Custom Kitchen Renovations in Calgary

LBProjects completes kitchen renovations throughout Calgary, from focused upgrades to full-gut remodels and open-concept main-floor transformations. Projects can include custom cabinetry, islands, quartz countertops, backsplashes, flooring, appliance integration, plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, ventilation and layered lighting.


When a kitchen renovation involves removing walls or changing the existing layout, we can coordinate structural engineering, beam and post requirements, framing, permits and the appropriate trades. Our goal is to create a kitchen with better workflow, practical storage and finishes designed around how the homeowners cook, gather and use the space every day.

Calgary Kitchen Renovation Services

We manage complete kitchen renovations from demolition through final finishing. Projects can include layout changes, framing, plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, ventilation, drywall, flooring, custom cabinetry, countertops, backsplash tile, painting and appliance installation.
Custom cabinetry can include full-height uppers, deep drawer bases, pantry cabinets, appliance panels, pull-outs, integrated waste storage, floating shelves, custom range hood surrounds and purpose-built millwork designed around the kitchen layout.
We coordinate quartz and other approved countertop materials, waterfall island panels, undermount sinks and backsplash installations using porcelain, ceramic, stone or slab materials selected to suit the kitchen design and daily use.
Kitchen renovations can require dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI-protected receptacles, recessed LED lighting, pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, receptacle relocation and electrical planning around the final cabinetry and appliance layout.
When opening a kitchen into adjoining spaces, LBProjects can coordinate structural engineering, wall removal, LVL, built-up wood or steel beam requirements, posts, framing, drywall repairs and flooring transitions.

Full Kitchen Renovation vs. Kitchen Refresh

The right scope depends on what needs to change. Some Calgary kitchens need a complete layout redesign with new cabinetry, plumbing, electrical and structural work, while others can be significantly improved by keeping the existing footprint and updating the finishes.

How LBProjects Manages Your Kitchen Renovation

Kitchen renovations require careful coordination between demolition, structural work, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile and appliance installation. The LBP Renovation Roadmap gives homeowners a clear process for planning and sequencing each stage of the project.


Before construction begins, we establish the scope, selections, trade requirements and schedule. During construction, your project manager coordinates trades, material deliveries, inspections, cabinetry and countertop installation, site quality and communication through final deficiencies.

Kitchen Renovation Costs & FAQs in Calgary

Kitchen pricing depends on cabinet scope, countertops, appliances, layout changes, structural work and plumbing or electrical changes. LBProjects prepares an itemized proposal using the measured scope, selections and trade pricing. Confirm allowances, exclusions and GST before approving work.
Custom cabinetry is often one of the largest components of a kitchen renovation budget. Other significant costs can include countertops, appliances, structural work, plumbing and electrical changes, flooring, tile and finish selections.
The construction schedule depends on the confirmed scope, approvals, material lead times, trade coordination and existing conditions. We agree on the project-specific sequence before construction and discuss changes as work progresses.
Yes. LBProjects coordinates custom kitchen cabinetry designed around the room dimensions, appliance locations, storage requirements and overall design. Options can include full-height uppers, drawer bases, pantry storage, appliance panels, custom islands, floating shelves and range hood surrounds.
Not necessarily. LBProjects can help coordinate the design and selection process as part of the renovation, and for projects requiring specialized design, architectural or engineering services we can coordinate the appropriate professionals. If you already have an interior designer, we are also happy to collaborate with them during planning and construction.
If you are changing the structural layout, moving electrical panels, or altering plumbing stacks, the City of Calgary requires a permit. As part of our comprehensive service, LBProjects handles all permitting, inspections, and safety compliance for you.
Yes. When a kitchen renovation involves removing or modifying a load-bearing wall, LBProjects can coordinate a structural engineer to specify the required beam, posts, bearing points and connections. Depending on the design, support may include LVL, built-up wood or steel beams along with the required framing, permits and inspections.
Yes. Full kitchen renovations often involve relocating sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators, ranges, receptacles and lighting. LBProjects coordinates licensed plumbing and electrical trades to complete the required supply, drainage, venting, wiring and circuit changes.
The final layout should account for appliance dimensions, plumbing locations, electrical requirements, ventilation, clearances, storage needs and countertop details before cabinetry is ordered. Coordinating these elements early helps reduce conflicts during installation.

What affects the cost of a kitchen renovation?

Cabinet quantity and construction, countertop selection, appliance changes and the existing layout all affect the budget. Moving plumbing, upgrading electrical service or removing walls changes the scope beyond a finish refresh. We prepare an itemized proposal after reviewing your kitchen and selections; a photo or room size alone is not a construction quote.

What shapes your scope

  • Cabinetry, storage, hardware and interior accessories
  • Countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet and appliance allowances
  • Layout, wall removal, engineering and making good adjacent finishes
  • Plumbing, lighting, outlets, ventilation and trade permits

Permits and inspections

Structural alterations and changes to wall openings can require building approval. Electrical installations and changes to plumbing can require separate trade permits. We identify the applicable work during scope development.

Check current City of Calgary requirements

Permit guidance checked October 14, 2026. Requirements depend on the property and proposed work.

From our clients

β€œWe hired LB Projects for our kitchen and dining room renovation. They had great communication from the beginning and completed the renovation within the quoted time frame. Their work is exceptional and we are very happy with the final product. LB Projects will stand behind their work well after they’re finished.”

Kaylie Wilson

β€œWe recently had LBProjects renovate our outdated 1970s townhome, and we couldn’t be happier. Their team was professional, efficient, and flexible, making the whole process smooth, even when we requested changes. The quality of their work speaks for itself and we already plan to use LBProjects again for our full kitchen renovation! 10/10 experience!”
