Kitchen Renovation in Scarborough

Kitchen renovation in Scarborough starts from $12,999 for smaller kitchens and ranges to $60,000 or more for large open concept builds with premium finishes. Most standard full kitchen renovations in Scarborough's bungalows, backsplits, and sidesplits fall between $25,000 and $45,000 when the layout stays intact. Projects involving structural changes to open the kitchen cost more depending on the scope. MD Kitchen provides a fixed all-inclusive written quote after a free site visit so you know the exact number before any work starts.

Most kitchen renovations in Scarborough are completed in 1 to 2 weeks from the first day of construction. MD Kitchen plans every material order, trade sequence, and site access requirement before demolition begins so construction runs without interruption.

Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, so all permit requirements are governed by the City of Toronto's Building Standards Division. Most standard kitchen renovations involving cabinet replacement, countertops, flooring, and backsplash do not require a permit. Work that typically requires a permit includes removing a load-bearing wall, relocating plumbing drain lines, or upgrading an electrical panel. MD Kitchen assesses your specific scope during the free site visit and advises on permit requirements at no additional charge. Where a permit is needed, we guide you through the City of Toronto process. Permit fees are paid directly to the City of Toronto by the homeowner. Official permit information is at toronto.ca.

Scarborough's older housing stock is dominated by bungalows, backsplits, and sidesplits, each with a distinct kitchen footprint. Bungalow kitchens are typically linear or L-shaped and work well with full-height cabinetry additions and countertop extensions that maximise the existing perimeter. Backsplit kitchens are often on a different level from the dining area, which creates an opportunity for an open plan connection via a half-wall or full wall removal. Sidesplit homes frequently have galley-style kitchen runs that respond well to extended island additions or peninsula configurations. Our team assesses every Scarborough kitchen individually during the free site visit and recommends the specific layout change, if any, that delivers the most functional and visual improvement for that property.

Yes. Open concept conversions are the most requested structural service in Scarborough's older housing stock. In bungalows and backsplits across Agincourt, Wexford, and Woburn, the wall between the kitchen and the adjacent living or dining space is often load-bearing. Our licensed in-house team handles the structural assessment, any beam or header installation, City of Toronto permit guidance where required, and the complete conversion from structural work through to framing, drywalling, and finishing. Nothing is subcontracted. One team manages every stage from initial assessment to final coat.

A kitchen refresh involves updating specific visible elements without changing the structure or layout: new cabinet doors, a countertop replacement, a fresh backsplash, or updated hardware. The bones of the kitchen stay in place. Cost is lower and disruption is shorter. A kitchen renovation is a more comprehensive transformation involving full cabinet replacement, layout changes, new flooring, tile, and trade work. In Scarborough's older housing stock where cabinetry is often original to the 1960s or 70s, a full renovation typically delivers a more durable result than a refresh because the underlying structure of the cabinetry is also replaced rather than just the surface.
