Renovating a kitchen in West Vancouver requires more than just a toolbox; it requires an understanding of the local lifestyle and architecture. We know that in Dundarave and Ambleside, the kitchen isn't just for cooking—it's often oriented to maximize a breathtaking ocean view. We understand that in the British Properties, homeowners often need structural modifications to open up older, segmented layouts typical of hillside homes.
Local Knowledge, Fuss-Free Delivery As a family-owned team (Mike & George), we have over 40 years of experience navigating the specific nuances of the North Shore.
We offer a full menu of services to satisfy your appetite for design. Explore our kitchen renovation services below:
Full Kitchen Remodels
The Whole Enchilada. If your kitchen is stuck in the 1980s, a coat of paint won't cut it. Our full remodels involve stripping the space to the studs. We reroute plumbing, upgrade electrical for modern appliances, and completely reconfigure the layout to improve the "work triangle." This is the perfect solution for older homes needing a fresh start.
Custom Cabinetry
Storage Wars: Won. Clutter is the enemy of a happy cook. We design and install custom and semi-custom cabinetry built to maximize every inch of storage.
Kitchen Islands and Open Concept Design
The Social Hub. Tearing down walls is our specialty. We specialize in removing partition walls to integrate your kitchen with the living and dining areas—perfect for the West Vancouver lifestyle. We build expansive islands with bar seating, providing the perfect perch for guests while you prep.
Countertops and Finishes
The Icing on the Cake. Surfaces define the mood. We install durable, stain-resistant quartz and natural stone countertops.
Lighting and Electrical Upgrades
Set the Mood. A dark kitchen is a dangerous kitchen. We layer lighting to ensure your space is bright and inviting.
Bon Appétit! | Dundarave
An Entertainer’s Dream. This renovation transformed a tired layout into a modern masterpiece. We installed espresso Shaker cabinets and a massive island with a cascading waterfall granite counter. The design features a cantilevered glass breakfast bar and a built-in espresso machine. The blue/grey glass backsplash pays tribute to the home’s ocean view.
Oh Crepe, now this is a renovation! | Ambleside
Small Expansion, Huge Impact. In this condo renovation, we proved that inches matter. By expanding the kitchen footprint just 18 inches into the living area, we were able to fit full-size appliances and a 20-foot continuous quartz workspace. The result? A fully equipped galley kitchen with floor-to-ceiling storage and a breakfast bar
Penthouse at the Sea! | Ambleside
Luxury at New Heights. We completely reconfigured this 1980s penthouse to create an open-plan marvel. By removing numerous walls, we unified the kitchen with the living area to frame panoramic ocean views. The chef’s kitchen features double islands, new granite countertops, and high-end appliances, all sitting atop high-gloss porcelain flooring
Meet Me at the Beach | Dundarave
Galley to Glorious. We turned an isolated galley kitchen into a bright, open concept space. By removing a wall, we connected the kitchen to the dining room, allowing for a new peninsula with bar seating. Features include herringbone porcelain tile (that looks like marble but cleans like a dream) and custom soft-close cabinetry.
We believe the process should be as smooth as a brand new quartz countertop. Here is our fuss-free recipe for success:
How long does a kitchen renovation take in West Vancouver? A typical kitchen renovation takes between 6 to 8 weeks. If we are removing walls for an open-concept conversion, or if the project involves complex structural changes, it may take closer to 10 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule before we start.
Do I need permits for kitchen renovations? If you are keeping the layout exactly the same and just replacing cabinets/counters, a permit might not be needed. However, most kitchen renovations in West Vancouver involve electrical upgrades, plumbing changes, or wall removal, all of which require permits. We handle the entire application process for you.
What is the average cost of a kitchen renovation? Costs vary widely based on finishes and scope, but a quality full kitchen renovation typically starts around $40,000 and can go up significantly depending on appliances and structural work. We provide complimentary, detailed estimates so you can budget accurately.
Can you remove walls to create open concept layouts? Yes, that is one of our specialties! We frequently remove partition walls to connect kitchens with living and dining areas. We work with structural engineers to ensure load-bearing walls are supported correctly with beams.
Do you provide design assistance? Absolutely. Our in-house design team brings samples of cabinets, counters, and tile to your home. We help you coordinate colors and textures to ensure a cohesive look without the stress of visiting multiple showrooms.
