"Delivered exactly what I wanted"
Kitchen renovations Orléans homeowners book with us come with one fixed price, one completion date, and a decision we help you make honestly at the consult: does this kitchen need replacing, or just transforming? A huge share of Orléans - Convent Glen, Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook, Chapel Hill - went up in the 1980s and 90s with solid oak cabinets that have outlived their look but not their build quality. Sometimes the smart money refaces them. Sometimes it doesn't. The consult is free either way, and the quote is in writing within 48 hours.

Why Orléans homeowners choose us.
Orléans is Ottawa's builder-home heartland, and the reface-vs-replace call is the whole game here. When your 80s oak boxes are square, dry, and where you want them, new doors, drawer fronts, and a quartz top can transform the room for meaningfully less than a full replacement - and many Queenswood Heights and Convent Glen originals qualify. When you're fighting the layout - a peninsula that blocks the room, no space for an island, appliances crammed into corners - refacing only polishes a floor plan you'll still dislike, so a replacement lets us fix the geometry, and in most 80s-90s two-storeys the kitchen-to-family-room wall can be opened after a structural check. Newer south-Orléans homes from the 2000s-2010s - Avalon, Notting Hill - have the opposite issue: fine layouts, builder-grade everything, so those projects are usually counters, backsplash, lighting, and cabinet upgrades in the same footprint. We tell you which path yours needs at the consult, then lock the scope and price in writing before anything moves.

What kitchen renovations orléans costs in Orléans.
$35,000–$80,000+
Full kitchen renovations run $35,000–$80,000+, with most Orléans projects landing between $45K and $65K. Refacing-led transformations of sound 80s oak kitchens come in below that band - one reason we check whether yours qualifies before recommending a gut. Opening the family-room wall, moving plumbing for an island, or going fully custom pushes toward the top. Whatever the path, the number is fixed in the contract before work starts.

Straight answers, no fluff.
- Q.01
Is refacing really worth it, or is it lipstick?
On a sound 80s oak kitchen it's a legitimate renovation - new doors, soft-close hardware, quartz counters, new backsplash and lighting. On a failing or badly laid-out kitchen it's wasted money, and we'll say so at the consult.
- Q.02
Can you open the wall between the kitchen and family room?
In most Orléans two-storeys, yes, after a load-bearing assessment. Beam, permit, and inspection are all built into the fixed price.
- Q.03
Which neighbourhoods do you serve?
All of Orléans: Convent Glen, Queenswood Heights, Fallingbrook, Chapel Hill, Avalon, Notting Hill, Châtelaine Village, Chaperal, and out to Cumberland's urban edge.
- Q.04
How long will we be without a kitchen?
Only the on-site build affects you - about 1-2 weeks for refacing, 3-4 for a same-footprint replacement, 6-8 for a full gut. We set up a temporary kitchen zone so you can stay home throughout.
- Q.05
What happens if you find something behind the walls?
It gets photographed, documented, and priced as an optional change order you approve in writing. The base price doesn't move - that's contractual.
