“Looked brand new in four days”
Our 1998 oak cabinets were painted a soft white and the island went navy. Four days, no dust in the house, and the finish is smoother than factory doors. Neighbours thought we bought a new kitchen.Priya & Mark S. · Mississauga, ON
“Half the price we were quoted elsewhere”
Refacing plus new quartz counters came in at about half of what two renovators quoted for replacement. The designer suggested glass inserts on the uppers — best idea of the whole project.Danielle R. · Calgary, AB
“Showed up when they said they would”
Honestly the communication was the best part. Text the night before, arrived at 8:00 sharp, cleaned up every evening. The crew treated our home like it was their own.Gérard L. · Laval, QC
“They fixed what the last contractor left”
We had a half-finished backsplash from someone who disappeared. Just Kitchen Upgrade sorted the tile, re-hung two doors and painted the lot in a week. Zero drama.Hannah W. · Halifax, NS
“Worth every dollar of the financing”
We used the monthly plan and had the kitchen done before our baby arrived. Pull-out organizers in every lower cabinet — I use them twenty times a day.Amrit & Jas K. · Surrey, BC
“Our realtor said it added real value”
Painted cabinets, new hardware and a quartz top before we listed. The listing photos popped and we sold in six days over asking.Steve M. · Winnipeg, MB
Smarter than a gut renovation
What is a kitchen upgrade — and why do more Canadians choose it over a full renovation?
A kitchen upgrade refreshes the surfaces you see and touch every day — cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting and hardware — while keeping your existing layout, plumbing and electrical in place. Because nothing structural moves, most projects finish in days instead of months, cost 40–70% less than a tear-out renovation, and you can keep cooking at home throughout.
Just Kitchen Upgrade is built around that idea. Every one of our locally owned teams follows the same proven sequence: cabinets first (painting, refacing, redooring or new custom boxes), then walls and ceiling, countertops and sink, flooring if needed, appliances reconnected, backsplash, and finally lighting and finishing details. You get a designer, a written fixed-price quote, a dedicated crew and a workmanship warranty — wherever you are in Canada.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does a kitchen upgrade cost in Canada?
Most Just Kitchen Upgrade projects land between $4,500 and $25,000 depending on size and scope. Cabinet painting for a typical 10×10 kitchen starts around $4,500–$7,500; refacing with new doors runs $9,000–$16,000; a full surface makeover with counters, backsplash and flooring is usually $15,000–$30,000. A full tear-out renovation of the same kitchen often costs $40,000–$70,000. Your designer gives a fixed, itemised price at the free consultation.
How long will my kitchen be out of action?
Rarely at all. Cabinet painting takes 3–5 days, redooring 2–3, refacing 4–6 and a full makeover 1–3 weeks. Because we don’t move plumbing or walls, your sink and stove are usable most evenings and you can stay in your home throughout.
Is painting cabinets really durable, or will it chip?
Done properly, yes — it’s as durable as a factory finish. We degrease, de-gloss, repair, prime with a bonding primer and spray a catalysed cabinet lacquer in a controlled booth, never brushed on-site. That process is why we can back it with a workmanship warranty.
Which service is right for my cabinets?
If the boxes and doors are sound and you want a new colour, choose painting. If doors are dated or damaged but boxes are good, choose redooring (new doors only) or refacing (new doors plus matching veneer on the boxes). If the layout doesn’t work or boxes are failing, custom cabinets are the better long-term investment. Your designer will tell you honestly which one fits.
Do you serve my area?
Just Kitchen Upgrade has locally owned teams in every Canadian province and territory, from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador and across the North. Enter your postal code in the form above and we’ll connect you with the nearest crew.
Do you handle permits, and are you insured?
Surface upgrades normally don’t require permits. When electrical or gas work does (new circuits, relocated outlets), our licensed trade partners pull them and arrange inspection. Every location carries liability insurance and provincial workers’ compensation coverage.
