  • Custom cabinetry

  • Appliance hookup
  • Necessary finishing touches (painting)


We avoid costly mistakes and ensure your galley meets all building codes and safety regulations. Plus, we work within your budget while considering your personal style. 


Invest in Your Custom Kitchen Design

Kitchens are the heart of the home. That's why we offer custom design to realize your ideas and craft a space that perfectly reflects your style and needs.



While a customized kitchen renovation may cost more than standard or semi-custom options, we make sure to deliver quality results—worthy of your investment.

Our “Ergonomic Work Triangle” Approach 


Our custom designs prioritize the ergonomic work triangle, ensuring smooth movement between your sink, cooktop, and refrigerator. We analyze your workflow to create an optimized room layout that keeps these key areas within an ideal distance:


  • Sink to Cooktop: 4 feet (minimum) – 8 feet (maximum)
  • Sink to Refrigerator: 4 feet (minimum) – 9 feet (maximum)
  • Cooktop to Refrigerator: 4 feet (minimum) – 8 feet (maximum)


We Maximize Storage Solutions


Tired of digging for that lost spatula in the back of a deep cabinet? Our custom cabinetry maximizes storage with features that put everything at your fingertips.


  • Replace those hard-to-reach shelves with deep pull-out drawers to increase usable space
  • Opt for tall pantry custom cabinets with adjustable shelves to keep everything organized
  • Try full-height pull-outs to grab what you need easily
  • Keep your quartz countertops clutter-free with integrated appliance garages. These hidden gems hide away small appliances like toasters and coffee makers, while sleek roll-up doors maintain a clean, modern aesthetic.


We Consider Accessibility Features


We design custom kitchens that are accessible and user-friendly so you and your family can participate in the joy of cooking. Here's how:


  • For individuals with mobility limitations, we can lower quartz countertops to an accessible height (28-34 inches).
  • We incorporate wider cabinet doors (32 inches minimum), pull-out under-sink shelves, and easy-grip cabinet hardware for enhanced accessibility.


Refacing or Replacing Custom Cabinets? 

The median cost of a new kitchen cabinet refacing project is approximately $6,200, whereas a full replacement averages around $20,000. In North Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, the premium pricing comes with skilled labour and high-quality products for renovation.

Countertop Installation

Choosing a countertop involves aesthetics, durability, and maintenance. Here are popular options:

  • Granite is beautiful and durable but requires sealing.
  • Quartz is scratch and stain-resistant and may require professional seams.
  • Acrylic is seamless and stain-resistant but prone to scratches and heat.
  • Laminate is budget-friendly, has moderate durability, susceptible to water & heat damage.



Here’s our usual countertop installation project timeline in Vancouver, BC:

  • Planning (1-2 weeks): Choose your material, style, and colour.
  • Measuring & Templating (1-2 days): Get precise measurements for fabrication.
  • Fabrication (1-2 weeks): Create new countertops (time varies by material and complexity).
  • Tear-Out & Prep (1-2 days): Remove old tops and level new cabinets and prep for installation.
  • Installation (1-2 days): Carefully place and secure new countertops.
  • Finishing Touches (1-2 days): Add caulking, grouting, or other final details.


Total Time is 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project details.

Backsplash and Tile Work

The backsplash has a dual purpose in kitchens: it protects walls from moisture, grease, and splatters while elevating your space's curb appeal. Our kitchen renovation services include helping you choose the perfect backsplash tile to enhance your kitchen.



  • Ceramic and porcelain tiles: Provide timeless elegance at an affordable price.
  • Stunning glass backsplash: Offers a beautiful, light-reflecting aesthetic.
  • Natural stone backsplashes: Add luxury and exclusivity to spaces. 


For optimal function and style:

  1. We prepare the surface for proper tile adhesion.
  2. We help you choose a layout that complements your design and tiles.
  3. We use epoxy grout for superior stain resistance and durability.
  4. We seal porous tiles for easier maintenance.


Island or Peninsula Addition


Islands and peninsulas expand workspace, storage, and seating in kitchens. Here's how we plan for one:



  • Our renovation experts clearance for movement and consider the "work triangle" for efficient workflow.
  • We also integrate appliances, add new cabinets, incorporate seating with proper counter height, and plan for electrical outlets.

Our Lighting Solutions


Upgrade your modern kitchen with our comprehensive lighting solutions. We offer options to ensure you have the perfect light for every task and occasion.


  • Under-Cabinet Lights

    Install under-cabinet LED strips to provide bright task lighting directly on your countertops. We recommend choosing dimmable options (500-750 lux) to create the perfect level of light for any activity.


  • Pendant Lights

    Add a bit of elegance while brightening up your island or sink area. Our selection allows you to choose between task lighting by hanging them 30-36 inches high or a more ambient feel with a higher placement.


  • Recessed Lighting

    Take complete command of your kitchen's atmosphere with recessed lighting. Downlights provide excellent illumination, while wall washers beautifully showcase your backsplash. We use adjustable LEDs and dimmers for the ultimate flexibility in creating your ideal ambiance.

New Flooring

Conquer tough spills and everyday traffic with a wide variety of kitchen flooring options. Here's what to consider:

Material Selection

  • For a classic choice, opt for a ceramic tile for superior durability, water resistance, and a vast array of colours, patterns, and finishes.
  • For denser and less porous tile, go for porcelain for greater durability and moisture resistance.
  • Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) offers the look of wood or stone at a fraction of the cost. High-quality LVT is durable, water-resistant, and relatively easy to clean and maintain.
  • Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) mimic the appearance of wood floorboards and offer excellent durability, water resistance, and easy maintenance.
  • For a unique luxury aesthetic, natural stone like granite or slate provides superior durability and a timeless appeal.



No matter your preference, our renovation team will ensure proper subfloor preparation, slip resistance, and effective moisture management.
