Vancouver homeowners considering a kitchen renovation in 2026 can now access a detailed cost guide tailored to the Shaughnessy, Point Grey, and Kerrisdale neighbourhoods. Published by 4Local Homes, the guide provides realistic budget ranges to help homeowners plan effectively before engaging designers or contractors.
In Shaughnessy, where high-value detached homes are common, a mid-to-high-range kitchen renovation with custom cabinets, stone countertops, premium appliances, and potential structural changes typically costs between $90,000 and $180,000. The guide emphasizes that choosing lower-grade materials may reduce upfront costs but can diminish long-term property value in this prestigious area.
For Point Grey and Kerrisdale, a thorough kitchen upgrade—including new cabinets, quartz or stone countertops, tile backsplash, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, and hardwood floor refinishing—generally falls between $55,000 and $120,000. The largest variable is the cabinet package: semi-custom cabinets from local suppliers range from $18,000 to $35,000, while full custom millwork can cost $35,000 to $75,000 or more for a complete kitchen.
For comparison, similar mid-range renovations in Burnaby and North Vancouver typically cost $40,000 to $85,000. While material costs are similar across Metro Vancouver, the expected finish level, property value, and layout complexity significantly influence the final budget in each neighbourhood.
Timelines are also addressed: a permit-required kitchen renovation in Vancouver or Burnaby takes approximately 6 to 10 weeks from permit approval to completion. Cabinet lead times are a major factor—semi-custom cabinets require 4 to 8 weeks, while full custom millwork may take 8 to 14 weeks. Permit processing adds several weeks depending on the municipality and scope of work.
