Kitchen Renovation in Richmond Hill
The kitchen is the hardest-working room in the house. We redesign the layout, then coordinate cabinetry, stone, plumbing, electrical and lighting so it comes together as one job. In Richmond Hill, the housing runs from older homes around Mill Pond to large executive houses in Bayview Hill and South Richvale.

Local knowledge
Kitchen Renovation in Richmond Hill.
Homes like these
Homes of this era have workable layouts but dated cabinetry, tile and fixtures, and often a wall between kitchen and family room that can come out.
Housing
In Richmond Hill, the housing runs from older homes around Mill Pond to large executive houses in Bayview Hill and South Richvale.
Permits
Building permits in Richmond Hill are issued by the City of Richmond Hill's building department. We prepare the drawings, submit the application and book the inspections.
Areas we cover
We work throughout Richmond Hill, including Oak Ridges, Bayview Hill, Mill Pond, South Richvale and Jefferson.
Oak Ridges Moraine
The northern part of Richmond Hill lies on the Oak Ridges Moraine, where additions and new buildings face extra environmental rules.
Larger homes
Many Richmond Hill houses are big enough that renovating in phases, floor by floor, is a realistic option.
Before you start
What to know.
Permits
Replacing cabinets and counters in the same layout usually needs no building permit. Removing a wall, moving plumbing or adding a gas line usually does, and electrical changes are filed with the Electrical Safety Authority.
Opening the kitchen up
Many GTA kitchens sit behind a load-bearing wall. Removing it is possible with an engineered beam and a permit, and it is the single change that most affects how the main floor feels.
Order of decisions
Appliances and the sink position should be chosen before cabinets are drawn, because every cabinet dimension depends on them.

Questions
Kitchen Renovation in Richmond Hill: the short answers.
- How much does kitchen renovation cost in Richmond Hill?
- With Zigma Group, kitchen renovation starts from $22,000, and most projects fall between $30,000 and $52,000. Prices are in Canadian dollars before HST, as of October 2026, and are confirmed after a site visit. The main factors are cabinetry: custom or semi-custom, and how much of it; countertop material and the size of the island; and whether walls, plumbing or gas lines move.
- Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and living room?
- In most houses, yes. If the wall carries load, an engineer designs a beam and posts to replace it and the work is done under a building permit. We check what the wall supports before giving you a plan.
- Do I need a permit to renovate a kitchen in Ontario?
- Not for a like-for-like replacement of cabinets, counters and fixtures. You usually need one if walls are removed or plumbing, gas or ventilation is moved. We confirm with your municipality.
