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.

Kitchen Renovation questions - Ajax

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Ajax?
A kitchen renovation in Ajax runs $25,000–$50,000. A cabinet-and-counter refresh in the existing footprint starts around $18,000. A full rebuild that moves the sink and needs a permit lands at the top of that range. Projects above $50,000 are typically beyond our usual scope. Opening a load-bearing wall is a separate line, usually $15,000–$35,000. For Ajax, the commute is built into the quote rather than billed as a travel fee.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Ajax?
A cabinet-and-counter refresh takes 2–3 weeks. A full rebuild in the same footprint takes 3–4 weeks, and a layout change that moves the sink takes 4–5 weeks. When plumbing or a wall moves, Town of Ajax Building Services permit review adds time before demolition, and we put that in the schedule.
Do I need a building permit in Ajax?
Yes when a wall is removed or moved, plumbing is relocated or added, new electrical circuits go in, or a basement is finished with a bathroom or a separate unit. Like-for-like replacements in the same positions usually do not need a building permit, though electrical work still goes through ESA. We prepare drawings, file with Town of Ajax Building Services, and book every inspection.
Do you actually take kitchen work in Ajax?
Yes, quoted case by case. Ajax is 50 to 70 minutes from our Mississauga shop. A full kitchen usually makes the drive worthwhile. A one-day repair does not, and we will tell you that before booking a visit. The commute is inside the proposal, not a surprise travel line.
Who issues the permit for an Ajax kitchen?
The Town of Ajax, when a wall moves, the sink is relocated, or new circuits are added. A cabinet replacement in the same footprint usually does not need a building permit. Electrical work still goes through ESA either way.
