Kitchen Renovation in Mississauga
Custom kitchens designed for how you actually cook.
The real constraint on a kitchen renovation in Mississauga is usually the house around it, not the cabinetry: a small closed kitchen in a post-war bungalow, a split-level kitchen boxed in by half-flights of stairs, or a 1980s Erin Mills kitchen walled off from the family room.
Nexon Build designs and builds custom kitchens and full kitchen remodeling projects around those realities. Layout, custom cabinetry and millwork, countertops, backsplash, plumbing and electrical updates and appliance coordination are planned as one fixed-price scope, and we confirm whether walls or plumbing moves need a City permit before demolition starts. Installation typically takes four to eight weeks once materials are settled, with selections and change orders kept in Buildertrend.

| Installation time | Four to eight weeks once design and materials are confirmed |

Kitchen Layouts in Mississauga Bungalows and Split-Levels
Post-war bungalows in Cooksville, Clarkson and Applewood often put the kitchen at the back of the house, separated from the dining room by a wall that frequently carries ceiling joists. Opening it means a beam sized by an engineer, plus a building permit. Split-levels add a different puzzle: the kitchen sits on the middle level, so stair openings and short spans limit where an island can go. For the engineering and permit steps, read how to remove a load-bearing wall.
Old services tend to surface during demolition too. An original electrical panel often can't carry an induction range, a wall oven and a modern dishwasher at once, and galvanized lines can choke a new faucet's flow. We price those upgrades into the fixed contract instead of leaving them as surprises halfway through the job.
Erin Mills, Meadowvale and Condo Kitchens: What Changes
In 1970s and 1980s two-storeys across Meadowvale and Erin Mills, the classic move is merging the kitchen with the adjoining family room. Those walls are less often structural than in a bungalow, but they can hide ductwork and drain stacks that must be rerouted, and relocating a sink or adding a prep sink is a plumbing change that needs a permit. If the room is simply too small, a modest rear extension may cost less than fighting the floor plan; see rear additions in Mississauga.
Condo kitchens around the City Centre follow a second rulebook. The condominium corporation usually controls work hours, elevator bookings, venting and plumbing shut-offs, and many boards require their own approval before demolition. We prepare the drawings and scope documents a board asks for, and keep layout changes within what the building's risers allow.
Kitchen Renovation Costs in Mississauga for 2026
A Mississauga kitchen refresh starts around $30,000. A mid-range remodel with new cabinetry and a reworked layout lands near $75,000, and a full custom kitchen with stone, integrated appliances and structural changes runs $150,000 and up. Cabinet boxes, doors and millwork usually take 30–40% of that spend, so the cabinet line, more than the room's square footage, separates a $75,000 kitchen from a $150,000 one. The 2026 kitchen renovation cost guide breaks down each line, while our Mississauga contractor page sets out the approvals that apply locally.

Kitchen Renovations cost in Mississauga
A Toronto kitchen renovation ranges from about $30,000 for a refresh to $75,000 for a mid-range remodel, and $150,000+ for a full custom kitchen. Cabinetry alone is usually 30–40% of the budget, which is why two kitchens of the same size can cost very differently. Pricing in Mississauga tracks the wider GTA market.

Common questions
Can I open my Mississauga bungalow's kitchen to the living room?+
In most cases, yes, but it is structural work. The wall between the kitchen and the living or dining space in a bungalow often supports ceiling joists, so removing it needs an engineered beam design and a City of Mississauga building permit before demolition. The new beam's posts must carry load down to proper footings, which we confirm in the basement first.
Does a condo kitchen renovation in Mississauga need a City permit?+
It depends on the scope. The City's permit list applies to plumbing fixtures that are added or relocated and to structural or HVAC changes, while new cabinetry and fixtures replaced in the same spot don't need one. Separately, your condominium corporation will have its own approval process, insurance requirements and work-hour rules, so build both into the schedule.
Do I need a permit to add a kitchen to a Mississauga basement?+
Yes. Any new plumbing fixtures need a permit, and a basement kitchen with its own living, sleeping and washroom space becomes an additional residential unit that must also be registered with the City as a second unit. Permit fees on a new or legalized ARU are refunded after inspections.
How much does kitchen renovations cost in Mississauga?+
A Toronto kitchen renovation ranges from about $30,000 for a refresh to $75,000 for a mid-range remodel, and $150,000+ for a full custom kitchen. Cabinetry alone is usually 30–40% of the budget, which is why two kitchens of the same size can cost very differently. Pricing in Mississauga tracks the wider GTA market.
Do you handle permits for kitchen renovations in Mississauga?+
Yes. We manage the full permit process with City of Mississauga (Building Division), including any variance or zoning review your Mississauga project requires.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in the GTA?+
From about $30,000 for a basic refresh to $75,000 for a mid-range remodel, and $150,000+ for a full custom kitchen with premium appliances and cabinetry.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?+
Plan for 6–12 weeks on site. Custom cabinetry takes 6–8 weeks to fabricate, so ordering early usually sets the timeline.
Why is cabinetry so expensive?+
Custom cabinetry is millwork built and installed to your exact space, and it accounts for 30–40% of a kitchen budget. It's also the surface you touch every day, so it's the last place we'd cut.
