The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Renovations in Vancouver: Costs, Trends, and Expert Tips (2025)



The Ultimate Guide To A Stress-Free Kitchen Renovation | Kitchen Makeovers


Your kitchen isn’t just a place to cook — it’s where your family gathers, your mornings start, and your home’s value grows. In a city like Vancouver, where design and lifestyle go hand in hand, a kitchen renovation can completely transform your space while adding major resale value.


Whether you’re planning a modern condo update in Burnaby, expanding a family kitchen in Coquitlam, or upgrading a heritage home in North Vancouver, this guide by Aftermath Contracting covers everything you need to know before you start.




💰 How Much Does a Kitchen Renovation Cost in Vancouver?


The cost of a kitchen renovation in Vancouver varies widely, but on average:




  • Basic remodel: $25,000 – $40,000




  • Mid-range renovation: $45,000 – $70,000




  • High-end or custom kitchen: $80,000 – $120,000+




Several factors affect cost:




  • Size of the space




  • Type of cabinetry and countertops




  • Appliance upgrades




  • Plumbing and electrical work




  • Labour and permits




At Aftermath Contracting, we pride ourselves on transparent quotes — no hidden costs, no surprise fees, and complete clarity from design to completion.




🧱 Top Kitchen Renovation Trends in Vancouver for 2025




  1. Sustainable Materials & Eco-Friendly Finishes
    Vancouver homeowners are embracing sustainability. Think bamboo flooring, quartz countertops, and water-efficient faucets.




  2. Warm Minimalism
    White kitchens are fading — 2025 is all about natural wood tones, matte textures, and earthy color palettes that create a cozy, timeless look.




  3. Open Concept with Purpose
    While open kitchens remain popular, homeowners are adding smart zoning — using lighting, color, and layout to define cooking and dining areas.




  4. Hidden Storage & Smart Design
    Custom pull-out drawers, corner solutions, and under-island storage maximize space and convenience — perfect for Vancouver condos.




  5. Smart Technology
    From voice-controlled lights to smart ovens, integrating tech makes your kitchen both functional and future-ready.






🧰 How to Plan a Successful Kitchen Remodel


Renovating a kitchen is one of the biggest investments a homeowner can make. Here’s how to plan it right:


1️⃣ Set a Realistic Budget


Include not just materials and labour, but permits, appliances, and contingency (about 10–15% for surprises).


2️⃣ Hire a Trusted Vancouver Contractor


A reputable contractor like Aftermath Contracting ensures your renovation meets BC building codes and stays on schedule.


3️⃣ Choose Timeless Design Over Trendy


Trends fade fast. Opt for durable materials and colors that stay stylish for years.


4️⃣ Think Function First


Before picking tiles or handles, plan how you’ll use your space. Do you cook daily? Entertain often? Small details like layout flow matter most.


5️⃣ Focus on Lighting


Vancouver’s winters can feel dark — great lighting (under-cabinet LEDs, pendant fixtures) instantly changes the feel of a space.
