What to check before hiring a kitchen renovation company in Kitchener

Five things to confirm with any firm, on this list or not, before you sign. The rules below are Ontario's and Kitchener's.

  1. Registration with the WSIB

    Ask the firm for a clearance certificate from the WSIB, which confirms it is registered for workers' compensation and its account is in good standing. The certificate confirms the firm is registered with the WSIB and up to date on its premiums, so check its dates cover your job.

  2. Liability insurance

    Ask for a certificate of insurance that names the firm and shows commercial general liability coverage in force for the dates of your job, and check that the subcontractors it brings in are covered too.

  3. The building permit from Kitchener

    Building permits for homes in Kitchener come from the City of Kitchener, and moving walls, plumbing or gas lines, or adding circuits, usually needs one, while new cabinets and counters alone usually do not. Agree in writing who applies for the permit and books the inspections.

  4. A written contract

    Get the scope of work, the payment schedule tied to stages of the work, start and finish dates, how changes are agreed and priced, and who handles permits and cleanup, all in one signed contract before any work starts.

  5. The warranty

    A renovation is not a new home, so the new home warranty rules usually do not apply: get the firm's own workmanship warranty in writing, with what it covers and for how long. Renovators in RenoMark, the Canadian Home Builders' Association program, offer a minimum two-year warranty on their work.

Kitchen renovations in Kitchener: common questions

Should I hire a kitchen renovation firm or a cabinet company?

A cabinet company supplies and installs cabinets. A kitchen renovation firm runs the full project: demolition, plumbing and electrical changes, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters and finishing, with one contract and one schedule.

Do I need a permit to renovate a kitchen?

Not for new cabinets, counters and finishes in most cities. Removing walls, moving plumbing or adding electrical circuits usually needs a building permit and inspections. Your municipality decides, so ask the firm to confirm what the job needs.

What happens first in a kitchen renovation?

Design and measuring. The layout, cabinets and appliances are chosen before demolition, because cabinets and counters are made or ordered to fit the room. Then come demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, inspections where a permit is needed, drywall, cabinets, counters and finishing.

Can I keep my kitchen layout and change only the finishes?

Yes. Leaving the sink, range and fridge where they are avoids moving plumbing, gas lines and circuits, so the job is simpler and often needs no permit. New cabinet doors, counters, backsplash, lighting and flooring change the look without changing the layout.

How do I check that a contractor in Kitchener is registered with WSIB?

Ask the firm for a clearance certificate from the WSIB. The certificate confirms the firm is registered with the WSIB and up to date on its premiums, so check its dates cover your job.

Who issues building permits in Kitchener?

Building permits for homes in Kitchener come from the City of Kitchener. For kitchen renovation, moving walls, plumbing or gas lines, or adding circuits, usually needs one, while new cabinets and counters alone usually do not. Many firms apply for the permit as part of the job, so agree who does it before you sign.
