Burlington Kitchen Renovations

Half Houses, Half Everything Else

Only about half of Burlington's homes are detached houses, 50.3% in the 2021 census. Row houses make up another 18.8%, apartments in buildings of five or more storeys 17.5%, and nearly a quarter of all homes, 24.1%, are condominiums. A Burlington kitchen renovation is as likely to happen under a condo corporation's rules as in a detached house.

The houses themselves lean older. A third of Burlington's dwellings, 33.5%, were built between 1961 and 1980, and their kitchens tend to be enclosed, with limited counter and dated wiring. The City's rule is broad: all construction projects need a permit except in specific cases. Replacing plumbing fixtures of the same type in the same location is one exception; moving a sink is not on that list. Opening one of these kitchens to the family room usually means an engineered beam, drawings and a permit, which we arrange.

Water is the easy part. Halton Region's 2025 averages put Burlington's lake-based supply at 124 mg/L, or 8.7 grains per gallon, the figure the Region lists for dishwasher settings. We program new dishwashers to that number at installation. Homes in the old villages, Nelson, Appleby, Kilbride and Lowville among them, can bring their own surprises, so we look at floor structure and services before pricing.

Our Burlington Kitchen Checklist

Points we confirm before any Burlington kitchen is priced.

Residential interior alterations are $8.25 per square metre under the City's fee schedule, with a $377 minimum.

4

HVAC Changes

New or altered HVAC work is charged at $1.41 per square metre, which we include if your hood or ducts change.

Changes that could affect a designated property's protected heritage qualities need an approved heritage permit.

Pricing

Burlington Kitchen Pricing

Full-service kitchens start at $29,990: design, cabinets, countertops, installation and project management, with permits and trades handled by us.

In Burlington, mid-range kitchens typically run $30,000 to $60,000. Condo kitchens usually change finishes rather than layout, which keeps them in that range, while custom kitchens in larger homes reach $60,000 to $150,000 or more. Appliances, at roughly $5,000 to $20,000 or more in our cost guide, are often the easiest line to adjust. We visit, measure and then send a fixed, itemized quote.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Burlington?
Burlington kitchens with us start at $29,990. Most Burlington kitchens cost $30,000 to $60,000, and custom kitchens with premium finishes $60,000 to $150,000 or more.
Does my Burlington kitchen need a building permit?
Probably, if anything structural, mechanical or plumbing changes. The City says all construction projects need a permit except in specific cases, such as replacing plumbing fixtures of the same type in the same location. Interior alterations are $8.25 per square metre, with a $377 minimum.
Can you renovate a kitchen in a Burlington condo?
Yes. We work through the corporation's approval process, book service elevators and design around the building's fixed plumbing and vent locations. Condo kitchens usually keep the sink and range where they are, so the budget goes into cabinetry, counters, lighting and appliances.
What hardness should I set on my new dishwasher?
Halton Region lists 8.7 grains per gallon for Burlington's supply in its 2025 averages, equal to 124 mg/L.
Do you work in older Burlington villages like Appleby or Kilbride?
Yes. We renovate kitchens across the city, including the old villages the City names in its history, from Appleby and Nelson to Kilbride and Lowville. Burlington has also shortlisted 27 properties for heritage designation, so we check the City's register before changing anything outside.
