How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Calgary?
· 2 min read
For most Calgary homes, a full kitchen renovation costs roughly $20,000 to $78,000, depending mostly on the size of the kitchen and the finishes you choose.
Typical ranges by size
| Kitchen size | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Medium (100 to 150 sq ft) | $19,500 to $52,000 |
| Large (200+ sq ft) | $40,000 to $78,000 |
Where the money goes
Cabinets are usually the biggest line item, often close to a third of the budget. Labour and installation come next, then countertops, appliances, flooring and backsplash. Premium choices across the board can easily double the total.
Ways to stretch your budget
- Keep the layout. Moving the sink, stove or gas line adds plumbing, electrical and permit costs.
- Refinish instead of replace. Solid cabinet boxes can often be painted or refaced for far less.
- Spend where you touch. Put money into countertops, hardware and lighting; save on hidden items.
How long it takes
Plan on about 4 to 8 weeks for a full kitchen, plus time for design and ordering cabinets. Cosmetic updates usually don't need a permit, but moving plumbing, adding circuits or removing walls does. We handle the permits for you.
