Ajax is a real kitchen job for us. A single vanity is not.
Ajax is 50 to 70 minutes east of the shop, so we quote it case by case and put the drive in the proposal. A full kitchen, or a kitchen plus another room, usually prices sensibly. A small refresh with no cabinets does not, and we will say that on the first call. South Ajax is post-war houses with closed kitchens. Nottingham and the central subdivisions are 1980s and 1990s builder kitchens. Pickering Village is the older core.

Ajax neighbourhoods and what we find there
Kitchen Renovation in South Ajax
Post-war houses near the lake. Closed kitchens opened to the living room, with a Town of Ajax permit when the wall or the sink moves.
Kitchen Renovation in Pickering Village
Older houses around the historic core. Interior cabinet work around features worth keeping. We look at the wiring before we specify appliances.
Kitchen Renovation in Nottingham & Central East
1980s and 1990s detached homes. Oak or builder maple cabinets, laminate counters, and a layout that can take an island.
Kitchen Renovation in Riverside
Newer subdivisions. Builder packages that need cabinets, counters, and lighting more than structural work.
