Kitchen Renovation in Laval
Concept Rénoplus renovates kitchens in Laval on a turnkey basis, from design to completion. In Laval, remodeling a kitchen within its existing layout does not require a municipal permit, whereas knocking down a wall or changing the room’s dimensions does. Depending on the scope of the project, a complete renovation generally costs between $30,000 and $50,000, and a high-end project involving structural changes often exceeds $60,000. A single project manager coordinates the cabinetmaker, plumber, electrician, and countertop installer. RBQ License 5876-6288-01.
Planning a kitchen renovation in Laval? Do you want to modernize your kitchen, add a kitchen island, or open up your living space? An on-site visit allows us to assess the building’s limitations, the design possibilities, and the approximate budget before moving forward.
A kitchen designed for your lifestyle
The kitchen involves more technical considerations than any other room: traffic flow, plumbing, ventilation, electrical wiring, storage, lighting, and clearances. A successful design, therefore, does not start with the color of the cabinet doors, but with the room’s actual use.
How many people cook at the same time? Where do you put your groceries when you get home? Do you need a large island, a dining area, or—most importantly—storage? The answers to these questions help shape the layout long before you select materials.
This approach applies to all of our projects, whether they involve kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations in Laval or basement renovations in Laval.
Why renovate your kitchen in Laval?
Opening up a closed-off kitchen to the living area
Much of the residential stock in Chomedey, Duvernay, Pont-Viau, and Laval-des-Rapides was built between 1960 and 1985. These bungalows and multi-level homes share a common design feature: a closed-off kitchen, separated from the living room by a partition that is often load-bearing, and lit by a single window.
Opening this wall completely transforms the ground floor, but the project is by no means merely decorative. It requires a properly sized beam, engineered supports, plans signed by an engineer, and a permit from the City of Laval. This is the type of project where hiring a licensed general contractor is not optional.
Highlight a key feature for buyers
The kitchen is one of the rooms that has the greatest impact on how a property is perceived. A renovation that is consistent with the home’s value enhances its resale appeal. The exact return on investment, however, depends on the market, the neighborhood, the quality of the finishes, and the actual cost of the work: no one can guarantee it in advance, and be wary of anyone who claims to do so.
Create a sustainable and compliant space
A sustainable kitchen depends just as much on what’s hidden from view as on the finishes: proper ventilation to the outside, dedicated circuits for appliances, electrical and plumbing work performed by the required licensed professionals, materials suited to humidity and heat, and hardware designed to last twenty years. The work is carried out in accordance with the Quebec Building Code.
Our Kitchen Renovation Services in Laval
On-site Assessment and 3D Design
Taking measurements, identifying hidden constraints, load-bearing walls, return columns, and electrical panel capacity, followed by project modeling. 3D design allows you to verify dimensions, clearances, and the overall layout before placing any orders—when making corrections still costs nothing.
Countertops and Surfaces
Quartz, granite, sintered surfaces, or high-pressure laminate, depending on the desired finish. Quartz remains the most popular choice in Laval due to its color stability and low-maintenance properties. The final measurements are taken once the cabinetry is in place, never based on a blueprint.
Floors, backsplashes, and finishes
A seamless floor between the kitchen and adjacent rooms, a ceramic or seamless backsplash, moldings, baseboards, and paint. The finishing touches are what set a decent kitchen apart from a flawless one.
Cabinetry and Woodworking
Cabinetry typically accounts for 40% to 50% of a kitchen’s budget. The design and materials—such as high-density melamine, polyester, thermoplastic, or wood—are chosen based on the intended use, the desired style, and the budget.
Plumbing, Electrical, and Ventilation
Relocating the sink, adding an island with a faucet, installing dedicated circuits for the oven and stovetop, installing a range hood vent, and installing under-cabinet lighting. Each regulated task is entrusted to a licensed professional with expertise in that specific field.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Laval?
The price varies depending on the square footage, cabinets, countertops, appliances, the level of finish, and, above all, the extent of modifications made to the plumbing, electrical system, or structure. The ranges below are planning guidelines based on market conditions in Quebec in 2026.
| Project Type | Estimated budget* | Examples of Projects |
|---|---|---|
| Resurfacing or Targeted Refresh | $7,000 to $12,000 | Replaced doors and facades; cabinets and layout retained |
| Basic Renovation | $18,000 to $25,000 | Original layout retained, more economical materials, limited technical work |
| Complete renovation, mid-range | $30,000 to $48,000 | Cabinetry, countertops, finishes, and upgrades to certain plumbing and electrical components |
| High-end project | $60,000 and up | High-end materials, large kitchen island, major modifications, or structural work |
Four factors drive up the cost more than the choice of materials: changes to the layout, relocating water outlets, upgrading the electrical panel, and cutting an opening in a load-bearing wall. These should be itemized separately in the quote so that you can make an informed decision.
Do you need a permit to renovate a kitchen in Laval?
It depends on the exact nature of the work, and the City of Laval draws a clear line.
No permit is required to renovate an existing kitchen while maintaining its layout. This includes replacing the cabinets, countertop, flooring, and backsplash; repairing existing plumbing or electrical wiring; replacing the electrical panel; and painting.
A permit is required as soon as the work changes the dimensions of the rooms, the number of rooms, or the building’s structure. This is the case if you tear down the wall between the kitchen and the living room, expand the kitchen into an adjacent room, or add an adjoining bathroom.
According to the City’s 2026 fee schedule, the permit costs $92 for the first $20,000 of the projected cost of the work, and then $2.50 per $1,000 increment or portion thereof additional. A recent location certificate is required, and projects involving structural work require plans signed by an engineer. The application must be submitted online through the City’s “Mon dossier” service, or in person at the Urban Planning Department, located at 1333 Chomedey Boulevard.
Municipal regulations are subject to change. Check with the [] to confirm the requirements that apply to your address and your project. City of Laval before work begins. We will explain the steps involved in your project during the assessment.

The areas of Laval we serve
Concept Rénoplus serves all areas of Laval: Chomedey, Duvernay, Pont-Viau, Laval-des-Rapides, Sainte-Rose, Auteuil, Vimont, Sainte-Dorothée, Fabreville, Laval-Ouest, Saint-François, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, and Laval-sur-le-Lac.
The scope of the projects mirrors that of the existing structures. In areas developed between 1960 and 1985, the focus is primarily on opening up the kitchen and adding storage space. In the more recent developments in Sainte-Dorothée, Fabreville, and Vimont, demand is focused more on the kitchen island, the layout, and the quality of finishes. In all cases, an on-site assessment takes precedence over any general neighborhood characteristics: it’s the building itself that determines the outcome.
We also work at Sainte-Thérèse, in Blainville and throughout Montreal’s North Shore.

2. Design and Material Selection
Kitchen layout planning, 3D modeling (when specified in the contract), and selection of cabinets, countertops, finishes, and appliances. Everything is approved before the order is placed.
3. Detailed Proposal and Timeline
A written document outlining the planned work, the main budget items, and a timeline tailored to the project. Now is the time to address contract issues, a topic we cover in detail in our article on How to Plan a Renovation Effectively.
4. Implementation and Coordination
Demolition, structural work (if necessary), plumbing, electrical work, drywall, painting, cabinets, countertops, and finishing touches, according to the agreed-upon scope of work. A single point of contact coordinates the sequence of trades.

What Our Clients Say
Kitchen Design and Installation in Laval and on the North Shore
Kitchens that open onto the living area, large kitchen islands, floor-to-ceiling cabinets, and solid-slab backsplashes. Every project in our portfolio was designed, coordinated, and completed by our team.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Laval?
A complete project typically takes 4 to 8 weeks of construction, starting with demolition. You’ll need to factor in the design phase, material selection, and cabinet fabrication, which often adds a few weeks. Cutting an opening in a load-bearing wall or ordering a custom countertop will extend the timeline. The exact dates for your project are outlined in the quote.
Can we stay in the house while the work is being done?
In most cases, yes. The level of inconvenience depends on the extent of the demolition, the dust, the noise, and any temporary disruption to the water supply or appliances. The days when demolition and sanding take place are the most disruptive. Temporary arrangements—including a service station and isolation of the work area—are planned during the assessment.
Do you need a permit from the City of Laval to remodel a kitchen?
No, if you keep the existing layout: replacing the cabinets, countertop, flooring, or backsplash—or redoing the existing plumbing and electrical wiring—does not require a permit. Yes, as soon as you change the dimensions of the rooms, the number of rooms, or the building’s structure—for example, by knocking down the wall between the kitchen and the living room. The permit costs $92 for the first $20,000 of work, plus $2.50 for each additional $1,000.
Is it possible to renovate just part of the kitchen?
Yes. Depending on the condition of the kitchen, it may be more cost-effective to keep the existing layout and certain elements, and then focus the budget on the cabinets, countertop, backsplash, flooring, or lighting. We’ll be honest with you about whether a partial renovation is a good investment in your case or if it’s better to wait and do the whole thing at once.
Is there a warranty on the work?
Concept Rénoplus holds RBQ license number 5876-6288-01, which can be verified in the Régie du bâtiment du Québec registry, and the regulated trades are licensed in their respective fields. The warranty terms applicable to your project are specified in the contract, and the materials retain their manufacturers’ warranties.
