JDH Projects · Red Seal Carpentry

Kitchen renovations in Victoria, BC

A kitchen is the renovation with the most moving parts — cabinetry, appliances, plumbing, electrical, flooring and finishing all landing in one room. One Red Seal carpenter sees it through.

Sooke kitchen renovation

A kitchen renovation with JDH covers the carpentry and the coordination: full cabinetry install, integrated appliances, and the finishing details done right. The plumber and the electrician are brought in and held to the same standard as the carpentry.

The Sooke kitchen below was built around how the family actually cooks. That is the starting question at the walkthrough — not the finish list.

The commercial side

How it’s priced.

Two ways, chosen together at the quote stage: transparent cost-plus, where you see every invoice, or a fixed price when you would rather have certainty. The quote is in writing with no mystery lines. Figures come after a walkthrough of your home — there is no price list.

DepositsLarger projects typically start with a deposit; smaller quick jobs usually do not need one. The exact terms are set out in the written quote and contract.
Changes mid-jobOn cost-plus work, changes are talked through, the contract scope is amended to include them, and time and trade invoices are all disclosed. On fixed-price work, changes go through a written change order.
PermitsWhere a permit applies, the work proceeds under it with proper inspections. That protects your home’s value and your insurance.

Before you ask

Kitchens — questions we get.

Do you install kitchen cabinets?

Yes — full cabinetry install is part of a JDH kitchen, along with custom built-ins: shelving, cabinetry and storage made to the space.

Who does the plumbing and electrical in a kitchen renovation?

For multi-part renovations we bring in electricians, plumbers, and other trades we trust, and hold everyone to a high standard. Significant electrical, plumbing or painting goes to those trades rather than being tackled one-off.

Do you design the kitchen?

We do not do design work in-house. We work with designers and can connect you with one as part of general contracting.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Victoria?

Two ways, chosen together at the quote stage: transparent cost-plus, where you see every invoice, or a fixed price when you would rather have certainty. The quote is in writing with no mystery lines. Figures come after a walkthrough of your home — there is no price list.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation?

Where a permit applies, the work proceeds under it with proper inspections. That protects your home’s value and your insurance.

Can I use my kitchen while the work is happening?

Often yes, but it is situation-dependent — depending on how disruptive the work is, you may lose the use of one or more rooms for a stretch. Floor protection, dust barriers and a daily tidy are standard, and pets and children are kept away from the work areas.

Do you do the flooring and tile too?

Yes — hardwood, engineered and tile, laid level, tight and lasting. Full tile work was part of the Saanich bathroom project as well.

Are you insured and bonded?

Red Seal certified, insured and bonded, with documentation available on request. WorkSafeBC coverage is confirmed on request and the WCB number appears on our documentation.
