WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MID-RANGE AND LUXURY KITCHEN RENOVATION?

At Pinnacle Group we focus on upscale projects, and for most of our clients, that means a hybrid of both mid-range and luxury kitchen renovations. A mid-range kitchen makeover is intended for an outdated kitchen with the kitchen area receiving new code-compliant plumbing and electrical, full-height fully-custom cabinetry perimeter, with a generous, multi-function island, dovetailed drawers with high quality soft-close drawer slides, and luxury granite or quartz counters.

WHY THE LAYOUT OF YOUR KITCHEN IS SO IMPORTANT?

Quite often when homeowners decide to renovate their kitchen space, it usually comes from a deeper need than simply updating the aesthetics of the room. Dated kitchens are often more closed in and much less functional than today’s modern designs. Nowadays, more than most areas of the home, our kitchens need to be practical to cater to the multiple demands we put on this space.

Kip H & Kelly F

Paul held himself to a high standard and ensured that quality work was done. We thank God for Jami, their designer. She had good ideas, listened to us, and delivered on the functionality while also making our kitchen and home look pretty. Pinnacle’s Site Supervisor, Brennan, answered questions and was very professional. He found solutions and got things done. He always talked to us and was detail-oriented. We have already recommended Pinnacle Group because they are ethical and solution-oriented. Pinnacle did the project on time and with quality. We could trust them, and the whole team is great. You pay a premium price with Pinnacle, but it is money well spent, and they deal with issues professionally.

Ken L, SE Calgary

The renovation with the Pinnacle Group was a great experience! What I liked is that Pinnacle Group's renovation consultant, Bal, and all the Pinnacle staff took great interest in my project. The impact is that I felt valued as a person.The biggest value experienced was the collaborative approach of the Pinnacle Group Team. We could all make suggestions, listen to options and then make a decision that made the most sense. We worked together to find the best solution. Their site supervisor, Shane, informed me of what trades would come the next day. Their communication was extremely helpful. They stuck to the schedule and budget. I generally knew what I wanted but there were times I didn't know the path to proceed. It was guidance and suggestions of Robin, Pinnacle designer, that got us where we are. One of the key parts of the project was putting in an ensuite and I hadn't had one before. I didn't know how to make it happen, but Robin came up with a good design. I am not sure I could have done it without Robin. Both bathrooms have new custom cabinets. Whenever I got into a project of this magnitude I am concerned about cost, but as we were going through the process it was very clear that quality was maybe the most important thing for me. What also helped is that I was getting work done in a professional and cooperative manner. Part of what was ensuring the quality was the SCC Guarantee and the management of the project. I quickly got over the overall cost as it became clear that I had hired a good company who would deliver what we designed and take us smoothly to the end. We are really happy with the result.

Derek T, Dewinton, AB

I found the owner of Pinnacle Group, Paul, to be excellent to deal with. I have already referred him and Pinnacle to others because the design is great and aligns with what we want. They do good work and are willing to commit to a completion date. No one else out there is willing to do that. If their company is so confident that they will commit to a date, then I am confident enough to work with them. It wasn't right on but it was close, and that is all that matters to me. Pinnacle's designer, Jami, is great to work with. She listened and understood what we wanted. She has a great vision and understands the options. We just signed up with Pinnacle Group again yesterday to do more work. My experience with Pinnacle is that they are the best; they are fast, efficient and do very good work.

Tiffany & Ryan C

The SCC Guarantee was the main reason we chose Pinnacle Group. No one else would guarantee a start and finish date. Jami is very good at what she does. She thinks functionally and from an ‘aging in place’ perspective. We have a future proof design. When there were hiccups, Paul and his project manager immediately took responsibility and communicated a resolution plan. The finished product is better than anything that we have seen or were expecting. The Pinnacle staff made it so we could trust them and have faith they would get it all done. If someone wants a renovation done on time and on budget, they should choose Pinnacle Group Renovations.

Cynthia & David P

We trust them, and that’s everything. They didn’t always try to be right, but listened and were fair to deal with. Paul, the owner, has a good handle on the trades and sub-trades. He knows his business very well. Jami is a wonderful designer, patient, always very helpful, and open to feedback. We love Pinnacle Site Supervisors, Brennan and Grant. They were patient and would explain everything. They were also open to moving things or making changes for us. Pinnacle did an outstanding job. We can tell by the feedback from our family and friends how impressed they are.

Grace G

They were friendly, professional, and we enjoyed the experience. Brennan and Grant, the site supervisors, were warm, friendly, and really down to earth. They explained things in a way I could understand and would resolve any concerns I had during the process. We recommend Pinnacle for the quality of workmanship, their timelines, and good communication. When I recommend them to my friends and neighbors, I tell them you have to pay for quality. We ended up renovating the whole house and got our money’s worth.

Randy and Barb W

From our conversation, I got a good sense of his character. He was genuine and trustworthy, so we proceeded with Pinnacle. The group as a whole was fantastic. The project was on time and on budget. The way Brennan and Grant, the site supervisors, handled themselves was great. When there were issues, Brennan and Grant listened, and they delivered what they said they would.

Erik & Bonnie F

Our decision was based on our previous experience and the relationship we have with the Pinnacle Group. We would definitely recommend them, and we already have. We knew they had a high level of knowledge and expertise with wheelchair needs and accessibility needs. They take a thoughtful and caring approach and consider all aspects of a person’s needs. They are good people to work with; we are friends and can relate to them. They do good work and have an eye for details as well as aesthetics. We are ecstatic with the result! Most days we spend a lot of time in our ensuite. Our ensuite and the time we spent in it used to be a real energy drain for us, but now it is so much more livable and enjoyable.

Deborah and Dean S

We liked the personalities of Paul, Pinnacle Group’s owner, Brennan, their site supervisor, and Jami, their designer, as well as attending the Pinnacle open houses. We wanted an established company because we were having a load-bearing post removed and needed to make sure the company was legit. We value the quality of the reno and working with Jami. Brennan gave good suggestions too, like the pantry redesign. We actually miss interacting with Brennan, Jami, and the team! Pinnacle was pleasant to work with, and the quality is great. We are happy with our reno.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does it cost to renovate a kitchen in Calgary?

Key drivers for kitchen renovation costs comes down to the complexity. Are we staying within the current footprint versus expanding by removing walls, which then impacts lighting, ceilings, and flooring. Custom or off the shelf cabinetry, wood species, accessories as well as aging-in-place initiatives steer costs. Additional costs arise which includes plumbing, electrical work, and structural changes. A typical kitchen renovation within the current footprint costs $80,000-$100,000+, while full custom projects with wall removal can exceed well beyond $200,000.

What is a good budget for a kitchen renovation in Calgary?

The answer is how long do you intend to stay? That answer could mean as follows; if it’s a short time just to get a couple years of enjoyment, you can compromise on quality and land under 100k, if you are renovating with quality in mind and a leaning towards a forever home kitchen renovation, then budget high 100’s all the way to high 200’s range.

What’s the most expensive part of a kitchen renovation?

Removing a wall has the biggest impact on costs as it is now no longer a kitchen renovation, it encompasses several other rooms, however the largest impact on costs on just a kitchen renovation is the quality (IE product specifications), followed by complexity of design, and an important mention, is the experience and proven workmanship of the team you are hiring. Do they have decades of proven track record, are they bonded, licenced and fully ensured and do they only employ trades and suppliers with the same qualifications?

How long is the kitchen remodelling process?

The timeline ranges based on the other factors mentioned above; is it JUST the kitchen cabinetry being replaced, or is the entire room being updated, or are walls coming down impacting other rooms on that floor? If you are just removing and replacing your cabinetry and counters, this could be achieved in 4 weeks or less, for full room or others rooms could be two months or more. Be sure to ask if your contractor guarantees their completion date, with that assurance you can now plan around the impacted time with confidence.

KITCHEN COUNTERS

When choosing kitchen counter tops, it isn’t difficult to get confused by the number of different options that are available to you. In 2023, stone products such as quartz, quartzite, glass and granite are some of the choices for homeowners renovating their kitchens. Unlike granite, which is a natural stone, quartz is a man-made product and therefore tends and easier to maintain, whereas the natural movement in granite is what attracts others to that choice. Durability and maintenance aside, quartz, quartzite, glass and granite countertops can come in an endless assortment of colors and styles.

KITCHEN FLOORING

In a busy area of your home, like your kitchen, selecting the right flooring that will hold up to the foot traffic, spills, and drops is extremely important. There are many hard flooring products to choose from that come in a wide range of colours, styles and textures. Luxury Vinyl Plank, Tile-Plank in hardwood look, small or large format Tile, and Hardwood; all have their pros and cons depending on your personal needs and taste, as well as perceived quality and actual durability. For the reasons cited; it’s so important to work with seasoned professionals who know the pros and cons of each product, and aren’t tied to a specific product line; thus, allowing complete objectivity.

SINGLE-WALL KITCHENS

A Single-Wall or One-Wall kitchen is exactly what it sounds like! This layout is quite common in apartments and lofts and are a great way to make the most of your limited space. Single-Wall Kitchens will have all cabinetry and appliances along a single wall. If space allows, an island can help to provide additional countertop and storage space.

WHY THE LAYOUT OF YOUR KITCHEN IS SO IMPORTANT?

Your new kitchen layout will ultimately depend on the square footage available, which is why it’s extremely important to work with a qualified renovation and design-build team, who can help you visualize your options before any construction or demolition work begins. Most Design-Build firms employ professionals from both the design and construction sector which is the case with Pinnacle Group; this creates a seamless communication forum. Naturally, the expertise and creativity of an architect or designer is required to draw up the plans; but as important is the builder working alongside the design team to ensure it meets your budget expectations.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MID-RANGE AND LUXURY KITCHEN RENOVATION?

Appliance installations include energy efficient induction or gas range (complete with ventilation system), a built-in microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal system. This kitchen would be complimented by a double-basin SILGRANITE undermount sink, a new luxury faucet, and custom under-cabinet as well as ceiling pot lighting. New Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring or Engineered Hardwood is installed, and walls, ceiling and trim in the kitchen and adjacent areas are all re-painted.

Luxury kitchen renovations would include features such as high-end appliances, fully-custom cabinetry with multiple accessories and custom-exotic wood species, luxury stone countertops including waterfall designs, instant hot or filtered water, 36-48inch range and vent hood, and structural work for an open concept or butler’s pantry, including removal of bearing walls and/or an addition, for a luxurious open concept.

From the examples above of mid-range and luxury kitchen renovations; it’s easy to see how most of our client-families opt for a hybrid version of both specifications; we simply refer to as The PINNACLE Spec and is what you see throughout our website galleries! 

Each year Pinnacle Group puts together a FREE up-to-date Reno Cost Guide where we cover the typical cost expectancy of some more popular home renovations, including the kitchen. Download your free guide today! 

HOW TO CHOOSE A CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR KITCHEN RENOVATIONS IN CALGARY

A combination of a professional online presence, transparency into past projects and consistent positive feedback can make it easier for you to focus in on the renovators that you would like to work with to help design and renovate your dream kitchen. From there, you can narrow down the list of contenders and set up meetings between your top choices.

For more than 15 years, 3rd Party Review company; Client Insight has helped us interview our Pinnacle Group Client Families in an effort to learn more about their experience throughout the build process. These customers have entrusted us to complete large scale home renovations and additions, as such, we want to make sure that we have met and exceeded their expectations, or be made aware of any areas of the process that can be improved upon. These Client surveys provide the opportunity to continually improve and enhance Pinnacle’s build process, keep management informed and ensure quality and excellence. 

No matter what Builder you choose for your project, we believe you deserve to be properly educated by an authority in the industry; our goal is to help provide you with the resources necessary to help you navigate your way to a successful Renovation or Custom Home Build. These resources are designed to help guide you in what you should expect in all stages of your project – Before, During and After your Renovation or Custom Home Build.

CREATING A BUDGET FOR YOUR KITCHEN RENOVATIONS IN CALGARY

Figuring out how much you are able and willing to invest on a kitchen renovation, should start with having and in-depth conversation with an experienced design-build renovator. This conversation is to determine the scope or size of project required to accommodate your current list of needs, and the quality of the specifications of every single item installed.  From there, you will be able to plan a renovation that fits within the parameters of your available funds.

Other important things to consider when creating a budget for your kitchen remodel include your home’s current market value and how a potential kitchen overhaul might affect that value. A kitchen renovation isn’t always about improving your property’s re-sale value, especially when creating an accessible kitchen to accommodate someone in the home living with, or planning ahead for, mobility challenges. However, the current and potential market value of your home should be considered when deciding between a mid-range and luxury kitchen renovation, and how much you are willing to allocate to your kitchen transformation. The budget comes down to how you view the most important and widely used room in your home; is it strictly about ROI/return on investment, or is it ROL/Return on Lifestyle? The answer is unique to each family and the importance they place on their kitchen.

HOW CAN A GUARANTEED START AND COMPLETION DATE BE ACHIEVED?

Once again, the word ‘experience’ comes to play; with a tried-and-true process along with a signature on the contract from the Renovation owner, a guaranteed start and completion date can be achieved, even amidst current supply chain hiccups. Having a vetted group of suppliers and trades that an experienced renovation company would have in hand, is the only way to achieve these kinds of guarantees. But it must be in writing, and the company you are interviewing should have decade(s) long experience supporting their promises, along with 3rd party Reviews that confirm these start and completion dates were indeed achieved. Trust your instinct when interviewing; and did we mention; look for experience?

CONTRACTOR DISAPPOINTMENTS

Planning for a kitchen renovation should be extremely exciting, but if you aren’t working with the right renovator, it can also end up being quite a stressful process as well. You may have heard the horror stories where project start dates are promised, then missed, along with unforeseen cost over-runs. At Pinnacle Group, our SCC 3-Way Guarantee™ is a promise that we make to every client we serve. That promise is to guarantee the Start date, Completion date, and Cost of your project.

HOW CAN A HOMEOWNER AVOID RENOVATION COST OVER-RUNS?

As the old saying goes; nothing beats experience. In the renovation world, that certainly rings true; as most anyone can rip apart walls and spaces, but how do you know what’s behind those walls to ensure surprises don’t show up leading to cost over-runs? Unlike HGTV who play on drama to heighten viewership; a seasoned and experienced renovator should rarely, if ever run into surprises; and sadly that’s what these shows don’t seem to point out; our question is what kind of professional renovator are you if there is a ‘surprise’ and what kind of due diligence was done BEFORE starting the project? if the right Building Planning Process (BPP) occurs early in the design; including bringing key professionals on site; surprises should be mitigated. Pros like engineers, applicable trades impacted by the design, thermal cameras, along with a keen understanding of bearing point loads; surprises are rare, and if so with a guaranteed cost; none of this should be passed on to you the homeowner.

WHY CHOOSE US AS YOUR KITCHEN RENOVATION CONTRACTORS IN CALGARY?

Having all parties involved in the conversation from the onset allows valuable input into the final project solution, providing you with a synergistic solution and an achievable result. With this level of planning prior to the start of your Calgary kitchen renovations, unforeseen project delays and costs are mitigated.

CALGARY KITCHEN CABINETS BY PINNACLE GROUP

Customers love knowing that utilizing Pinnacle Custom Cabinets for their kitchen cabinets means they won’t have to deal with delays in the manufacturing of their project’s kitchen cabinetry or millwork. This is a common issue consumer’s experience when building their Calgary kitchen cabinets, because delays in cabinetry are often what bring a kitchen renovation contractor to a grinding halt; resulting in cost over-runs and missed completion dates.

LUXURY KITCHEN RENOVATIONS IN CALGARY

Luxury kitchen renovations are a big part of overall home redesign, and there are many options to choose from when deciding how to proceed with your own. A major consideration of luxury kitchens is how they can seem intimate, yet bold and spacious; achieving this requires an experienced touch and an exceptional attention to detail and layout. So, when planning yours, don’t limit yourself by thinking of what cannot be done. Instead, take advantage of our free consultation to discover all that can be done. We are experts at bringing the luxury kitchens of Calgary to life.

Think of what Calgary luxury kitchens mean to you – what will you use as inspiration? For you in particular, what can capture the spirit and laughter of a thousand meals, and infuse it into the room around you? The gleaming hardware, solid countertops, and sleek new appliances are important, but so too is the personality of your own luxury kitchen design. At Pinnacle, we ensure that every detail is just right for the dream kitchen you have in mind, and we oversee every step of the process as it comes together.

KITCHEN COLOURS

In 2024, colourful kitchen cabinetry has continued to emerge as an increasingly popular design trend. Homeowners are showing off their personality and adventurous sides this year by selecting bold navy blues or forest greens for their two tone kitchen cabinetry and island.

L-SHAPED KITCHENS

L-Shaped kitchens are quite popular because they offer plenty of storage and practical flow. These layouts will help you make the best use of your space, and can be further improved with the addition of a central island. 

GALLERY KITCHENS

Gallery Kitchens can help make the most of your square footage, particularly in smaller spaces. In a Gallery layout, you have a longer and narrower kitchen, with a corridor running between two walls that will each feature the kitchen’s counters, storage solutions and appliances.

U-SHAPED KITCHENS

U-Shaped kitchens are similar to the Gallery layout described above, but will have an added counter that connects both walls creating the U-Shape sometimes forming a peninsula.
