The estimator adds four things: cabinets (per linear foot), countertops (per square foot), the flat-cost items you tick, and a regional labour adjustment. Tax is calculated separately because a great many contractor quotes are presented before tax.
Cabinets dominate the budget
On nearly every project, cabinets are the largest single line. The gap between melamine and solid wood often exceeds $15,000 on a medium-sized kitchen, which makes it the choice with the biggest effect on your total.
Keep the layout if the budget is tight
Moving the sink, range, or refrigerator means plumbing and electrical work, sometimes opening walls, and often a municipal permit. Keeping the existing layout is the most effective way to bring the cost down without compromising on materials.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cost
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Quebec?
Most full kitchen renovations in Quebec land between $20,000 and $60,000 before tax, depending on the size of the room, the cabinet material, and whether plumbing or electrical has to move. Cabinets are usually the single largest line in the budget.
What drives the price up the most?
Relocating plumbing, gas, or electrical circuits. Keeping the existing layout, with the sink, range, and refrigerator in place, is the single decision that reduces a project's cost the most.
Is tax included in contractor quotes?
Not always. In Quebec, GST (5%) and QST (9.975%) are added on top, roughly 15% of the total. Always ask whether a quote is before or after tax.
Should I check my contractor's RBQ licence?
Yes. In Quebec, a contractor performing construction work must hold a licence from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. You can verify the licence number free of charge in the RBQ public register before signing anything.
Does this estimator replace a quote?
No. It gives a realistic range for budgeting. A quote accounts for the actual condition of your kitchen, site access, the age of the building, and the exact materials you choose.
