The Spartan Difference

Why Spartan Kitchens
Come Out Right.

One system. Six trades. Zero guesswork.

Cabinets ordered before electrical is confirmed. Countertops templated before cabinets are level. Electrician places pot lights without seeing the cabinet layout. Plumber moves the sink — nobody told the tile setter. You live in a construction zone twice as long as you should, and pay for the rework.

This is a coordination problem. Not a quality problem. And it’s entirely preventable with one set of drawings, one scope document, and one PM managing the sequence.

Systematic Precision
Architectural drawings → ClearScope™ takeoff → mood board & finish selections → Gantt chart → coordinated build. Not a promise. A documented process that runs the same way on every project.
Cabinets ordered from confirmed dimensions
Architectural drawings are produced first. Every cabinet is measured, specified, and approved before a single order is placed — no reorders, no delays.
Countertops templated after cabinets are set
The template happens once — after cabinets are installed and verified level. The stone fits first time, every time.
Electrical roughed-in from the cabinet drawing
Pot light positions, switch locations, and under-cabinet circuits are all laid out against the approved cabinet plan — before a single wire is pulled.
Every cost item identified before demo starts
Range hood ductwork, sink relocation, permit requirements — all surfaced during pre-construction. The ClearScope™ takeoff documents every line before work begins.
One project manager, accountable start to finish
Your dedicated PM schedules every trade, tracks every milestone, and keeps you updated daily. One person owns the result — and you always know who to call.

On Change Orders

Change orders are rare because the scope is comprehensive from day one. When legitimate conditions arise — hidden plumbing, asbestos floor tile, unexpected framing — we document immediately, present clear options with transparent pricing, and proceed only with your written approval. No invoice surprises.


What We Cover

Every Part of Your
Kitchen. One Scope.

Demo & Layout
Full kitchen strip-out, wall removal, load-bearing modifications, and new layout framing — engineered and OBC-compliant where required. Structural drawings included.
Plumbing & Electrical
Sink relocation, dishwasher rough-in, supply/drain upgrades. Panel circuits, pot light layout, under-cabinet lighting, and range hood circuit — all coordinated with the cabinet plan before rough-in starts.
Drywall & Bulkheads
New drywall on modified walls, bulkhead framing above uppers, and ceiling repairs. Skim coat and prime — ready for paint, no patchy sections handed over.
Cabinet Supply & Install
Upper, lower, and tall cabinets — RTA, semi-custom, or fully custom. Crown moulding, valance, and filler panels included. Pull-outs, organizers, and hardware spec’d in the takeoff before ordering.
Countertops
Quartz, granite, porcelain slab, or butcher block — templated after cabinets are confirmed level, then fabricated and installed. Undermount sink cut-out, seam placement, and edge profile to spec.
Backsplash & Tile
Ceramic, porcelain, glass, or natural stone. Subway, herringbone, stacked, or custom pattern — laid from takeoff dimensions with grout and caulk to the finish schedule.
Flooring
Hardwood, LVP, porcelain tile, or heated floor systems — prep, levelling, installation, and transitions. Coordinated with adjacent rooms to flow, not clash.
Range Hood & Ventilation
Ducted range hood installation — wall-mount, insert, or chimney style. Full ductwork routing to exterior, makeup air where required, and electrical connection included.
Painting & Trim
Walls, ceiling, and bulkheads. Baseboard, casing, and crown. Caulking and touch-up to a finished standard — not handed over with a punch list of things still to complete.

The Spartan System™

How Every Spartan
Kitchen Runs.

Every kitchen renovation at Spartan follows the same 8-step system. The system prevents the coordination failures, ordering mistakes, and cost surprises that define most kitchen renovations in Toronto.

01
Site Visit & Measure
We walk the kitchen, take precise measurements, assess existing plumbing and electrical, check panel capacity, and document constraints — load-bearing walls, duct locations, appliance alcoves.
02
Architectural Layout
Kitchen layout drafted to scale using architectural software — cabinet runs, island dimensions, appliance placement, lighting zones, plumbing fixture locations. All trades work from this one document.
03
ClearScope™ Takeoff
Every cabinet, every tile, every metre of countertop, every rough-in counted from the drawings with waste factors applied. This document — not a gut feel — becomes your fixed-price proposal.
04
Mood Board & Selections
Cabinet style, door profile, hardware, countertop material, backsplash pattern, flooring, and lighting — all selected from a guided finish schedule and locked before production starts. No last-minute swaps.
05
Fixed-Price Proposal
Every line item — demo, rough-in, cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, electrical, plumbing, painting — itemized with inclusions and exclusions explicit. Milestone payments tied to completed phases.
06
Trade Schedule & Gantt
Detailed sequencing — demo, rough-in, drywall, cabinets, countertop template, countertop install, tile, flooring, electrical trim, paint. Cabinets ordered only after drawings confirmed. Countertops templated only after cabinets are set.
07
Build & Milestone Tracking
Builders Plug™ trades dispatched in sequence. Daily updates. Any required adjustments documented, priced transparently, and approved in writing before proceeding. No invoice surprises.
08
Final Walkthrough & Handoff
Every door aligned, every grout joint finished, every appliance tested. Deficiency list completed. Warranty documentation provided. A finished kitchen.

“First time I’ve walked onto a job and already knew exactly what I was getting. The takeoff had every item broken down — I could see exactly where every dollar was going before I signed.”

James T.

“The countertop company we used before measured before the cabinets were set — stone came back wrong. This time everything was sequenced properly. Templated after install, fit perfectly first try.”

Ana & Mark S.

“We found old galvanized pipes during demo. Within a day Spartan had documented it, given me two options with pricing, and we approved the upgrade. No invoice I hadn’t already seen coming.”

Common Questions

Before You Start
Your Kitchen.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Toronto in 2026?

Kitchen renovations in Toronto range from $18,000 for a cosmetic refresh to $250,000+ for a fully custom luxury kitchen. A partial upgrade with new RTA cabinets, mid-grade quartz, and flooring runs $35,000–$65,000. A full remodel with layout reconfiguration, new plumbing, electrical, and semi-custom cabinetry typically runs $65,000–$120,000.

Final price locks after architectural drawings are produced, the ClearScope™ takeoff is completed, and finish selections are approved. Any quote given before that process is an estimate — we don’t commit numbers without doing the work to earn them.

How long does a kitchen renovation take in Toronto?

6 to 14 weeks from demo to final handoff, depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh with no layout changes can be done in 4–6 weeks. A full gut with custom cabinets and plumbing relocation typically runs 10–14 weeks.

The biggest variable is cabinet lead time — custom and semi-custom cabinets run 4–10 weeks from order. At Spartan, cabinets are ordered only after the layout drawing is confirmed and the takeoff is approved, so no dimensions change mid-project.

What if unexpected issues are found during the kitchen renovation?

We find most issues before demolition begins. The pre-construction site assessment, structural review, and permit drawings are designed to surface hidden conditions before work starts — not mid-build.

When genuine surprises occur — galvanized plumbing, asbestos floor tile, unexpected framing — we document it immediately, present you with clear options and transparent pricing, and proceed only with your written approval. You will never receive an invoice for work you didn’t approve.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Toronto?

It depends on what’s being done. Cosmetic work — new cabinets, countertops, tile, and flooring — does not require a permit. Moving plumbing (sink relocation), adding circuits to the panel, or removing a wall requires permits under the Ontario Building Code.

Spartan manages the full permit process — drawings, submission, and inspection scheduling — as part of the scope. You don’t chase the city. We do. For official permit information, visit City of Toronto Building Permits or review the Ontario Building Code.

Can I stay in my home during a kitchen renovation?

Yes — most clients do. The kitchen is blocked off and protected during demolition. Once rough-in work is complete and the space is drywalled and primed, the worst of the disruption is behind you. We set up a temporary kitchen area where possible during the build phase.

The most disruptive period is the first 1–2 weeks of demo and rough-in. After that it becomes much more manageable.

What is the kitchen renovation ROI in Toronto?

70–85% ROI is the typical range for a well-executed kitchen remodel in the GTA. This means a $100,000 kitchen renovation typically adds $70,000–$85,000 in resale value — making it one of the highest-returning renovation investments in Toronto real estate.

ROI varies by neighbourhood, project quality, and how closely the renovation matches buyer expectations in your area. Overbuilding for the neighbourhood — spending $200,000 in a $700,000 home area — reduces returns. Spartan can advise on appropriate scope for your market during the site visit.

Do you supply the appliances?

We can, or you can. Spartan has supplier relationships for appliances at trade pricing, or we can design the cabinet layout around appliances you’ve already chosen. Either way, appliance specifications are locked into the cabinet plan before ordering — so dimensions are always confirmed and there are no surprises at install.

What is included in a ClearScope™ kitchen takeoff?

The ClearScope™ takeoff for a kitchen covers every division of work — demolition, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical, drywall, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, range hood ductwork, fixtures, painting, and hardware. Every line item includes quantity, unit of measure, and cost breakdown split by labour and materials.

You also receive colour-coded markup drawings showing exactly what was counted on your layout — so you can trace every line item back to a physical location in the kitchen.
