Which Kitchen Renovation Fits Your Home
Most Ottawa kitchens fall into one of three kinds of project. The right one depends on whether your layout works and how much of the room you want to change.
Full Kitchen Renovation
A whole new room. Layout changes, custom cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and the plumbing and electrical to match, sometimes with a wall removed to open the space.

Rip and Replace
Your layout already works, the finishes do not. We take out the old kitchen and install new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and fixtures in the same footprint, which keeps plumbing moves and timelines short.

Small Kitchen Renovation
Condos, galley kitchens, and older Ottawa homes where every inch counts. Smarter storage, minor layout changes, new flooring, and semi-custom finishes.

Common Kitchen Renovation Challenges We Solve
Every Ottawa kitchen renovation comes with obstacles, and most of them are hidden behind the cabinets. We have worked through every one of them across hundreds of homes.
You get a fully itemized, fixed quote before work starts, so the renovation stays on budget with no surprise invoices mid-project. Want a starting point first? Our kitchen cost calculator gives you a planning range in a few minutes.
Moving plumbing, adding circuits, or taking out a wall means a City of Ottawa building permit. We pull every permit required and build every element to the Ontario Building Code, so your investment is protected when you sell.
Poor scheduling is how a few weeks of work turns into months without a kitchen. Your project manager lines up every trade in order, and cabinets and countertops are ordered early, so your kitchen finishes on time.
Picking cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and flooring is a lot of decisions. Our designers walk you through each one at the design centre, matched to your style and your budget.
What Shapes Your Kitchen Budget
Two kitchens of the same size can land far apart. These are the three decisions that move an Ottawa kitchen renovation budget the most.
Layout and Plumbing
Keeping the sink, range, and dishwasher where they are is the biggest saving available. Moving them means new drain and supply lines, new circuits, and often a permit. Removing a wall adds structural work.
Cabinetry
Cabinets are usually the largest single line in a kitchen budget. Stock, semi-custom, and fully custom cabinets differ in sizing, finishes, and construction, and the tier you choose shapes the rest of the budget.
Surfaces and Appliances
Countertops run from laminate to quartz to natural stone, and quartz is the most popular choice in Ottawa. Appliance packages, flooring, and backsplash tile add up quickly once you step past standard.

Ottawa Kitchen Renovation Questions
Scope first: whether the layout stays or changes, and whether walls, plumbing, or electrical move. Then the cabinet tier, countertop material, and appliance package. A rip and replace in the same footprint sits at the lower end, and a full open-concept remodel with custom cabinetry at the higher end. Our guide to kitchen renovation costs in Ottawa walks through each factor, and OGC's fixed pricing means your quote is your final number.
Cabinetry, in almost every kitchen. It covers the most square footage and involves the most material and labour, so the cabinet tier you choose is one of the first decisions we work through in your design consultation. We cover the rest of the list in the most expensive parts of a kitchen renovation.
Stock cabinets come in set sizes and finishes and suit a straightforward layout. Semi-custom adds sizes, finishes, and storage options, and is where most Ottawa kitchens land. Custom is built to fit your space exactly, which matters in older homes with uneven walls or unusual rooms. Read more about kitchen cabinet options in Ottawa.
It depends on scope. A rip and replace can be completed in as little as 2 weeks, while a full layout change with structural work typically runs 2 to 4 months. OGC gives you a detailed schedule at the planning stage, and your project manager keeps you updated at every milestone.
Quartz is the most popular choice in Ottawa because it is durable, non-porous, and needs no sealing. Granite and marble suit homeowners who want natural stone and accept more upkeep, and laminate remains the budget option. Our designers help you balance durability, looks, and budget. Compare the options in our guide to kitchen countertops in Ottawa.
It depends on the scope. Cosmetic updates such as new countertops, cabinet refacing, and paint generally do not need a permit. If your renovation moves walls, changes plumbing locations, or updates electrical, a City of Ottawa building permit is required. OGC handles all permitting for you as part of our full-service process.
Yes, most Ottawa homeowners stay put. We seal off the work area, protect floors and the rest of the house, and clean up at the end of each day. Plan on a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the home for the weeks the room is out of service, and your project manager will tell you in advance when water or power needs to be off.
