All this and meal preparation too. No wonder smart decisions about a new kitchen are so critical. At Nord Alta, we help clients make these design/build decisions all the time.

Important Kitchen Remodel Questions

How much does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Edmonton

On average, it costs about $30,000-50,000 to redo a small kitchen in Edmonton. Your taste in style and quality, as well as the specifics of your kitchen, will affect this total price. For example, if you want high-end appliances and finishes, your kitchen renovation will cost more. • If you are doing a small kitchen renovation that is simple and straightforward, with nothing too fancy, you can expect to pay around $30,000 or more. • For a mid-range reno, you will be looking at approximately $50,000 or more. This price includes an average size kitchen and some high-quality items. • If you have more expensive tastes, and a large kitchen, you should budget at least $80,000 or more for your kitchen renovation costs. Regardless of your budget, don’t forget to set aside some money for unexpected costs.

Should I come up with designs before contacting you to start my kitchen renovation?

If you feel comfortable drawing out some ideas for a new kitchen, then do so. However, it's not necessary for you to come up with drawings. It is useful, however, to have answers to important questions around usage, styles, and overall expectations. Some great questions to consider are:
  • Who will use the kitchen? Who does the cooking?
  • Do you entertain large parties? Or entertain in the kitchen?
  • Are there any mobility or height issues?

Are there elements that should be considered in every kitchen renovation?

When retrofitting a kitchen for today's needs there are a couple of elements that are often overlooked and should be included, even if you are only replacing cabinets:
Insulation
If the existing cabinets are mounted on the outside walls and you home is pre 1970, this is the very best time to upgrade that wall insulation. The benefits are tremendous with today's energy prices.
Electrical
Many older homes pre-date the use of small appliances and the electrical requirements are often insufficient. It's also a great time to revisit your kitchen lighting, especially around food preparation areas. Under-cabinet lighting, above-cabinet indirect lighting, pot lights, or traditional fixtures are all available. And consider new LED light fixtures for energy savings.

Should we continue to live in the building while it's under construction?

The size of the renovation and the impact on your living and sleeping quarters will ultimately dictate whether or not you can continue to live there through the construction process:
  • If there are structural changes or if insulation or drywall is used, it would be smart to move to a safer environment.
  • You may sacrifice private time with your family with construction under way.
