Most Burlington kitchens want a wall gone

Anything built in Halton between 1985 and 2000 was designed with the kitchen closed off from the family room, and that single wall is the reason the space feels dated. Taking it out is a structural job — engineer, stamped drawings, permit, beam — and then a cabinetry job. We do both halves under one contract. Compare against the 2026 kitchen cost guide or read open-concept vs traditional layouts before deciding.

Burlington neighbourhoods we work in

  • Kitchen renovation in Millcroft

    Late-1980s and 1990s detached with the kitchen walled off from the family room. Opening that wall with an engineered beam is the most common Millcroft kitchen scope, and it is what turns a dated plan into a current one.

  • Kitchen renovation in Alton Village & The Orchard

    Post-2000 subdivisions with kitchens already open-plan. The work here is a straight rebuild at a higher spec: bigger island, quartz counters, panelled appliances, full-height slab backsplash.

  • Kitchen renovation in Roseland & Downtown Burlington

    Mature streets south of the QEW with older, smaller kitchens and higher expectations for finish. Custom cabinetry pays off in these houses because the walls are rarely square.

  • Kitchen renovation in Aldershot

    Bungalows and older detached on the west side. Kitchens are often original, with two circuits serving four appliances. Electrical upgrade is usually part of the scope, not an optional extra.

  • Kitchen renovation in Tyandaga & Brant Hills

    Split-levels and 1970s detached where the kitchen is small and closed. The gain usually comes from a layout change rather than a like-for-like replacement.

Kitchen renovation questions - Burlington

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Burlington?
Between $25,000 and $50,000 for most Burlington kitchens in 2026. A cabinet and counter refresh in the existing footprint is $18,000-$28,000, a full rebuild is $25,000-$40,000, and a layout change with relocated plumbing is $35,000-$50,000. Removing a load-bearing wall adds $15,000-$35,000.
Do I need a City of Burlington permit for a kitchen renovation?
Yes if plumbing moves, circuits are added, or a wall comes out. No for cabinets, counters, and finishes in the existing layout. We file the application with the City of Burlington, including the stamped structural drawings when a beam is involved.
How long does a Burlington kitchen renovation take?
Three to five weeks on site. Cabinetry lead time runs before that — six to ten weeks for semi-custom from final measure, twelve or more for full custom — which is what sets your start date, not the trades.
Is Burlington inside your service area?
Yes. Burlington sits with Oakville and Milton in our regular Halton service area, 25 to 40 minutes from our Mississauga shop, with no travel surcharge on the quote. The projects above are our closest completed kitchens, in Oakville and Mississauga.
Can you open the wall between the kitchen and family room?
In most Millcroft and Tyandaga homes, yes. It needs a structural engineer to size the beam, stamped drawings, a City of Burlington permit, and patching across the new opening in both the floor and the ceiling. Budget $15,000-$35,000 depending on span and whether ducting has to move first.
What is the realistic lead time to start?
Four to eight weeks from a signed contract to demolition, and the cabinet order goes in during that window. Spring and early fall book fastest in Halton. If you want a kitchen finished before the December holidays, sign by early September.
