A Kitchen Renovation Is a Mechanical Project With a Design Wrapper
Cabinetry and countertops get the attention, but a kitchen renovation lives or dies on the electrical, plumbing, and ventilation behind them. We scope the mechanical work first, then build the design around a kitchen that actually functions for daily use.
Electrical Sized for Modern Appliances
Older GTA kitchens were wired for a different era of appliances. We assess panel capacity and circuit layout before finalizing your appliance plan, so you're not tripping breakers the first week.
Plumbing Moved With a Plan, Not a Guess
Relocating a sink or adding an island with plumbing means understanding what's actually running through the floor or wall first. We check before we commit to a layout.
Ventilation That Actually Vents Outside
A range hood that recirculates instead of venting outdoors does little for grease and moisture. We verify and correct venting as part of the scope, not as an afterthought.
Layout Built Around Real Use
Whether it's a full gut or a cabinet-and-counter refresh, we design the layout around your workflow — the way you actually cook, not just a showroom arrangement.
Why Beautiful Kitchen Renovations Underperform
A kitchen can look magazine-ready and still frustrate the homeowner within months — an undersized electrical panel that can't handle the new appliances, a range hood that doesn't actually vent outside, or plumbing moved without checking what else was routed through that wall. These are function failures hiding behind good design.
We Scope the Mechanicals Before We Finalize the Design
Every Reno Forge kitchen renovation starts with an assessment of electrical capacity, plumbing routing, and ventilation — written into your scope before cabinetry and countertop selections are finalized, so the kitchen performs as well as it photographs.

Kitchen Renovation FAQ
Can my electrical panel handle a modern kitchen renovation?
It depends on your home's existing panel and circuit layout — we assess this before finalizing your appliance plan, and any upgrade needed is priced into your written scope.
Can you move my kitchen sink or add an island with plumbing?
Yes, we check existing plumbing runs before committing to a new layout, so relocations are planned rather than guessed at mid-project.
Do you handle both full gut renovations and smaller refreshes?
Yes — from a full gut with layout changes to a cabinet-and-counter refresh that keeps the existing footprint, each gets a written scope specific to the work involved.
How long does a kitchen renovation typically take?
It depends on scope — a refresh moves faster than a full gut with electrical and plumbing changes. Your written scope includes a realistic timeline for your specific project.
Will I be able to use my kitchen at all during the renovation?
Access is limited during a full renovation, especially during demo and mechanical work. We'll walk through what to expect for your specific project before work begins.
