Types Of Kitchen Renovations
There are three types.
- Cosmetic
- Remove and reinstall
- Custom
Some kitchen remodels fall within one of these categories. Other renovations fall within the two.
Cosmetic Kitchen Renovations
A cosmetic kitchen remodeling is an easy way to replace easily damaged items. This might be a new countertop and backsplash, new tiled backsplash, appliances, new hardware for drawer fronts and doors, or a fresh coat of paint.
You would typically do a cosmetic kitchen reno if you were selling your house and have only a few things to improve before you put it on the market. You may also consider a cosmetic renovation if your house is new and you don’t like the color of the countertops or paint. If you’re looking to make a small change to your kitchen without spending a lot, you might consider a cosmetic reno. We have many clients who want to move in three to five years. They need a more attractive kitchen, but they can’t afford all the new cupboards.

This is a hard question because it all depends upon what you intend to do in your mini remodel. If you’re only painting the kitchen, it is possible to pick your paint colour and hire your favorite painter. You could probably complete the job in one day. Even if you are a seasoned DIY home owner, this project could be done in one day.
For a tile backsplash or countertop replacement, allow a little more time. You should allow 1-4 weeks for the quotation, design and selection of the products. Next, allow another 1-4 weeks to order the materials and wait for them to arrive. Depending on how much work you have planned, …. can take between 2 and 4 weeks to complete.
How much does a Cosmetic Kitchen Renovation Cost?
There are many options available depending on what work you want to do. You can spend as little as $300-$500 on a new coat of paint, or as high as $30,000 on a quartz countertop and plumbing items. However, a cosmetic renovation will not automatically result in a lower or higher price. It is possible to still spend a lot on cosmetic upgrades. Remember why you’re renovating. The value of the renovation should be proportional to what you get out of it (eg. years of pleasure, greater value, higher selling price, etc.). While renovating, never lose sight your WHY.
Remove and re-install kitchen renovations
This is the most advanced type of cosmetic renovation. This type of reno involves taking items and placing them back in the exact same spot. This type of kitchen renovation involves removing the kitchen cabinets and reinstalling them in the exact same location. This means your stove, fridge, and sink will all remain the same and your kitchen’s layout won’t change.

For the lowest end of this budget, you can expect to budget $15,000-$20,000. This will buy you nice, basic cabinets with hardware and a basic laminate counter. You can keep your existing flooring and appliances. Upgraded cabinets, stone countertops, new backsplashes, plumbing items, flooring, and new appliances can be purchased at the opposite end of the spectrum. This could cost you up to $50,000. Your reno could fall between these extremes depending on which choices you make.

Before starting any demolition, you should consult with an Architectural Technologist. Do not take your contractor’s word.
