Kitchen Renovation in Levis
What Levis's building stock means for your project, and what it actually costs.
What does a kitchen renovation cost in Levis?
For a medium-sized kitchen (roughly 18 linear feet of cabinetry), with thermoplastic cabinets, a quartz countertop, demolition, flooring, backsplash, lighting, and painting, tax included:
$19,600 – $40,100

Customise this estimateRefacing, full renovation or custom kitchen in Levis?
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.
$19,600 – $40,100
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:
$26,400 – $54,700
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 Levis as anywhere else.
Frequently asked questions — Levis
Is a newer house cheaper to renovate?
Often yes, because the risk of finding non-conforming wiring, asbestos, or plumbing needing replacement is lower. Unforeseen items account for a large share of budget overruns in older buildings.
