Main Floor and Kitchen Remodelling Cost | Largest Kitchen Island
January 5, 2023
Remodeling Project
Start of the Adventure
The renovation project started with engaging all stakeholders and meeting a few times to draft
the initial project ideas/design. A beautiful large open space concept with the largest island we
have been ever designed and built., along with smart lighting system (TP Link provided by
www.Supply2Go.ca) and multi room audio system (www.Supply2Go.ca). Obviously, any
renovation comes with many unknowns, uncertainties, distance jobs, and so on. To start, this
renovation project involved removing many walls on the main floor. As a result, an engineer got
hired (https://www.permitman.ca) to check the structure and give us the green light for removing
the walls, the non-load-bearing walls of course!
Time to Gut
It is renovation time and everyone likes to hold the sledgehammer, give it a swing and break the
walls, cabinets, and everything else down. But we had to hold tight for Habitat for Humanity to
remove the cabinets in the kitchen, they took their time to safely remove countertops and kitchen
cabinets. After making sure all electric and water lines are safe, the battle of demolition started!
Unknowns
I am not aware of any renovation projects with no unknowns. Demolition is done and this is
when one realizes that the plumbing, electrical, heat registers, return ducts, central vacuum, and
others need to get modified to be able to execute the new design. It is always fun finding
solutions to the issues at this stage. Renovation projects are all about that: troubleshooting. And
ADH Canada is good at that. Please check out our other project stories at

- Some of the Troubleshooting Fun Moments
- Drainage Issue
- o The customer had been complaining about the drain for the kitchen sink.
- o We realized the problem right after the demolition phase.
- o Our plumber came up with the solution which cost us two extra days of work! But
- it was worth it.
- Central Vacuum & Air Return
- o A central vacuum is always an easy fix in most of renovation projects, as it does
- not require keeping the slope as accurate as a drainage system.
- o And air return rerouting was a breeze too.
- Fireplace
- o The customer had envisioned a beautiful gas fireplace which involve many bits
- and pieces. Such as redesigning the wall, the crown, custom built wood mantel,
- along with irregular shape stone around it.
- o All turned out beautiful but we had to put lots of thoughts to it to make it happen.
