Kitchen renovations in Ottawa
WHAT WE DO
A fully guided kitchen renovation experience, from first concept to final reveal
A kitchen renovation is one of the most complex, most visible investments you'll make in your home. A successful project requires hundreds of decisions, careful coordination, and attention to every detail.
When you work with CPI Interiors, we take all of that off your plate.
We're a full-service interior design firm specializing in high-end kitchen renovations in Ottawa. That means we don't design your kitchen and hand you a floor plan to figure out the rest. We handle the design, coordinate the contractor, select every finish and fixture, and source the furnishings and lighting that make the space feel complete and cohesive.
One team. One point of contact. One kitchen that actually comes together even better than you imagined.
What makes a CPI kitchen renovation different
Most Ottawa kitchen renovation companies focus only on the kitchen. Finding a local firm that manages both design and build, as well as handles the furnishings and final styling on top of it, is genuinely rare.
That's what we do.
When you work with CPI Interiors, your dedicated lead designer oversees every aspect of the project and our involvement doesn’t end when the plans are complete.
We're coordinating with our trusted network of Ottawa trades and suppliers, managing timelines, reviewing finishes, and making sure every decision works together toward a single, cohesive result. Every decision is made with the whole home in mind, so your kitchen feels connected to the rest of your home.
Our clients are typically busy professionals and families who don't want to spend evenings and weekends managing a renovation. They want an amazing transformation, and they want a team they can trust to get it done.
If that sounds like you, we should talk.
Our kitchen renovation services always include:
Space planning and layout optimization
Kitchen and cabinetry design
Custom millwork specifications
Finish and material selections (countertops, tile, hardware, paint)
Lighting and plumbing fixture specifications
Appliance guidance and coordination
Contractor collaboration and regular site visits
Procurement and order management
Final styling and installation
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Ottawa?
We can't speak to the average kitchen renovation cost in Ottawa because we're not average. Renovations vary widely depending on the size of the space, whether walls are being moved, the level of finish, the cabinetry, appliances, and more.
Realistic ranges for our renovations typically fall within the following:
| Kitchen is contained and doesn't include other spaces | Starting at $100,000+ |
| Open concept kitchen (including family room, dining room, powder room, foyer, etc.) | Starting at $300,000+ |
| Entire home renovation including home furnishings | Starting at $500,000+ |
You will appreciate that we're transparent about investment ranges from the very first consultation. We'll walk through your home, talk through your goals, and give you a realistic picture of what your project will cost, often referencing past projects of similar scope. The goal is alignment early, so there are no surprises when it matters most. We believe that clear communication and strong organization are the foundation for successful construction projects.
Our clients choose us because they believe in our value, and trust we will deliver a kitchen that is both beautifully designed and well-managed.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most kitchen renovations in Ottawa take anywhere from two to five months depending on the scope of work, custom lead times, and contractor availability.
What slows most renovations down isn't the build time; it's lack of coordination. When decisions happen late, materials arrive in the wrong order, and nobody's managing the sequencing, timelines slip.
That's exactly what we prevent.
From the day you retain us, we're tracking lead times, coordinating trades, and keeping your project moving with intention. You'll always know where things stand, without needing to chase anyone down for updates.
Our kitchen renovation process
Every project is different. Our process isn't.
We start with a conversation about your home, your kitchen, and what you're hoping to change. This helps us understand the scope, answer your questions, and determine whether we're the right fit.
We tour the space together to see how it works now and how you want it to work. We go through your wish list, talk through your investment range, and often point out possibilities you hadn't considered. You leave with a clear sense of what's possible and a flat-rate design fee to move forward.
Our design team and trusted contractor partners take measurements, assess existing conditions, and review any structural or mechanical considerations before design development begins.
We develop the full kitchen design; layout, cabinetry, finishes, fixtures, lighting, and any furnishing or styling elements. Every selection is intentional, and every detail is resolved before anything gets ordered.
We walk you through the complete design and the key decisions needed to move forward. Our job is to give you clear recommendations and the confidence to approve them.
Once approved, we coordinate purchasing, contractor scheduling, deliveries, site visits, and all the behind-the-scenes logistics. We keep the project moving so you don't have to.
We go through every detail of your finished kitchen with you and your contractor, handle any last adjustments, and make sure the result is exactly what it should be.
