The Experts You Will Need For Your Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen renovation involves working on cabinets, tiles, electrical fixtures, plumbing, and painting, among others. It, therefore, takes a team of experts to give you a dream kitchen. At Easy Renovation, our experts have the training, experience, tools, and equipment needed for the job. Hiring licensed and insured experts ensures no violation of regulations or codes, you will not be liable in case of an accident, and warranties will not be void. We take time to understand your project goals, and our experts, under the leadership of the project manager, then work towards these goals.
- General Contractor: The general contractor oversees the kitchen renovation project from start to finish. The contractor handles all permits and inspections, navigates building codes, makes intelligent decisions on materials and methods, and coordinates the rest of the professionals.
- Designer: It is the work of the kitchen designer to ensure that the different elements are arranged in such a way that they achieve maximum comfort, safety, and efficiency. The designer puts the design on paper, and it is this design that the other professionals will use in the construction.
- Tiling expert: The tiling expert will cover the floor, the wall, and the backsplash with the selected tiles. Tilers work with different tiling materials such as ceramic, slate, and marble and lay tiles in different styles.
- Electrician: Kitchen remodelling may require that you move the electrical wiring and change the location of the sockets. An electrician will make these changes and install such electrical features as sub-panels and circuit breakers.
- Plumber: Some of the tasks done by a plumber are laying or moving around drain lines and plumbing pipes, sink, tap, and faucet installation, dishwasher and garbage disposal system installation, and everything else water-related.
- Cabinetmaker: The cabinet maker will guide you on the cabinet material, fixtures like knobs, drawers, and racks, and design to go with the rest of the kitchen decor. Other than making custom cabinets, the cabinet maker also makes wall units and wine racks and even refurbishes your dilapidated furniture.
The Kitchen Renovation Services Our Vaughan Clients Can Expect from ‘Easy’
At Easy Reno, we are your go-to company for all your kitchen renovation needs.
Our services include:
— Design Services
Our designers will engage you to determine your dream for the kitchen and come up with blueprints for the kitchen. Our designers have years of experience with big and small projects, and they will advise you on additional features that may be of use to you. No matter how unorthodox your dream is, we will find a way to turn it into reality. We will advise you on best practices, materials, accessories, finishes, the latest styles, and related matters.
— Demolition Services
Are you tempted to do kitchen demolition yourself in preparation for a kitchen renovation? While it may appear easy, demolition is more complicated than you may think. It involves applying for the necessary permits, disconnecting existing services like gas, drainage, electricity, and water supply, protecting nearby structures and properties, ensuring that the space is safe to work in, and disposal of the waste. At Easy Reno, our demolition crew has the necessary training, experience, and tools to quickly but safely do the job while ensuring that the fixtures you want to reuse are not damaged. Our crew is insured, meaning you will not be held liable in case of a workplace accident.
— Electrical Works & Plumbing
During the kitchen remodelling process, the electrical and plumbing systems should be put in place by a professional to prevent such problems as water damage and electrical fires. At Easy Reno, we have a team of experienced electricians and plumbers who use the correct installation procedures, materials, and fixtures. Our electricians and plumbers have the relevant licences and insurance.
— Installing Kitchen Flooring and Upgrading the Walls
Tiling is more than setting the tiles in position. The area has to be cleaned, holes, gaps and cracks filled, and uneven surfaces levelled with plaster. Our tiling expert will ensure the tiles are precisely set for a consistent look. Our team will then make the finishing touches on the walls, including painting and preparing them for fixtures and accessories that will be fixed.
— Sink & Cabinet Installation
Our team will then embark on the installation of essential fixtures such as the countertop, sink, faucets, backsplash, and cabinets. We select each of these components carefully since they are not only functional but also affect the aesthetics of the kitchen. We have the experience, training, tools, and equipment to ensure these fixtures are installed following the design plans.
— Finishing Touches
Accessorising the space is the next step after the construction work is completed. This involves the installation of such fixtures as handles and doorknobs, installation of bulbs and other lighting components, and the addition of moulding. All stages of the kitchen remodelling process require proper planning, including finishing. We will assist you with the selection of fixtures beforehand so that we can start with the finishing the moment construction is over. This saves you time and money.
Questions to Ask
a Kitchen Contractor
Like all trades, some kitchen contractors are more credible and reliable than others. If you ask the right questions, you will be able to filter the wheat from the chaff. You should ask questions to determine if the contractor is able to handle your project. The contractor should provide past works done and prove their team is experienced and has the necessary tools for the job.
Licensing and insurance are a must-have for any contractor. Ask for proof of the licence and determine if the team is insured. Ask if the contractor offers general services or specialised services. You should also confirm if the contractor does the job in-house or if they subcontract some of the work. You should also ask questions with regard to the contract they are giving, whether they are willing to work within your budget, and whether they are able to meet the set timelines.
At the end of the day, trust your guts when making the decision. Be on the lookout for red flags such as the contractor failing to prove they are licensed or failing to show their past work.

How much does Kitchen Remodelling in Vaughan Cost?
The total cost of kitchen renovation is determined by the scale of the project, the size of the kitchen, the current versus the desired configuration and the quality of the materials and the separate elements you plan to add to the kitchen. In Vaughan, contractors charge between $45 for smaller projects and $100 for larger projects. Some electricians and plumbers charge more than $100 for more complex jobs.
To save money on labour, consider hiring a contractor who offers all kitchen renovation services under one roof. This way, you will get a standard labour cost. Hiring a single full-service contractor also makes managing the project easier. You also expect to pay less on labour because full-service contractors usually use suppliers that they have worked with many times in the past and who are likely to offer discounts.
By offering complete turnkey kitchen renovation services, the Easy Reno team is able to do a full kitchen renovation in Vaughan for between $12,000 and $40,000.
