Customise this estimateRefacing, full renovation or custom kitchen in Drummondville?
Three very different projects all go by "kitchen renovation". The right one depends mostly on the condition of your cabinet boxes and what you want to change.
Refacing
The existing cabinet boxes stay; the doors, drawer fronts and hardware are replaced, often along with the countertop. It is the fastest and cheapest option, provided the boxes are sound: no swelling under the sink, no sagging shelves.
What it does not fix: a layout that does not work, or particleboard boxes damaged by water.
Full renovation
New cabinets, countertop, backsplash, flooring and lighting, installed, without moving the plumbing. This is the scenario priced above.
$18,700 – $38,400
Moving the sink or the range comes on top of this.
Custom kitchen
Cabinets built for the room by a kitchen maker or cabinetmaker. For the same medium kitchen in solid wood, with a quartz countertop:
$25,200 – $52,400
Custom work pays off mostly in rooms with irregular dimensions, common in older buildings, or when every centimetre of storage counts.

Verify the RBQ licence before you sign
In Quebec, a contractor performing construction work must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. The RBQ register is public and free: search the company name or licence number before paying a deposit. It is the fastest and most useful check you can make, in Drummondville as anywhere else.
Frequently asked questions — Drummondville
Does custom always cost more than ready-to-assemble?
Not always. Custom becomes competitive when the room has awkward dimensions, because it avoids filler panels and uses every centimetre. In a standard-sized kitchen, ready-to-assemble is generally still cheaper.
