Kitchen Renovation: Before
Before the renovation, the kitchen was slightly outdated, with green countertops, white cabinet doors, an old oven, and a simple tile backsplash. The green countertops were fading and showing signs of wear and tear, making the kitchen look dull and uninviting. The white cabinet doors had lost their lustre and looked old and outdated. The oven was also showing signs of wear, and its age was starting to affect its functionality. The tile backsplash, although functional, was plain and did not add any character or charm to the kitchen. The kitchen's overall design lacked personality and was not reflective of the homeowners' taste or style.
Overall, the kitchen desperately needed an upgrade to make it more functional and aesthetically pleasing. The homeowners were ready for a change and excited to get their new, upgraded kitchen!
The Upgrade Process
The first step was to remove all the old cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, making way for new materials. We started by designing and installing new cabinets that would provide ample storage space and add a modern touch to the kitchen. The new cabinets were made of high-quality materials, with sleek and elegant designs that fit the homeowners' taste and style.
Next, we installed new countertops that were both durable and aesthetically pleasing. The homeowners chose a stunning quartz countertop that would provide the durability and longevity needed for a busy kitchen. To add some personality and charm to the kitchen, we installed a beautiful new backsplash. The floor tiles were also removed, and new, stone tiles were installed to complete the minimalistic and modern look the homeowners were going for.
Kitchen Renovation: After
The finished product of the kitchen upgrade project was a stunning and functional space that complements the house’s modern look and feel. The new flooring was a warm and inviting stone tile that added character to the kitchen. It was durable and easy to maintain, making it the perfect choice for a busy kitchen. The new cabinets were sleek and modern, providing ample storage space and a streamlined look that tied the entire kitchen together. The cabinets were made of high-quality materials, ensuring that they would last for years to come. The modern design, high-quality materials, and attention to detail made the kitchen easy to use and a beautiful place to be.
The homeowners now have a beautiful, functional kitchen that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Yes, you will likely need permits to renovate your home in Vancouver. The specific permits required will depend on the scope and nature of your renovation project.
In general, if your renovation involves any structural changes, electrical or plumbing work, or changes to the building envelope (e.g. windows, doors, insulation), you will need to obtain a building permit from the City of Vancouver.
If your renovation involves changes to the exterior of the building, such as the addition of a deck or a new roof, you may also need a development permit.
It is important to note that failing to obtain the necessary permits can result in fines or legal issues down the line, so it is always a good idea to consult with a professional and obtain the proper permits before starting any renovation work.
