Kitchen Renovations

What a Kitchen Renovation With Habermehl Includes

Kitchen renovation work can include layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, backsplash, lighting, plumbing, electrical, ventilation and appliance planning. Every decision should support how you cook, gather and move through the room each day.

Thoughtful workflow reduces the distance between preparation, cooking, cleanup and storage, while seating and sightlines connect the kitchen with nearby living areas. Changes extending into adjoining rooms may be treated as a larger home renovation.

Layout & Workflow

Storage, prep, cooking, cleanup and gathering are planned as one connected path through the room.

Craftsmanship Where the Details Meet

Kitchen projects bring a lot of visible details together. Cabinetry, tile, lighting, surfaces and finish work need to line up with the underlying plan, so the final room feels intentional rather than assembled one decision at a time.

What Affects the Cost of a Kitchen Renovation

Kitchen renovation costs vary with the size of the room, how much the layout changes, the cabinetry and surfaces selected, the finish level, and whether plumbing, electrical, ventilation or structural work is involved.

Because those variables can significantly change the work involved, Habermehl does not publish one price for every kitchen. A project-specific estimate follows the consultation and planning needed to understand the room and the project.

Room Size & Layout Larger rooms and bigger layout changes can increase the work involved.

Renovation plans and measuring tools used during project planning

Cabinetry & Surfaces Cabinetry, counters and surface selections are major cost drivers.

Systems & Structure Plumbing, electrical, ventilation or structural changes can add complexity.

Exposed wall framing and building services during renovation work

Finish Level Flooring, tile, fixtures and finish choices can move the project cost.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff and Luke were exceptional to work with and made our backyard suite build come to fruition without stress. The layout they came up with was genius and made the best use of the small space. The quality of the build was great and overall we were pleased that the timeline and budget was close to what we had initially discussed (with some variation as to be expected with any construction). I would not hesitate to reach out to Habermehl again for a future project or to recommend them to friends/family/clients.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Habermehl build my bathroom pretty much from scratch. They ordered the shower I wanted and worked with the contractors I had already enlisted to do the vanity and tiling. The project manager kept me informed sometimes every day and definitely on Fridays to give me a schedule of what was to happen the next week. Super people - thorough and attentive to details. I’d definitely recommend them 100% !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our kitchen and living room access remodeled by Habermehl and could not be happier with the final product. We had a great project manager who managed to get us set before Christmas on a tight timeline. Their on site workers were all fabulous and their sub contractors were too. Id trust them again in a heartbeat.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did an extensive renovation with Habermehl in 2025. We added a renovation, did structural work, and mostly gutted the interior. We were really happy with the design process through Habermehl. The Habermehl crew were excellent to work with throughout the project. We were happy with the end-product! I would recommend Habermehl.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We partnered with the Habermehl team on a major renovation for our business, Crossroads Counselling & Psychological Services. The project involved transforming a 2,000 sq. ft. former school building — originally three large classrooms — into a nine-office mental health facility.

Habermehl provided thoughtful and practical guidance throughout the process, including expert recommendations on soundproofing to ensure the highest level of confidentiality for our clients.

I truly appreciated that I could count on the Habermehl team to listen, collaborate, and consistently do the right thing. Their project team and reliable network of trades helped us complete the renovation on time and on budget.

The result is a welcoming, purpose-built space that allows us to serve our clients in an environment that feels safe, comfortable, and supportive of their mental health.

They helped us design our addition and then bring it to life with professionalism, friendliness, and expert knowledge. They clearly care both about the quality of their work and their customers. Communication throughout was top notch. Happy to recommend them.

Kitchen Renovations FAQs

What is included in a kitchen renovation?

Kitchen renovations can range from targeted upgrades to a full reconfiguration. Habermehl can coordinate cabinetry, surfaces, lighting, appliances and required plumbing or electrical changes around how you want the room to function.

Can the layout of my kitchen be changed?

Potentially. Layout changes depend on the existing structure, plumbing, electrical, ventilation and how the surrounding rooms connect. Those conditions are reviewed before the design is finalized.

What affects the cost of a kitchen renovation?

Major cost drivers include the project size, cabinetry and surface selections, layout changes, building-system work and the condition of the existing space.

How long does a kitchen renovation take?

There is no single timeline that fits every kitchen. Project complexity, approvals, material selections, layout changes and site conditions all affect the schedule. A tailored timeline can be established after planning.

Do kitchen renovations require permits in HRM?

Permit and inspection requirements depend on the work being completed. Structural changes and some plumbing, electrical or other building work may require approvals, which are confirmed during planning.
