Meet OakPine
OakPine has been designing and building kitchens in Burlington for over five decades, supported by our trusted local tradespeople and a client list that continues to grow by referral and reputation.
Over the years, we have always been on the cutting-edge of design trends. We consistently recognize and adopt changes to style, but no homeowner ever becomes a “trial-and-error” project – we do our own experimentation separately. Our services instill confidence, comfort, reliability and peace of mind.
Burlington homes are our specialty – from the post-war bungalows south of Lakeshore, to the 90s two-storeys in Millcroft and Headon Forest, to the new-builds going up on Aldershot’s upper slope. We know these houses inside and out. From where the ductwork runs, and which load-bearing walls can become an island and which can’t. This saves our clients time, money, and the kind of mid-project surprises that derail renovations elsewhere.

Kitchen Renovation FAQs
Your Questions, Answered
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Burlington?
Kitchen renovation costs in Burlington typically range from $30,000 for a mid-range refresh to $100,000 or more for a full custom build with premium finishes. The final price depends on the size of your kitchen, the quality of materials, whether you’re changing the layout, and the scope of electrical, plumbing and structural work involved. Custom cabinetry, stone countertops and high-end appliances tend to move the needle most. We provide detailed quotes after an in-home consultation so there are no surprises once the project gets underway. Every homeowner’s budget is different, and we work to match the design to what makes sense for your space and goals.
How long does a typical kitchen renovation take?
Most of our Burlington kitchen renovations take between 6 and 12 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. Smaller cosmetic updates can wrap up in a few weeks, while full custom kitchens involving layout changes or structural work naturally take longer. The design and planning phase before construction usually adds another 2 to 4 weeks, depending on cabinetry lead times and material availability. We build realistic timelines into every project and keep you informed throughout.
What's the difference between a kitchen renovation and a remodel?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there’s a real distinction. A renovation generally refers to updating or refreshing the existing kitchen – improving finishes, cabinetry and appliances. A remodel involves changing the structure or layout, such as removing walls, adding an island or reconfiguring the workflow entirely. Remodels tend to be more complex and costly because they usually involve plumbing, electrical and sometimes structural changes. We handle both, and during the design phase we’ll help you figure out which approach best fits your space and budget.
Do I need permits for a kitchen renovation in Burlington?
Generally, permits are not required for changes in cabinet layouts or cosmetic upgrades. Electrical, plumbing, gas lines, and structural changes are the elements that require a permit, inspection and final approvals. We provide engineering services that secure a sound evaluation and expert completion of this work, and we handle the permit process on your behalf so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork yourself. All work is inspected and meets current Ontario Building Code standards.
What kind of kitchen cabinets do you offer?
We specialize in custom cabinetry built to fit your kitchen exactly, with no wasted space or awkward filler panels. Our options range from classic Shaker and traditional profiles to modern slab-front and handleless designs, available in painted finishes, stained wood and textured laminates. We also offer semi-custom and stock cabinet lines for homeowners looking for quality at a more accessible price point. Hardware, interior organizers, soft-close mechanisms, and specialty storage like spice pull-outs and appliance garages are all part of the conversation. We help you match the style and function to your home and how you actually use your kitchen.
Do you handle design or do I need a separate designer?
We handle the full design process in-house, which is one of the main reasons clients choose us over a general contractor. Our team works with you on layout, cabinetry, finishes, lighting, and all the details that shape the final look. You’ll see 3D renderings before any work begins so you can visualize the space and make adjustments while it’s still easy to do. Having design and construction under one roof means fewer miscommunications and a smoother timeline. It also keeps accountability clear, because one team is responsible from concept to completion.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?
Most of our clients stay in their homes throughout the kitchen renovation, though it does require some planning. We help set up a temporary kitchen area, usually in a dining room or basement, with the fridge, microwave and basic prep tools accessible. The actual kitchen space will be off-limits for most of the project, and there will be dust and noise during demolition and construction. We use dust barriers and clean up daily to keep the rest of your home livable. Some families with young kids or specific schedules prefer to stay elsewhere during the messiest weeks, and that’s a personal call.
Do you only offer kitchen renovations in Burlington?
Burlington is a hotspot for our kitchen renovation services, but we also offer Hamilton Kitchen Renovations and Oakville Kitchen Renovations, as well as surrounding areas within a 1 hour radius. While kitchens are our main specialty and what we’re widely known for, we also offer design, renovation, remodeling and cabinetry for all other rooms of the home: bathrooms, offices, basements, garages and more. We deliver the same level of care and quality across all rooms in your home.
What should I look for when choosing a kitchen renovation company?
Look for a company that specializes in kitchens specifically, not a general contractor who does kitchens occasionally. Ask to see completed projects, ideally in person or through detailed portfolios, and check reviews on Google and HomeStars. Make sure they’re licensed, insured, willing to pull permits, and partnered with major suppliers (ideally Canadian suppliers). A clear written contract, transparent pricing and an in-house design process are all strong signs of a company that takes the work seriously. Finally, trust your gut during the initial consultation, because you’ll be working closely with this team for months.
What appliances do you recommend for a new kitchen?
We have an in-house appliance expert who will answer all of your questions, and our relationships in the appliance industry get you the best pricing available. We also coordinate delivery, installation and all the finishing. For most Burlington homeowners, a mix of mid-range to premium brands like Bosch, KitchenAid, and Fisher & Paykel hits the right balance of quality and value. If you’re building a high-end kitchen, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele are worth considering for their performance and longevity. Panel-ready fridges and dishwashers that blend into the cabinetry are increasingly popular for a cleaner, more custom look, and we bring you into appliance selection early in the design phase because cabinet sizing and ventilation depend on the specs.
What countertop material is best for a kitchen?
Quartz is the most popular choice among our Burlington clients because it’s durable, low-maintenance, and comes in an enormous range of colours and patterns. Natural stone like granite and marble offers a one-of-a-kind look but requires sealing and more careful use, especially marble which can stain and etch. Porcelain slabs are a newer option that handles heat and UV exposure well, making them great for kitchens with lots of natural light. Butcher block and solid surface options each have their place depending on the aesthetic you’re going for. We walk you through samples in person so you can see and feel the options before committing.
Do you offer warranties on your kitchen renovations?
Yes, we stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both labour and materials. Our workmanship is guaranteed for a set period after project completion, and cabinetry, countertops and appliances carry their own manufacturer warranties that we help you register and track. If anything goes wrong within the warranty period, we come back and make it right at no additional cost. Details of coverage are spelled out clearly in your contract so you know exactly what’s included. Our goal is for your kitchen to function beautifully for decades, not just pass inspection on day one.
