We have already renovated a kitchen in Bradford, and it looked a lot like yours
Most Bradford kitchens came from the same handful of builders, and after fifteen or twenty years they age the same way.
The cabinet doors were the cheapest line in the builder’s spreadsheet, the counters are laminate or entry granite, and the lighting is one flush mount doing its best. The layout underneath is usually fine. That matters, because when the sink, stove and fridge can stay where they are, your budget goes into cabinets and counters instead of into moving pipes.
We build cabinetry in our own Markham facility, about forty minutes from Bradford, on German and Italian equipment. That is the difference between waiting on a dealer’s queue and controlling the longest lead time in the whole project ourselves. It is also why a fully custom kitchen from us often prices where semi custom does elsewhere.

What a kitchen renovation costs in Bradford
2026 figures from our own completed projects, before 13% HST. The full breakdown lives in our kitchen renovation cost guide.
The short version: a cosmetic refresh runs $15,000 to $25,000, a mid range full renovation runs $25,000 to $60,000, and a custom kitchen with layout changes runs $60,000 to $150,000 or more. Cabinets take 30 to 40 percent of any kitchen budget, which is why the cabinet decision matters more than every other choice combined.
| Cabinet route | Per linear foot | Typical kitchen, 20 to 30 linear ft |
|---|---|---|
| Stock cabinets | $400 to $500 | $8K to $15K |
| Semi custom | $450 to $650 | $9K to $20K |
| Fully custom, our facility | $650 to $1,200 | $13K to $36K |
Counters, flooring and appliances stack on top of the cabinets. Quartz remains the Bradford favourite at $90 to $150 per linear foot installed, and most families land between $3,000 and $8,000 for counters and backsplash together.

Pick your kitchen size and how far you want to go. It runs the same 2026 bands as our kitchen cost guide and adds the 13% HST, because that is the number that actually leaves your account.
Cosmetic $150 to $250, mid range $250 to $400, custom $500 to $1,000 per square foot of kitchen. Ranges reflect completed Senso Design kitchens across the GTA and Simcoe County.

Permits, gas lines and the other fine print
- Same layout, no permit. New cabinets, counters, backsplash and flooring in the existing footprint normally need no Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury permit at all.
- Moving things wakes up the paperwork. Relocating the sink, moving a gas line, adding circuits or taking out a wall brings a BWG permit, and gas work is licensed trade territory every time.
- We pull the permit in our name and handle every inspection, so the building inspector never calls you.
- Induction is the sleeper cost. Switching from gas to an induction range needs a dedicated 240 volt circuit, usually $500 to $1,500, and more if the panel is full.
- Islands need real planning. Power in an island is code, and plumbing in an island means routing drains below the floor, which is where budgets move.
- Timeline is honest at 3 to 5 weeks of construction in the existing layout, with cabinet fabrication running 4 to 8 weeks before demolition day.

“Another contractor quoted me a lot less.“
Ask what the cabinet allowance actually is, whether the counters are quartz or a placeholder, and whether HST is in the number. Most of the gap between two kitchen quotes lives in those three answers.
We also offer renovation financing up to $100,000, with an online application and a quick credit decision.

Senso Design holds a 4.9 star rating across 115+ Google reviews, plus Best of HomeStars five years running and Best of Houzz in 2025 and 2026.
An excellent kitchen renovation from design through execution. The teams were well coordinated, small issues were resolved quickly, and the final cost matched the original quote.
Mark patiently explained everything to us, from planning, design, choices of materials and timeline. Everything went extremely well, and the finished product looks fantastic.
We did a major renovation, kitchen, multiple baths, family room, and still love the work they did. From incorporating new ideas to sticking to budget and timelines, they were on point.

Bradford kitchen questions, answered
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Bradford?
A cosmetic refresh runs $15,000 to $25,000, a mid range full renovation runs $25,000 to $60,000, and a custom kitchen with layout changes runs $60,000 to $150,000 or more, before HST. A standard 10×10 kitchen lands at $25,000 to $45,000 for a proper mid range job. Cabinets take 30 to 40 percent of whatever you spend, which is why that decision matters most.
Is $30,000 enough for a kitchen in Bradford?
Yes, if the layout stays where it is. $30,000 covers semi custom cabinets, quartz counters and new flooring in a typical Bradford kitchen, and it looks far more expensive than it was. What $30,000 will not survive is moving the sink or taking out a wall. Plumbing and structure push budgets past $60,000 quickly.
Should I reface my builder cabinets or replace them?
If the boxes are square and solid, refacing with new doors, panels and hardware saves real money and looks excellent. A lot of 2000s builder boxes are worth keeping. If the boxes are sagging, water damaged or laid out badly, replacement is the honest answer, and because we build cabinets in our own facility, the jump to full custom is smaller than most people expect.
Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen in Bradford?
Not for a same layout renovation. New cabinets, counters and flooring in the existing footprint need no permit. A Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury permit kicks in when you move plumbing, relocate a gas line, add circuits or remove a wall. We pull permits in our own name and handle the inspections.
Can I get an island in my Bradford kitchen?
Usually, and it is the most requested change we hear in this town. The honest checklist is clearance, you want about a metre of walkway around it, power, which code requires in the island, and plumbing, which is the expensive part because drains have to run below the floor. An island with seating and no sink is the budget friendly version that most kitchens can take.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Three to five weeks of construction in the existing layout, or six to ten with structural work. Cabinet fabrication runs four to eight weeks before demolition starts, and because the cabinets come from our own facility, that clock is under our control. Most families stay in the house with a temporary kitchen set up in the basement or dining room.
Do you actually work in Bradford?
Yes. There is a completed Bradford kitchen in our project archive with the full photo set, another ten minutes away on Yonge Street in Holland Landing, and a third in Newmarket. Our facility is in Markham, about forty minutes from Bradford, so our own crews and our own cabinets make the trip without drama.
Do you offer fixed price quotes?
Yes. You get a line itemized fixed price before any contract is signed, with a real cabinet allowance rather than a placeholder, and that is the price you pay on completion day. Changes only happen through a written change order you approve first. Financing up to $100,000 is available.
