Kitchen Renovation in The Annex

Get A Quick Quote

Many Annex homes spent decades as student or multi-unit rentals, which often means the original kitchen was relocated, downsized, or duplicated to serve a divided floor plan. iRemodel Home Renovation Toronto works regularly with Annex homeowners who are either reconverting a subdivided property back into a single-family home or simply modernizing a century kitchen that’s never been properly updated.

What’s Involved in an Annex Kitchen Renovation

Annex kitchen projects generally fall into two categories:

Reconversion renovations — consolidating a kitchen that was relocated or duplicated during a past rental conversion back into one functional space
Modernization renovations — updating layout, cabinetry, and finishes within a kitchen that’s kept its original footprint

Kitchen renovations typically take 4 to 8 weeks, and most GTA projects range from $20,000 for a refresh to $60,000 or more where structural or plumbing relocation is involved.

Local Considerations for Annex Properties

Kitchens relocated during a past rental conversion often have plumbing and electrical run in ways that don’t match the original house layout, which needs to be assessed before a reconversion begins. Structural or plumbing changes require a City of Toronto building permit, which we handle from application through inspection.

Why Annex Homeowners Choose iRemodel

Reconverting a multi-unit rental back into a cohesive family home takes more planning than a standard renovation, since it usually means tracing plumbing and electrical back to their original points before deciding what to keep. Our licensed team handles this assessment as part of every reconversion project, backed by a one-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle a kitchen that was relocated during a past rental conversion?

We start by tracing the existing plumbing and electrical, then determine whether it makes sense to build around the current location or restore the kitchen closer to its original position in the home.

Can a divided Annex home be reconverted into a single-family layout?

In most cases, yes. It typically involves removing added partition walls, consolidating duplicate kitchens, and bringing systems up to current code, which we scope during an initial assessment.

How much does an Annex kitchen renovation typically cost?

Most projects range from $20,000 for a refresh to $60,000 or more for a full reconversion or custom kitchen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found iRemodel through Google, and I’m so glad I chose them. He worked on my late mother’s house, which is very sentimental to my sisters and me, so it was important to find someone we could trust. He worked  on the powder room and he was professional, went above and beyond, and stayed in consistent communication throughout the entire process. He was also very punctual. if he said he would arrive at 8 a.m., he was there right on time and always left at a reasonable hour. I truly appreciate the care and respect he showed while working on such a meaningful space. I would highly recommend iRemodel to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful service. I would definitely look forward to working with him again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with my condo renovation — the transformation is absolutely stunning! From start to finish, the team brought incredible vision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. They completely reimagined the layout by knocking down a wall to create a spacious, open studio that feels bright, modern, and so much larger than before. The seamless porcelain tile installed throughout the entire unit not only looks beautiful but also makes the space feel cohesive and high-end. One of my favorite upgrades is the newly created space for our washer and dryer — such a smart and functional addition, that added real convenience. They also sealed the kitchen bar to create a more defined separation between the kitchen and living area, which improved both flow and functionality. The fresh white paint brightened everything instantly, and the addition of track lighting in the living room gave the space a clean, contemporary feel while adding warmth and ambiance. Overall the quality of the work was exceptional and communication was smooth throughout the entire project. If you’re looking for a team that delivers beautiful results and truly elevates your space, I highly recommend Dave and his team at iRemodel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very content with the renovation of this unit. From the moment you walk in, it’s immediately clear how much care, thought, and craftsmanship went into redoing both the kitchen and the bathroom. The transformation is truly impressive and has elevated the entire space to feel modern, fresh, and incredibly inviting. The kitchen is a standout. Everything feels thoughtfully designed and well executed—from the updated cabinetry and sleek finishes to the overall layout, which now feels both functional and modern. The materials used are clearly high quality, and the attention to detail really shows. It’s the kind of kitchen that not only looks great but also feels practical for everyday use, whether you’re cooking a full meal or just enjoying the space. The updates make it feel contemporary without being overdone, striking a perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. The bathroom renovation is equally impressive. It feels clean, modern, and cozy, with updated fixtures and finishes that give the space a polished, refreshed feel. Everything is brand new, well-installed, and cohesive. The design choices make the bathroom feel more spacious and thoughtfully laid out, and it’s clear that functionality and aesthetics were both top priorities. It’s a space that feels relaxing and well cared for—exactly what you want in a newly renovated bathroom. Overall, this renovation was exceptionally well done. The upgrades to both the kitchen and bathroom significantly enhance the value and livability of the unit, and the quality of the work is evident throughout. It feels like a complete refresh rather than just surface-level updates. Anyone looking to remodel their space will immediately appreciate the effort, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that went into the renovation. Highly recommend—this is a beautifully updated unit that was clearly renovated with care and pride. A job very well done!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just got our bathroom remodeled after a good friend highly recommended iRemodel.  I was hesitant at first but Dave and his crew delivered on time, on budget and the bathroom now looks amazing.  There was minimal dust and the team really paid attention to details.  A couple times there seemed to be issues but the team was so good in making sure to find solution and solved the problem. We were most surprised that the project actually finished on time as promised.  I would highly recommend.  Thanks Dave and team for turning our dark and unwelcoming space into a bright bathroom that the girls now love to use.
