- General Contractor: The general contractor will demolish the old kitchen, do repairs to thestructure, and bring up the skeleton in preparation for the other professionals to come in. The general contractor coordinates the rest of the professionals, handles all inspections, codes, and permits, and makes intelligent decisions on the building process and materials.
- Designer: The designer will have a good understanding of space, ergonomics, and colours and will ensure that the different elements come together in such a way that you get maximum comfort, safety, and efficiency.
- Electrician: An electrician ensures that your kitchen has proper lighting and ventilation and that the sockets are ready for appliances.
- Plumber: The new kitchen design may require that you reroute the plumbing. A plumber does this relocation and instals the sink, taps, faucets, shutoff valves, garbage disposal system, dishwasher, and other water-related fixtures and appliances.
- Cabinetmaker: The cabinetmakers focus on the finer details of wood distinguishing them from carpenters. Cabinetmakers ensure that the cabinets fit perfectly within the space available. They will help you pick the best design, materials, and fixtures like racks and knobs to bring your dream to life.
- Tiler: A tiler instals plain or patterned tiles on the floor and the backsplash. An experienced tiler instals the tiles with patience and precision and makes the floor look like a seamless mat spread across the room.

Important Questions to Ask Your Kitchen Contractor
Although Ontario contractors are well regulated, the truth of the matter is that some will over- advertise. Take your time to interrogate the contractors you are considering to avoid frustration down the road. You should ask questions to determine if the contractor you are looking at has the expertise needed for the job. The contractor should demonstrate this by showing you their previous work and proving that they have a team of experts behind their operation. These include plumbers, electricians, designers, and tiling experts.
The contractor should prove that they are qualified, credible, and reliable by demonstrating they are licensed. You should ask questions to confirm if the crew is insured, so you are not liable in case of an accident. You should also ask questions with regard to the contractors’ willingness to complete the job on time and within budget, their willingness to make adjustments, and their readiness to have an open communication channel with you.
Prepare the questions beforehand and pay close attention to the answers so you can note red flags, if any. Follow your instinct too.

What is the Cost of Kitchen Remodelling in Etobicoke?
A number of different factors determine the amount of money you will spend on your kitchen renovation. These include the size of the kitchen, the quality of materials and fixtures, and whether you are hiring a contractor or doing it yourself. This means there is no standard rate, but you expect to pay anywhere between $45 on a small project and $100 on larger projects in Etobicoke. The cost depends on the experience of the team and the complexity of the renovation. Some contractors charge per square footage while others charge per hour.
