Residential / Kitchen Renovations
Kitchen Renovations
Kitchens rebuilt around how your household actually cooks, eats and gathers.
The work
The kitchen is where a house gets used hardest. A good renovation is less about a catalogue of finishes and more about workflow, storage, lighting and making sure plumbing, electrical and ventilation are done properly behind the walls.
HomeStead GC runs kitchen renovations as a general contractor, coordinating demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting and finishing through licensed trades.
What is included
- Layout changes and demolition
- Cabinetry and finish carpentry
- Plumbing and electrical by licensed trades
- Drywall, insulation and painting
- Flooring and final finishing
What to know in Durham Region and the GTA
Many homes across Durham Region and the GTA were built with kitchens that are closed off from dining and living areas. Opening a wall can transform the space, but if it is load-bearing it needs proper structural attention and may need a permit from your municipality.
Moving plumbing, gas or electrical circuits can also trigger permit and inspection requirements. We tell you up front what applies to your project in Durham Region or the GTA.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does a kitchen renovation need a permit in Durham Region and the GTA?
It depends on scope. Removing a load-bearing wall or changing plumbing, gas or electrical work usually involves a permit and inspection from your municipality, while swapping cabinets and finishes in place often does not.
Can you handle plumbing and electrical too?
Yes. We coordinate licensed plumbing and electrical trades as part of the renovation, so one contractor manages the whole job.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Many families do. We plan for a temporary kitchen setup and keep work areas contained, though it depends on the scope of the project.
Who does the work on my project?
HomeStead GC is a general contractor backed by a network of over 42 licensed professional trades. For a kitchen renovation, we bring in the specific trades the scope calls for and coordinate them under one point of contact, so you are not managing separate contractors yourself.
