largest expense, typically consuming 30% to 40% of your total budget. In 2026, expect to pay $15,000 to $30,000 for semi-custom cabinets, while fully custom millwork can exceed $40,000.

Condo renovations often face additional logistical costs due to strata regulations, elevator bookings, and parking constraints. A basic condo kitchen refresh typically starts around $18,000 to $30,000, which is slightly higher than a comparable single-family home refresh.
