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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
