Kitchen Cabinet Installation and Modification
Cabinet installation and limited fitting changes depend on wall support, room geometry and appliance clearances before the first unit is fixed.
Kitchen Renovations in Ottawa
Cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, and finishes affect one another. Renovation1 reviews the existing layout and selected products so the estimate can identify the connected work and unresolved choices.

Project examples
Modifying Existing Kitchen Cabinets
Keeping existing cabinets can be practical when the boxes are sound and the proposed appliance or storage change fits the structure.
Tile and Backsplash Installation
Tile layout, substrate and edge details matter as much as tile choice, especially where splash exposure changes the assembly.

Common questions
- Should I choose cabinets before requesting an estimate?
- Share product links, drawings, or dimensions if available. If selections are still open, describe the intended layout and finish so the missing decisions can be identified.
- Can the layout change?
- A proposed layout change needs review of measurements, access, structure, and connected services. Do not assume structural, electrical, plumbing, or permit responsibilities are included until they are confirmed.
