A Vaughan kitchen renovation is rarely just a kitchen. Moving a sink means plumbing, opening a wall can mean a permit, and a new island usually means new circuits. The renovator you hire will either coordinate all of that or hand pieces of it back to you.
This guide is for Vaughan, Woodbridge, Maple and Thornhill homeowners planning a mid-to-high budget kitchen remodel. We compare five renovators on verified reputation, an editorial project score, and specialization. No affiliate links appear here, and nothing is based on a site visit or a project we commissioned.
How We Evaluated the Companies
We reviewed each company’s HomeStars and Houzz profiles, its published service and process information, and third-party listings, all checked in October 2026. Where a fact comes only from a company’s own materials, we say so.
Project score is an editorial assessment out of 10 of how well a company’s publicly documented evidence supports a full kitchen renovation. It is not a customer rating and does not reflect any firsthand inspection of finished work.
| Component | Weight | How it is scored |
| Delivery model | 30% | 10 = design, management and trades in-house; 8 = in-house design and management with coordinated trades; 6 = neither |
| Review reputation | 30% | Rating on the largest verified review profile, multiplied by 2 |
| Process transparency | 20% | 2 points each for a published process, timelines, quote type, warranty and price guidance |
| Credentials | 20% | 2.5 points each for stated licensing or insurance, an accreditation, platform awards, and a showroom or portfolio |
We publish a score only when all four components can be assessed from verifiable public sources; otherwise it reads “Unavailable.” That reflects gaps in public documentation, not work quality. Each “Best” label is our editorial recommendation based on these criteria, not an official award.

The 5 Best Kitchen Renovators in Vaughan
1. Kitchen & Bath – Best Overall full-service design-build contractor
Kitchen & Bath renovates kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes from a showroom at 7250 Keele Street in Vaughan. In the company’s own description, Kitchen & Bath is a HomeStars ‘Best of’ winner seven years running, with an all-in-house crew (no subcontractors) and a Vaughan showroom. That award record is also cited in The Seeker’s 2026 ranking of Vaughan kitchen renovation companies, where it placed first.

Services and specialization. Kitchen work spans layout redesign, custom cabinetry, stone countertops, backsplashes, flooring, lighting and appliance hookup. The company lists Cambria and Caesarstone quartz, Blum hardware and Kohler fixtures as standard, with plywood cabinet boxes and dovetailed drawers. Bathrooms, basements and additions are also offered, which helps when a kitchen project spills into the main floor.
Design-build process and project management. The company publishes four stages:
- Consultation: a free in-home or showroom visit covering measurements, scope, budget and permit needs.
- Design and quote: four to six weeks of drawings and selections, ending in a fixed written quote, with cabinets and appliances ordered before demolition.
- Build: typically 10 to 14 weeks on site for a full kitchen, including an Electrical Safety Authority inspection.
- Handover: a walkthrough, deficiency list and written workmanship warranty.
One project manager is your single point of contact, and the company says it files permits itself. It also states its trades are licensed, WSIB-covered and carry $2 million in liability insurance. These are company claims, so ask to see the documents.
Pricing. Published budget bands run roughly $20,000 to $50,000 for a full kitchen within the existing layout and $50,000 to $100,000 when walls move or plumbing and gas are relocated. Final pricing comes in writing after a consultation.
Verified reputation and project evidence. Kitchen & Bath holds a 4.7 rating from 320 HomeStars reviews, listed as Kitchen & Bath Home Inc. One kitchen client wrote in January 2025:
“I wanted something different, a contemporary two tone kitchen with some vintage elements. The end result, while taking longer than I anticipated, did meet my expectations. The cabinetry & countertops are very good quality, and the beverage bar with glass cabinetry & floating shelves turned out great.” Customer of Kitchen & Bath Home Inc, 5?on HomeStars (January 2025)
Another HomeStars reviewer, posting on January 6, 2025, described needing a full kitchen renovation within two months and praised the team’s speed, quality and smooth coordination from design to finishing touches.
Project score: 9.3/10. Delivery model 10 (based on the company’s published no-subcontractor statement); reviews 9.4; process transparency 10; credentials 7.5 (insurance stated, awards and showroom documented, no accreditation found).
What Stands Out:
- One company handles design, management and trades, so accountability never splits.
- The most fully published process in this review.
- A walk-in Vaughan showroom, open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- The largest review base here.
What to Consider:
- Its 4.7 HomeStars rating sits slightly below some peers, and a few reviews mention longer-than-expected timelines or slow repair follow-up.
- No fixed public pricing.
- The warranty’s length is not published, so confirm it in your contract.
Recommended for: Vaughan homeowners planning a full kitchen remodel who want one accountable team to design, permit, build and warranty the work.
Address: Units 375-378, 7250 Keele St, Vaughan, ON L4K 1Z8
Phone: (647) 697-6378
2. Sosna Inc. – Best for complex, fixed-budget renovations
Sosna is a Vaughan design-build renovator, in the same Keele Street building as Kitchen & Bath, built around strict deadlines and fixed budgets. Its Houzz profile shows a 5.0 rating from 92 reviews, 14 Best of Houzz awards spanning 2015 to 2026, RenoMark accreditation and a licence number.
The profile describes a 10-step planning process, fixed-price quotes and a two-year labour and materials warranty, with projects usually starting at $50,000. Reviewers often describe kitchens delivered within main-floor renovations.
Project score: 9.0/10. Delivery model 8 (in-house design and management; one published review references coordinated subcontractors); reviews 10; process transparency 8 (no published timelines); credentials 10.
What Stands Out:
- The deepest awards history in this review.
- Fixed-price quoting and a stated two-year warranty.
- Strong record on layout-changing projects.
What to Consider:
- A $50,000 starting point exceeds many single-kitchen budgets.
- Typical timelines are not published.
Recommended for: Homeowners pairing a kitchen with a main-floor or whole-home renovation who need a firm budget and deadline.
Address: 7250 Keele St, Unit 372, Vaughan, ON L4K 1Z8
Phone: (437) 494-5247
3. Senso Design – Best for design-forward custom kitchens
Senso Design is a Markham firm that bills itself on Houzz as a high-end custom kitchen cabinetry supplier and lists Vaughan and Woodbridge among its service areas. Its HomeStars profile shows a 5.0 rating from 97 reviews.
Reviews credit in-house design and realistic renderings before construction. One Richmond Hill client reported a kitchen of about $55,000 delivered on budget and on schedule.
Project score: Unavailable. Process, warranty and credential details were not published in sources we could verify.
What Stands Out:
- A perfect HomeStars rating across nearly 100 reviews.
- Reviewers consistently praise the design phase.
- Experience with condo kitchens as well as houses.
What to Consider:
- Based in Markham rather than Vaughan.
- Pricing, warranty and process are not publicly documented.
Recommended for: Homeowners who want a highly designed custom kitchen and like seeing
4. A&R Renovations Inc. – Best for owner-led, hands-on contracting
A&R Renovations is a Woodbridge general contractor with a 4.9 HomeStars rating from 110 reviews, some dating back more than a decade.
The recurring theme is owner involvement, with clients describing owner Alex on site daily. One Vaughan reviewer reported a roughly $59,000 project that replaced kitchen cabinets, removed two walls and remodelled a bathroom. Another said A&R’s quote sat mid-range among four bids while its timeline was far shorter.
What Stand Out:
- A long, consistent HomeStars record.
- Direct owner oversight on site.
- Comfortable with structural changes in multi-room projects.
What to Consider:
- No in-house design team is documented publicly.
- Little published detail on process, warranty or pricing.
Recommended for: Homeowners with a design direction already in hand who want a hands-on contractor for a kitchen within a larger renovation.
5. Castle Kitchens – Best for showroom-based appliance and cabinetry selection
Castle Kitchens & Bath Emporium runs a large showroom in Markham. On its Miele dealer page, the company describes itself as family-operated for over 20 years, with a 16,000-square-foot showroom, NKBA-certified designers who manage projects from concept to completion, and Chartered Miele Agent status.
What Stand Out:
- A large appliance, cabinetry and plumbing showroom, by the company’s description.
- NKBA-certified designers, according to the company.
- Useful when premium appliances drive the layout.
What to Consider:
- The showroom is in Markham, a drive from central Vaughan.
- Positioned more as a retailer and designer than a general contractor.
- Review reputation could not be verified for this guide.
Recommended for: Homeowners whose kitchen starts with appliance and cabinetry choices and who want to compare products in person.
What to Ask a Vaughan Kitchen Renovator Before Hiring
Ontario recommends getting written estimates from at least three contractors, and an estimate written into your contract cannot be exceeded by more than 10% unless you agree to new work or a new price. Ask every renovator:
Scope: What is included, from demolition and disposal to appliance hookup and paint?
Estimates: Is the quote fixed, and will it be written into the contract?
Schedule: How long are design, ordering and construction, and what happens if materials arrive late?
Project management: Who is my single contact, and how often will I get updates?
Subcontractors: Which trades are employees, and which are subcontracted?
Permits: Vaughan requires approval for work such as removing non-load-bearing walls and adding plumbing fixtures. Who files permits and books inspections?
Insurance: Can I see proof of liability insurance and WSIB coverage?
Warranties: How long is the workmanship warranty, and what does it cover?
Change orders: How are changes priced and approved mid-project?
Conclusion
The right Vaughan kitchen renovator depends on your project. Sosna fits complex, fixed-budget whole-floor work, Senso Design suits a design-forward custom kitchen, A&R Renovations works when you want an owner on site for a multi-room job, and Castle Kitchens makes sense when appliances and cabinetry lead your decisions.
For homeowners who want one company to handle design, permits, construction and the warranty, Kitchen & Bath is our top recommendation, supported by the most fully published process in this review, an in-house delivery model, a Vaughan showroom and 320 HomeStars reviews.
