S-101.1 Scope
What a kitchen renovation covers
- Layout changes. Opening a wall to the dining or living room, adding an island, or reworking the room so it suits how you cook and gather. Structural changes are planned before anything comes out, with permits where they are needed.
- Cabinetry and storage. New cabinets, full-height pantry units and built-ins. In Project Nixon, a new built-in pantry added storage to a galley-style kitchen.
- Counters, backsplashes and tile. Stone or quartz counters, tiled backsplashes and floors, chosen with you and installed as part of the same job.
- Lighting and electrical. Pot lights, pendants over an island and under-cabinet lighting, planned with the layout rather than added at the end.
- Floors and finishing. New flooring through the kitchen and the rooms around it, trim and paint, so the kitchen ties into the rest of the floor.
Kitchen work often runs into the rooms beside it. If you are opening up a main floor, see whole-home renovations.
S-101.2 Work
Kitchens we’ve finished
Project Nixon turned a dated older home into a bright, more functional one, including a galley-style kitchen made to order with a new built-in pantry. Project Lakeview has a white shaker kitchen with a long island, open shelving and pendant lights, open to a living room with a linear fireplace. Project Stonehaven and Project Maple show open kitchens built around large islands.
See the projects page for more photos of each.

S-101.6 FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most kitchen renovations in York Region take 3 to 6 weeks, depending on scope. Replacing cabinets and counters in the same layout moves faster than a new layout with structural or plumbing changes. DDR gives you a realistic timeline before the project starts.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost?
It depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout changes, the cabinetry and finishes, and whether permits or structural work are involved. The most reliable number is a quote for your kitchen. DDR prices each job after seeing the space; call or text 647-991-8551 or request a quote online.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in York Region?
Replacing cabinets and counters generally does not need a building permit. Removing or altering a structural wall, or most new plumbing work, usually does. Each town sets its own rules, so DDR checks the current requirements for your address before work starts.
Can you work with my kitchen designer?
Yes. DDR works alongside your designer, architect or interior decorator, and builds to the drawings you have agreed on.
Do you take on smaller kitchen jobs?
Yes. Larger renovations are much of our work, but smaller jobs are welcome too, such as new counters and a backsplash or a cabinet refresh. Call or text 647-991-8551 and tell us what you have in mind.
