Kitchen Renovations in Burnaby, BC

WHERE WE REMODEL

Kitchens Boxed Off From the Rooms They Should Open Into

The typical Burnaby, BC kitchen we are called to was framed as a separate room with one window and a single duplex outlet per wall. Older houses in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill hide bulkheads full of ducting above the wall cabinets. Tower suites in Brentwood and Metrotown restrict where a hood is able to vent. Newer townhomes through Langley, Surrey, Richmond and White Rock start better but rarely use the vertical space. We plan around each of those realities before a single cabinet is ordered.

01

Cabinet Replacement and Custom Storage

New boxes sized to the actual wall, with drawer banks instead of deep base cupboards, pull out pantry units, corner solutions and full height uppers. Storage is planned around what you already own, not around standard cabinet increments off a price list.

02

Countertop and Backsplash Installation

Quartz, granite and solid surface tops templated only after cabinets are set and levelled, with undermount sinks and properly supported overhangs. Backsplashes run to the underside of the uppers, sealed at the counter so spills never reach the substrate.

03

Kitchen Layout Redesign

Work triangles, aisle widths and appliance clearances all redrawn before anything at all is ordered. Walls, bulkheads and doorways are reconsidered so the room stops fighting the way people move through it during an ordinary weeknight with the oven on.

04

Electrical and Lighting Upgrades

Counter receptacles spaced to code, protected circuits near the sink, dedicated lines for larger appliances, and properly layered lighting. Under-cabinet task strips, dimmable ceiling fixtures, and pendant placement are all set against your real working heights rather than a standard drawing.

05

Range Hood and Ventilation

Ducted extraction sized to the cooking surface and routed outdoors by the shortest practical path available. Makeup air, duct diameter, and termination location are all checked early, because in concrete buildings those constraints end up deciding the hood.

06

Appliance Integration and Hookups

Panel-ready fronts, filler and scribe details, gas and water connections, and cabinet openings are templated from the actual appliance specifications. Everything sits flush, doors clear the handles, and nothing needs shimming, packing, or trimming out after the delivery truck leaves.

TESTIMONIALS

01

Drawers Instead of Deep Base Cupboards

Full-extension drawers bring the back of the cabinet out to you rather than sending you crawling in after a pot. Base storage becomes genuinely usable, and nothing gets lost behind the front row of tins and pans ever again.

02

Counter Height Matched to the Cook

Standard height suits an average of people, which means in practice it suits almost nobody exactly. Adjusting the run, or varying heights between prep and baking zones, removes years of small strain from shoulders, wrists and lower backs over the years.

03

Lighting in Layers, Not One Ceiling Fixture

Task lighting under the uppers puts light directly on the cutting board instead of on your back. Dimmable ambient light above handles everything else, so the room works for chopping onions and for lingering over a glass of wine there afterwards.

04

A Sink Zone Planned Around the Dishwasher

Landing space on either side, the dishwasher hinged so whoever is loading is not blocking the drawer bank, and rubbish sorting within a single step. Cleanup stops being the part of cooking that everybody in the house quietly tries to avoid.

05

Ventilation Sized for How You Actually Cook

Searing and wok cooking demand extraction that a recirculating unit simply cannot deliver. Getting the duct route and the hood capacity right keeps grease off the cabinet doors and cooking smells out of the soft furnishings on the floor above.

06

Durable Surfaces in the Places That Take Punishment

Quartz around the sink, a fully sealed backsplash behind the range, and flooring that shrugs off a dropped tin. Choosing for wear in the hardest working metre saves you refinishing the entire room again five or six years from now.

WHO WE ARE

Your Cooking Habits Decide the Drawings, Not a Showroom

Ask us how many people cook at once, where the groceries land, which appliances you actually reach for, and whether anyone eats standing at the counter. Those answers move outlets, change drawer widths, and decide whether an island helps or simply blocks the room. 12 years of doing it this way means our drawings reflect a real household rather than a catalogue spread. Share your current layout and a rough wish list through the contact page to get started.
