Kitchen Renovations in Burlington
Kitchen renovations for Burlington's 1960s and 1970s houses, townhouses and condos, from Aldershot to Alton. Complete kitchens from $29,990.
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.
Condo Approvals
Board consent, elevator bookings and fixed plumbing come first in a condo kitchen.
Broad Permit Rule
Burlington requires a permit for construction projects except in listed cases, so we confirm yours early.
Interior Alteration Fee
Residential interior alterations are $8.25 per square metre under the City's fee schedule, with a $377 minimum.
HVAC Changes
New or altered HVAC work is charged at $1.41 per square metre, which we include if your hood or ducts change.

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