Renovating our ground level kitchen. Sahj and his worker came in last Sat to do floor prep & leveling and then returned on Monday for installation, vinyl plank glue down. Work was outstanding & quick!!
★★★★★
Saj and his team exceeded my expectations. I was not sure what to expect when we started the project. Everything was completed within budget and even early!
★★★★★
Recently had laminate flooring installed by Reimagine Construction & Renovation, I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the process was seamless.

What North Vancouver Kitchen Renovations Cost Today
Installed prices for North Shore kitchens in 2026. Cabinetry is usually 35–45% of the total, and slope access and older services are why North Shore kitchens run a little above Vancouver's.
| Kitchen job | Price range | On-site time |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet painting or refinishing | $5,000–$9,500 | 3–5 days |
| Cabinet refacing: new doors and fronts | $8,000–$17,000 | 4–7 days |
| Quartz countertops and backsplash | $4,500–$11,000 | 1–2 weeks |
| Condo or galley kitchen, full renovation | $25,000–$48,000 | 4–6 weeks |
| Full renovation, detached home | $38,000–$85,000 | 5–8 weeks |
| Custom or luxury kitchen | $90,000–$220,000 | 8–14 weeks |
Removing a load-bearing wall adds roughly $10,000–$28,000. Appliances are priced separately.

Permits & surprises
North Vancouver Kitchen Permits and Common Surprises
Most kitchen surprises on the North Shore are predictable. Here is what we check before we quote.
CNV or DNV permits
A like-for-like kitchen needs no building permit. Moving plumbing, adding circuits or removing a wall does, filed with the City or the District depending on your address.
Poly-B and small panels
Homes built roughly 1978–1995 often have Poly-B supply lines, and many North Shore panels are too small for induction. We test and price both at the measure.
Condo rules on Lonsdale
Strata alteration agreements, elevator bookings and weekday hours shape condo kitchens. Approval usually takes two to six weeks, in parallel with cabinet production.

Kitchen questions
Answers for North Vancouver Kitchen Planners
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in North Vancouver?
Most full kitchen renovations in North Vancouver cost $38,000 to $85,000 in 2026. Condo kitchens run $25,000 to $48,000 and custom kitchens start around $90,000.
How much does a condo kitchen renovation cost on Lonsdale?
Typically $25,000 to $48,000, with two to six weeks for strata approval before four to six weeks on site.
Do I need a permit for my kitchen?
Not for a like-for-like replacement. Moving plumbing, adding circuits or removing a wall needs a permit from the City or District of North Vancouver.
How long will I be without a kitchen?
Usually four to six weeks. We set up a temporary kitchen with the fridge, a microwave and a counter out of the construction zone.
What does a custom kitchen include?
Custom cabinetry built to the room, integrated appliances, stone or porcelain slab surfaces, a ducted hood and layered lighting, often with structural changes for an island or sightlines.
Should I reface or replace my cabinets?
Reface if the boxes are solid and the layout works; replace if the boxes are swollen or you want to change the layout or add deep drawers.
