The 5 Best Kitchen Renovation Companies in Toronto (2026)

The five best kitchen renovation companies in Toronto in 2026 are Easy Renovation, Kitchen & Bath, Ashton Renovations, Lampert Renovations and Senso Design. Each one runs design and construction under one contract. They differ on price, on how much cabinetry they build themselves, and on whether they are stronger in condos, older houses or new builds.

Quick comparison

How the best kitchen renovation companies in Toronto were chosen

Five criteria decided the list: kitchens named as a primary service rather than an add-on, a physical showroom or in-house production space, published credentials that can be verified with a third party, licensing and WSIB coverage, and a public review record across more than one platform.

Companies that only subcontract kitchen work were left out. So were companies with fewer than 20 public reviews. Ratings and review counts move, so treat the numbers below as a starting point and check them before you sign anything.

1. Easy Renovation

Best for: homeowners who want one company to handle design, materials and construction.

Easy Renovation is a Toronto design-build company that has run kitchen, bathroom, condo and full-home renovations since 2017. The kitchen service is turnkey. Design, material ordering, delivery, demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling, cabinetry and installation all sit with one team and one project manager.

The part that separates Easy Renovation from most Toronto contractors is the material handling. The company orders and delivers the fixtures, cabinets and finishes rather than sending you to source them. Selections happen at one of three GTA showrooms, so homeowners can see the cabinetry, countertops and tile in person before the renovation starts rather than approving a kitchen from photos. Once the finishes are chosen, you get a blueprint and a 3D model of the kitchen before demolition begins.

Easy Renovation has won the HomeStars Best of the Best award in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and the company has been featured in BlogTO. Publicly listed data in mid-2026 showed a 4.9 Google rating across more than 1,800 reviews, the largest review volume of any company on this list.

• Kitchen cost: $12,000 to $40,000 for a complete renovation, per the company's own published range
• Timeline: three weeks is the company's stated target once selections are final
• Service area: Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga and the wider GTA
• Phone: 416-323-3419

Worth knowing: kitchens are one of four service lines here, alongside bathrooms, condos and whole-home projects. If you want a firm that does nothing but kitchens, look at Senso Design instead.

2. Kitchen & Bath

Best for: homeowners who want to touch the materials before choosing them.

Kitchen & Bath is a Toronto renovation company with more than 16 years in the GTA market and a showroom stocked with cabinetry, countertops, tile and fixtures. Cabinets are built in-house, which removes the lead-time risk that comes with ordering from an outside cabinet supplier.

The showroom is the reason to shortlist this company. Material selection is where most kitchen budgets go wrong, and comparing a Cambria slab against a Caesarstone slab in person is different from comparing two photos. The company works with Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, Blum, Kohler and Grohe.

Kitchen & Bath is a member of the Canadian Home Builders' Association and has won a HomeStars Best of award seven years in a row. In-house designers produce 3D layouts before construction, and both labour and materials carry warranties.

• Kitchen cost: not published, quote on request after an in-home consultation
• Service area: Toronto, North York, Thornhill, Mississauga and the GTA
• Phone: 905-829-9111

Worth knowing: the company describes its experience as "over 16 years" on one page and "over 20 years" on another. Ask directly during the consultation.

3. Ashton Renovations

Best for: kitchens in pre-war and mid-century Toronto houses.

Ashton Renovations is a Toronto kitchen and bathroom design-build firm with more than 25 years of work in the city. The specialty is older housing stock. Think of the semis and detached homes along the Danforth, in Parkview Hills and in the Beaches. In those houses the original layout puts a wall between the kitchen and the dining room.

That kind of project is structural, not cosmetic. Removing the dividing wall means an engineer, a permit, and a plan for whatever the demolition uncovers. Ashton Renovations handles the structural assessment and the permitting as part of the same contract.

The design credentials are the strongest on this list. Ashton Renovations has won NKBA design awards in 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023. Founder Mark Ashton holds the AKBD designation and judged the 2024 NKBA Design Awards. The company has also won Best of Houzz for Service six straight years. It is licensed by the City of Toronto, registered with the WSIB, and carries $5 million in construction liability insurance.

• Kitchen cost: from about $55,000, reaching $125,000 or more on large custom projects
• Timeline: roughly two months if the layout stays the same and cabinets are ordered early, four to six months in older homes that need permits or wall removal
• Service area: Toronto and the GTA, plus cottage projects in Simcoe County

Worth knowing: this is the highest entry price on the list. Below roughly $50,000, one of the other four companies is the better fit.

4. Lampert Renovations

Best for: condo kitchens and buildings with strict renovation rules.

Lampert Renovations has been a Toronto family business since 1926, when Joseph Lampert opened a plumbing company after immigrating to Canada. Four generations later the company runs complete and partial kitchen, bathroom and condo renovations out of a showroom at 119 Miranda Avenue.

Condo work is the strength. Downtown Toronto condo boards require specific insurance, licensing and elevator scheduling, and a contractor who has not done it before will lose weeks on approvals. Lampert Renovations has completed hundreds of condo projects across Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough, Thornhill and Markham, and holds the licensing condo boards ask for.

Plumbers, renovators and technicians are certified and employed in-house rather than subcontracted. The company is covered by WSIB and carries $5 million in liability insurance. Design consultations are free, either at the showroom or in your home.

• Kitchen cost: not published, quote on request
• Service area: Toronto, Scarborough, Mississauga, Thornhill, Markham
• Showroom: 119 Miranda Avenue, Toronto

Worth knowing: Lampert Renovations grew out of a plumbing and bath business, and bathrooms are still a large share of the work. Ask to see kitchen projects specifically, not a general portfolio.

5. Senso Design

Best for: custom cabinetry built to the exact dimensions of your kitchen.

Senso Design is a custom kitchen manufacturer and renovation company based at 250 Shields Court in Markham, serving Toronto and the GTA. The team handles layout planning, cabinetry, countertops, backsplashes and installation, and takes on plumbing and electrical work when a layout changes.

The reason to consider Senso Design is the cabinetry. Standard cabinet runs come in fixed widths, and fitting them into an irregular Toronto kitchen leaves filler panels and dead corners. Cabinets built to measurement remove that problem. The company cites more than 20 years of experience in woodworking and interior design and produces its collections under ISO 9001 certification.

Senso Design holds a 5.0 rating on Houzz across 44 reviews. Quotes and consultations are free, and financing is available.

• Kitchen cost: not published, quote on request
• Service area: Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and the GTA
• Phone: 416-900-3675

Worth knowing: Senso Design is based in Markham rather than Toronto. That matters for site-visit frequency on a downtown project. Ask how often a project manager will be on site.

What does a kitchen renovation cost in Toronto in 2026?

A full kitchen renovation in Toronto runs from about $12,000 at the low end to $125,000 or more at the high end. The wide spread is real, and it comes down to three things.

Cabinetry is usually 30% to 40% of the budget. Stock cabinets in standard widths sit at the bottom of the range. Custom cabinets built to measurement sit at the top.

Layout changes move the number more than any finish. Keeping the sink, stove and fridge where they are keeps the plumbing and electrical work minimal. Moving them means new drain lines, new circuits, and usually a permit.

Structural work is the third driver. Removing a wall between a kitchen and a dining room in an older Toronto home may need an engineer's drawings and a building permit.

For reference, Easy Renovation publishes a range of $12,000 to $40,000 for a complete kitchen. Ashton Renovations states that its custom kitchen projects start around $55,000. Those two figures bracket most of the Toronto market.

Do you need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Toronto?

You need a City of Toronto building permit for structural changes, for moving or adding plumbing drains, and for adding electrical circuits. Replacing cabinets, countertops, flooring and the backsplash in the same layout does not require a building permit.

Electrical work is separate. Ontario requires a notification filed with the Electrical Safety Authority for most kitchen circuit work, and the contractor arranges that. If a contractor tells you a job involving new circuits or a moved sink drain needs no permit, ask why in writing.

What to check before signing a renovation contract

• Get the quote as a fixed price with line items. Materials, labour and design fees should each have a number. A single lump sum with no breakdown gives you nothing to dispute later.
• Ask who is on site. A company running its own crew controls quality. Heavy subcontracting spreads accountability across three or four businesses.
• Confirm WSIB coverage and liability insurance. Ask for the certificate, not a verbal yes. Ashton Renovations and Lampert Renovations both publish $5 million liability coverage as a benchmark.
• Read review volume, not just the star rating. A 4.7 average across 200 reviews carries more information than 5.0 across eight.
• Ask for a written schedule with phases. "Six to eight weeks" without a phase breakdown is a guess. A contractor who can name the demolition week, the rough-in week and the cabinet install week has planned the job.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a kitchen renovation take in Toronto? A cosmetic renovation with no layout change takes three to six weeks. A full reconfiguration with new plumbing, new electrical and structural work takes six to twelve weeks, and older homes needing permits can reach four to six months. Cabinet lead times are the most common cause of delay.

Can I live in the house during a kitchen renovation? Yes, most Toronto contractors work in occupied homes. Set up a temporary kitchen with a microwave, kettle and mini fridge in another room. Ask the contractor about dust barriers and daily cleanup, and ask how many days the kitchen will be fully out of service.

What is the difference between design-build and a general contractor? A design-build company handles design and construction under one contract and one team. A general contractor builds from drawings someone else produced. Design-build gives you a single point of accountability when the finished kitchen does not match the drawing. All five companies on this list are design-build.

Which kitchen renovation company in Toronto is cheapest? Easy Renovation publishes the lowest starting figure of the five at $12,000. Two of the five, Kitchen & Bath and Lampert Renovations, do not publish ranges, so a low-end comparison against them is not possible without a quote. Get three quotes on the same written scope before comparing prices at all.

Do these companies handle condo kitchen renovations? Lampert Renovations and Easy Renovation both name condos as a service line, and Ashton Renovations takes on condo kitchens as well. Condo projects need board approval, proof of insurance and scheduled elevator access, so ask any contractor how many condo projects they completed in the past year.
