Tell us what you want to change and roughly what you have in mind. A verified kitchen professional who covers your postal code will get in touch to talk through the scope, the timing and what to compare, before you commit to a project this size.
A verified professional will get in touch.
Knowing which level you are at helps a firm tell you what is realistic.
New doors, handles, paint, lighting or a new backsplash, with the layout unchanged.
Replacing the cabinets and countertops, often the biggest cost and the biggest visual change.
New stove, range hood and lighting, which can need electrical or gas work.
New flooring, tile and wall repairs around the new kitchen.
Everything replaced, usually with several trades such as plumbing and electrical.
Moving walls, plumbing or gas. This is the most involved work and often needs a permit.
The make, range and finish of each, so you can compare like with like.
Who installs what, and who is responsible for any fault.
Who does them, whether they are licensed, and what is included.
Taking out the old kitchen and taking it away.
Wall repairs, painting and flooring after the installation.
Who arranges any permit and inspection, and how extra work is priced.
Ask for the licence number, proof of insurance and a workers' compensation clearance, and check them yourself.
The scope, the price, the schedule and the products, in writing.
And how payments and holdbacks are staged.
Cabinets and appliances can take weeks, which sets the timeline.
Ask how extra work is priced and approved, before it is done.
Ask what is covered, for how long, and how the site is protected and left.
We'd rather connect you with the right provider once than flood your inbox with a dozen you'll never call back.
Replacing doors and countertops and rebuilding the whole room are very different projects. You talk through the scope before anyone prices it.
You hear what to expect in a proper quote, so you can compare firms fairly.
You can ask questions and compare, and nobody pushes you to decide on the spot.
It varies widely with the size of the room, how much you change, the cabinets, countertops and appliances you choose, and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written, itemized quote that shows what is included.
Supply only means you buy the cabinets and arrange installation yourself. Supply and install means one firm does both. Ask who is responsible if something doesn't fit or arrives damaged.
It depends on the scope and on how long cabinets and appliances take to arrive, which can be weeks or months. Ask for a written schedule and what could change it.
Electrical, gas and plumbing work must be done by tradespeople with the right licence in your province, and the work often needs a permit and an inspection. Ask who does each part and for their licence number, and check it with the provincial regulator.
Some work, such as moving walls, plumbing or gas lines, or altering the structure, needs a permit from your municipality. Ask the firm what applies and who arranges it. Don't let anyone remove a wall without checking. Unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell or claim on insurance.
Ask how much is due and when, and agree payments tied to progress rather than a large amount upfront. Ask how your deposit is protected if the firm goes out of business. Provincial rules limit deposits on some home renovation contracts.
In many provinces, the construction or builders' lien laws let unpaid workers or suppliers put a lien on your home, and you are often expected to hold back a share of the contract price until a set period after the work is finished. Ask your contractor how liens and holdbacks work in your province, and get paid-in-full documents.
Older homes can hide surprises, such as outdated wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, vermiculite insulation, asbestos or damp. Ask how extra work is priced and approved, and agree any change in writing before it happens.
Usually, but you may have no kitchen for a while. Ask how the firm will manage dust, water and power shut-offs, and what you should arrange in the meantime.
Raise it with the firm first, in writing. If it isn't resolved, your provincial consumer protection office can explain your options, and the licensing body can look into licensed trades.
What you want to change, a rough budget and timeline, photos or measurements of the room, and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
