Custom Kitchen Design and Build

A kitchen renovation is one of the strongest investments you can make in your home. At Ali's Old To New, we build kitchens that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether you want a modern open-concept kitchen, a classic transitional design, or a complete layout reconfiguration, our team has the skills and experience to bring your vision to life.

Quality Materials and Craftsmanship

We source materials from trusted suppliers across British Columbia. From quartz and granite countertops to custom solid wood cabinetry, every material is selected for durability, appearance, and value. Our installers are meticulous, delivering seamless joints, precise alignments, and clean finishes throughout.

Our Kitchen Renovation Process, Step by Step

Every kitchen project follows a clear path so you always know what happens next. First, a free in-home consultation where we measure the space, talk through how you use your kitchen, and flag anything that could affect cost or timeline. Second, design and an itemized quote, including layout drawings and material selections. Third, demolition and any structural or layout changes. Fourth, the rough-in stage for plumbing, electrical, and gas, followed by inspections. Fifth, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and lighting. Finally, a walkthrough where we fix anything on your list before you make the final payment. Most kitchen renovations run four to eight weeks once materials are on site.

What Affects the Cost of Your Kitchen Renovation

The biggest cost drivers are cabinetry, countertops, and whether you move plumbing or walls. Custom cabinetry costs more than stock or semi-custom, but it makes the most of awkward spaces. Quartz and natural stone counters sit above laminate but last for decades. Keeping your existing layout keeps costs down, while relocating a sink, moving gas, or removing a wall for an open-concept kitchen adds labour and often permits. Appliances, lighting, and flooring round out the budget. We give you honest tradeoffs at quote time so you can put your money where it matters most to you.

Kitchen Layouts That Work in Greater Vancouver Homes

The right layout depends on your space and how you cook. Galley kitchens are common in condos and older homes and stay efficient when the sink and stove sit across from each other with clear counter runs on both sides. L-shaped kitchens open naturally into a dining or living area and suit open-concept main floors. U-shaped kitchens give you the most counter and storage in a dedicated room. Where space allows, an island adds prep area, casual seating, and a spot for the family to gather, though it needs enough clearance on all sides to stay comfortable. During design we map how you move through the kitchen every day, then place the sink, stove, fridge, and storage so the room works without wasted steps. In smaller Greater Vancouver kitchens we look for space you already have, such as full-height cabinetry, corner solutions, and pantry pull-outs, before considering moving walls.
