Kitchen renovation

Does your kitchen look tired? Are the cabinets worn out, the countertop stained, and the layout driving you crazy every time you cook?

That's normal. The kitchen is the most used room in the house. It's where you spend hours every week—preparing meals, making lunches, having your morning coffee.

A poorly designed or outdated kitchen affects your daily life more than you think. Not enough storage space, cabinets that don't close properly, a countertop that's too small to prepare meals—all of this creates frustration day after day.

At Solutions Rénovation Québec, we renovate beautiful kitchens., Yes, but above all functional. We think about how you really use it, not just how it will look on Instagram.

Problems We See in Old Kitchens

Worn-out or outdated cabinets. Doors that don't close properly, peeling melamine, broken hinges. Or just an '80s style that makes your whole house look old.

Damaged counters. Peeling laminate, blackened countertop joints, burns, or stains that are impossible to remove.

Lack of storage space. Not enough cabinets, wasted corners, poorly used spaces. The result: your countertops are always cluttered because you have nowhere to put your things.

Inefficient layout. A refrigerator that's too far from the prep counter, a poorly placed sink, not enough workspace. It complicates everything when you're cooking.

Inadequate lighting. A single light on the ceiling that creates shadows everywhere. You can't see anything when you're cutting vegetables or reading a recipe.

Damaged floor. Old linoleum that is peeling off, wood that has absorbed water near the dishwasher, creaking floorboards.

Outdated plumbing or electrical systems. Not enough electrical outlets, leaky faucet, old pipes that could cause damage.

What We Do in a Kitchen Renovation

New or Refurbished Cabinets

New custom-made cabinets. We work with Quebec manufacturers who make high-quality cabinets. Durable melamine, thermoplastic, or solid wood, depending on your budget.

Complete customization: Choose your style (modern, traditional, shaker, contemporary), your color (white, gray, black, natural wood), your accessories (sliding drawers, organizers, baskets).

Painting existing cabinets. If your cabinets are still sturdy but just ugly, we can paint them. We sand them down, prime them with a specialized product, and then apply ultra-durable paint. It costs three times less than new cabinets.

Door replacement only. If the cabinets are still in good condition, you can just replace the doors and handles. A completely new look for a fraction of the price.

Sustainable Counters

Quartz. Our top recommendation. Durable, non-porous, stain and scratch resistant. Zero maintenance. Available in a wide range of colors and patterns.

High-quality laminate. An economical option that has evolved considerably. New laminates perfectly mimic quartz or granite, and are much more resistant than before.

Granite. Classic and elegant. Each tile is unique. Must be sealed every 1-2 years to remain waterproof.

Solid wood. For a lunch nook or island. Warm and beautiful, but requires more maintenance (regular oiling).

We take precise measurements, order the right materials, and install them with precision. The joints are invisible, and the cutouts for the sink and stove are perfect.

Backsplash

A beautiful backsplash completely changes the look of your kitchen.

Ceramic or porcelain. Classic, durable, easy to clean. Can be used for subway tiles, mosaics, and large formats.

Quartz or granite. For a high-end look that matches your countertop.

Acrylic or glass panel. Modern and super easy to maintain—no joints to clean.

We install neatly, cut precisely around electrical outlets, and make waterproof grout joints.

Resistant Floor

Cooking is tough on flooring. You need something durable and easy to clean.

SPC vinyl. Our top pick. 100% waterproof, ultra-resistant, perfectly imitates wood or ceramic.

Ceramic or porcelain. Very durable, waterproof, easy to wash. You can even install underfloor heating underneath.

Hardwood. Beautiful but less practical in a kitchen—sensitive to water and stains. We only recommend it if you really want this look.

Modern Plumbing

New faucet. Faucet with shower head, touch faucet, commercial faucet—we install whatever you want. We make sure there are no leaks and that the pressure is right.

New sink. Single or double sink, stainless steel, composite granite, ceramic—depending on your budget and needs.

Built-in dishwasher. We can install a new dishwasher or replace your old one. We take care of the plumbing and electrical connections.

Water filtration system. If you want filtered water straight from the tap, we can install that.

Electrical Compliance

New electrical outlets. We add outlets where you need them—on the countertop, in the island, for your appliances.

Modern lighting. Under-cabinet lighting (LED), ceiling spotlights, pendant lights above the island or table.

Built-in USB ports. To charge your phone or tablet right in the kitchen.

Everything is done by certified electricians, in accordance with the Quebec electrical code.

Appliances (if necessary)

We coordinate the installation of your new appliances—stove, refrigerator, microwave, range hood. We make sure everything fits perfectly into the design.

Our Renovation Process

Free consultation. We come to your home, look at your current kitchen, discuss what frustrates you, take measurements, and exchange ideas.

Custom design. We create a 3D plan of your new kitchen. You can see exactly what it will look like before we start. We make adjustments until it's perfect.

Detailed submission. You receive a comprehensive quote with all the details—cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, plumbing, electrical, labor. No hidden fees.

Demolition and preparation. We remove the old cabinets, the old countertop, and the flooring if necessary. We protect the rest of your home from dust.

Installation. Plumbing and electrical work first, then cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, floor, painting, finishes.

Complete cleaning. We pick up all the debris and clean thoroughly.

Final inspection with you. We make sure that everything works, that you're satisfied, that there are no issues.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of your kitchen and the quality of the materials, but here are some realistic estimates:

• Economical renovation (painted cabinets, laminate countertop, simple backsplash): 15 000-25 000$
• Mid-range renovation (new standard cabinets, quartz countertops, good flooring): 25 000-40 000$
• High-end renovation (custom cabinets, premium quartz countertops, built-in appliances): 40 000-60 000$+

These prices include everything: materials, labor, plumbing, electrical work, and finishing touches.

We give you a fixed price from the outset. If we discover anything unexpected (rotten pipes, walls that need to be redone), we will let you know before continuing.

How Long Does It Take?

After signing the contract, allow 2-4 weeks for the cabinets and countertop to be manufactured.

The installation itself usually takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.

Yes, it's a pain not to have a kitchen during that time. We work as quickly as possible while doing a flawless job. And we leave your sink functional every evening if possible.

Tips for Planning Your Kitchen

Think about your work triangle. Refrigerator, sink, stove—these three elements should form an efficient triangle. You don't want to have to cross the entire kitchen 50 times while you're cooking.

Make sure you have enough storage space. Ceiling-height cabinets to maximize space, deep drawers for pots and pans, organizers for spices. We think of everything with you in mind.

Choose sustainable materials. A kitchen is a long-term investment. It's better to spend a little more money on quartz than to regret your cheap laminate countertop in five years.

Light up well. Under-cabinet lighting so you can see what you're doing, good general lighting on the ceiling, mood lighting above the island.

Consider resale. A beautiful modern kitchen adds value to your home. Aim for a timeless style that will appeal to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a complete kitchen renovation take?

Generally 1-2 weeks for installation once the materials have arrived. Before that, allow 2-4 weeks for the cabinets and countertop to be manufactured. We will give you a precise schedule at the start of the project.

Can I use my kitchen during the renovation work?

It's limited. We try to keep your sink functional for as long as possible, but there are times when you'll have to improvise. Many of our customers set up a temporary coffee corner in another room and order more often during the work.

Quartz or granite, which one should you choose?

Quartz is our recommendation in 90% cases. It is non-porous (no sealant required), ultra-resistant, and available in a wide range of uniform colors. Granite is natural and unique, but requires regular maintenance (sealant every 1-2 years).

Can we keep our cabinets and just change the countertop?

Yes, if the cabinets are still sturdy and properly aligned. This is an economical option for refreshing your kitchen. You can even repaint the cabinets at the same time for a completely transformed look.

Do we need to redo the plumbing and electrical work?

Not necessarily, but it is often recommended. If your plumbing is 30-40 years old, it's best to replace it while you have access to the walls. The same goes for electricity—take the opportunity to add outlets where needed and bring everything up to current standards.

How to choose the right color for your cabinets?

It depends on your style and your home. White remains a timeless classic and visually enlarges the space. Gray is very popular right now—modern without being too cold. Natural wood adds warmth. We'll show you samples and photos of completed projects to help you decide.

Does it add value to my home?

Absolutely. A modern, functional kitchen is one of the best investments you can make. You can expect to recoup 70-80% of your investment when you sell, and in the meantime, you get to enjoy a beautiful kitchen every day.
