How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Ottawa?

Kitchen renovation costs in Ottawa vary widely with size, cabinetry and how much layout changes. Here's a realistic 2026 breakdown.

Typical price ranges

• Refresh (cabinet paint or refacing, new counters, fixtures, lighting): $25,000–$45,000.
• Mid-range remodel (new semi-custom cabinets, quartz counters, backsplash, appliances): $45,000–$85,000.
• High-end / custom (custom cabinetry, premium finishes, structural or layout changes): $85,000+.

What drives the cost

Cabinetry is usually the single biggest line item, followed by counters and appliances. Removing a load-bearing wall for an open concept adds structural and electrical work. Relocating plumbing or gas, and the quality of finishes, move the number most.

Is it worth it?

Kitchens are consistently among the highest-return renovations at resale, and the room families use most day to day — which is why it pays to plan the layout and budget carefully before any demolition.
