Making fully functional kitchen from the beginning to the end is not something you can do without preparation and professional help. We strongly recommend dealing with professional contractor like ALBO Renovations to avoid mistakes and situations that would dry out your pockets. If you are a homeowner you will be assisted by contractor in many steps of your kitchen renovation, but it does not mean they will do everything for you. You as a home owner have to make last decisions on how to proceed with work. We have listed below some tips for your kitchen renovation with or without using help of professionals.
Simply because you will hire ALBO Renovations or any other contractor with hundreds of similar jobs refer to, it does not mean they will do everything for you. If you don’t have design thought out and you are looking for company to share ideas, our designers will work with you, but the final decision will be yours at the end of the day. Before starting demolition and first stages of the job get everything planned out with designers and architect on paper. Event slight miscalculations and wrong measurements can lead to redoing big part of your renovation and ordering other counter top with kitchen cabinets.
Either you hire ALBO Renovations or want to do job yourself, our tip for kitchen renovation us to get prepared for work. It can start from arranging the space and access to the kitchen through the house. There will a lot of mess with dirt coming in from outside and dust from cutting and braking materials in your kitchen area. Cover all furniture and fixtures that you cannot move away for protection. Think of where you will store all your dishes for the time of project and how you will cook food. Maybe moving somewhere else could be a solution for you.
No matter how good of a designer you select and how well they pick colors and materials for you, the kitchen has to be functional. There has to be enough space to walk through between island and main counter space. All appliances have to be set up in proper positions to help you with cooking and prepping meals. No one likes tight kitchens, especially if you have to cook for family of more than 3 people. Design area of where you will sit down and enjoy your meals and chat with friends and family.
If you completely demolished your old kitchen and want to make different layout and design, consult about plumbing lines. Our next tip for kitchen renovation is not to move plumbing. Try to keep sink and other water lines for dishwasher where they were originally. The reason for that is nothing else but money. If you want your sink to relocate let’s say from counter space to an island, floor has to be broken to lay additional pipes and connect all plumbing. This easily will cost you extra few thousand dollars just to change the positions of connections.
One of the biggest mistakes home owners and inexperienced contractors do is inadequate lighting. If kitchen space is not open and natural light does not normally come in, you need to install more lights. Quality of lights put in matters as well. New bulbs that save electricity should be installed as money saver. Input designer lighting can be installed at the bottom of top cabinets. This will allow to position direct light towards countertop space. Don’t forget about adding light in distant corner from your main source of illumination. This will not play big on budget but can enhance your kitchen significantly.
The big chunk of your kitchen renovation budget will be directed towards upgrading all kitchen appliances. We recommend spending around $5000 – $7000 for new fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave and ventilation hood. New appliances make people jealous. All of them will definitely stand out from regular kitchens that others may compare to yours. You should not be looking for all best things but new and functional works perfectly fine. ALBO Renovations works together with the best and probably cheapest appliances supplier in Canada. Ask our designer to help you out selecting electronics for your kitchen and save money on great deals.

We wanted to renovate our basement for the longest time and now it time to start, but we were not sure about many details and needed help. Vlad suggested having their designer over and creating the drawings first. After about a week of going back and forth with revisions of layout and materials we decided to start with actual work from albo. They did exactly as scheduled and if a day was missed, they were able to catch up to the schedule by have an extra guy. Overall it was awesome experience and i would recommend these guys for their communication, quality of work and response to all questions you will have.
Since mid 2015 we started working with architect and builder company based in Etobicoke. It took us close to 1 year to finalize drawings, get all permits and build foundation with exterior walls. Now the plan was to hire a good company to finish the rest of the house. We interviewed few companies and Ivan from albo renovations was more professional in answering all questions and getting us proper schedule for all the steps of work. He was a coordinator and all question were directed through him. It was good experience and we like working with these guys. They also suggested us few better options for finishing materials in kitchen and bathrooms. Would work with them again!
Albo did a full gut, rebuild of our 2 story home in the High Park area. The entire home was redesigned from top to bottom including a large opening in the back, a high cathedral ceiling and meticulous finishings.
Albo exceeded our expectations. We want to thank Ivan S and his team for their dedication to detail, quality and getting the job done on a timely basis. It’s hard to find a contractor you can trust. We highly recommend Albo for your next project.
Hi, wanted to put a great review for Albo renovations for project they did for us. It was a home addition and full reno with underpinning to our almost 100 years old house downtown that is not split into 3 different units. Only amazing things to be said about this company.
These guys have done lots of work in the area and have signs on street. I called them to take a look at my basement and they gave me a quote, which was more than I actually paid in the end. Ivan was communicating with me through out the project and was answering all my questions. They finished in about 1 month and I am very happy with work they did for my basement.
I contacted Vlad to plan ahead my condo bathroom renovation. I new there had to be some work done even before i bought it and i had time to call few different contractors. Albo contractors were fastest to show up and give me the ideas for my new bathroom. It was not long and we were able to book the elevator in time for all deliveries. Great job guys!
Our friends who recently had renovations done by ALBO recommended them to us. They said they would be the perfect company to manage our projects knowing that we often travel for work and cant be around as much. After reading reviews and doing research, we noticed they also won some award for top renovations company in Toronto for their services and together with seeing our friends new place we knew we were making the right decision in hiring them! Even though we were out of the city most of the time, they stayed on top of the details we required for our finishes and always before any installation and purchases double checked with us to make sure its our final decision. With our work schedule being hectic they really eased our minds with the renovation process and provided us constant updated pictures of the different stages of the work completed. We came back just before the final coat of paint was applied, and wow, we had to double check we came into the right address! The change was incredible, thanks again!
ALBO Renovations worked on our home renovation for 4 months and what a fun and exciting 4 months it was for me and my husband!!! Our in person meetings in which we decided where everything will be really made us feel involved. What stands out most is our decisions for the customized kitchen with white cabinets, darker countertop and backsplash, and the amount of potlights. The whole combination looks fantastic!!! We had a headache when the tiles we choose we didnt end up liking and wanted to stick with hardwood flooring and ALBO was able to fix the issue without any problems! Thanks once again!!!
First floor renovation and kitchen upgrade at my house. They were suggested by underpinning company we used. Checked out all reviews for albo and after initial estimate we just went ahead. Fast performance and kitchen was made the way we wanted. Perfect finishings
