With the right home renovation company, you can sart a kitchen renovation that fulfills your needs while increasing your property value.

Here are some design and renovation elements you can incorporate into your kitchen.

Island or Peninsula

kitchen renovation company An island or peninsula quickly transforms any space, especially your entire kitchen. It creates an extra workspace while you're cooking and an accessible nook for eating while still giving you the openness you're looking for. However, adding in an island can be a daunting task to take on alone because you want to make sure you're not interrupting the flow of your open concept design, but you still want to take up enough space that it's worth including. This is why adding an island is an excellent discussion with an experienced team like the one at Rose Building Group so that you can avoid all the possible pitfalls.

New Flooring

Old flooring, particularly tiled flooring, can make your kitchen look dated and separate from the rest of your home. Introducing hardwood flooring to your kitchen adds to your home's flow while giving it a more modern aesthetic and complimenting the open-concept layout.

Backsplash

A backsplash is a great way to introduce colour or unique designs into your kitchen. Whether you're looking for a bold, standout pattern or you want a more elegant aesthetic to complement your cabinets, the right backsplash can elevate your entire kitchen. Consider your backsplash the accent detail that takes your kitchen to the next level. If you’re a fan of busier or more detailed backsplashes, a large open-concept kitchen is the perfect place to try these designs without crowding or overwhelming your space.

Countertops

Your countertops set the tone for your kitchen and are key to its usability. Good countertops should be durable and easy to clean, but they should still compliment the style of your kitchen. When done well, the right countertops will give your kitchen a clean and immaculate look that excites you to cook without making you dread the clean-up. When incorporating a new countertop into your kitchen try not block the entry way to and from your kitchen, so you can maintain a seamless flow.

Ceiling & Lighting

Pendant lighting fixtures are a staple in kitchen renovations because they are a great way to add a unique and personal design element. Pendant lights are also relatively easy to switch from one design to the next in case you choose to sell or rent your home.

Your ceiling may not seem like the most crucial aspect of your kitchen renovation, but it should not become an afterthought. A contemporary and stylish ceiling does wonders for the value of your property elevating the kitchen as a whole.

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.

Rose Building Group completed a living room renovation for me. Matthew and his team were a pleasure to work with and very professional.

Matthews team were patient with any questions or concerns I had and took the time to explain what was happening during the project and addressed any concerns. They are very professional and CLEAN.

I really enjoyed working with Matt and his team and I am very pleased with the workmanship from the trades they used.

Matts team also took the time to do some repair work for me that had some damage.

I will use Rose Building Group for my next home renovation
