Kitchen Renovations in Stratford, St. Marys, Tavistock & Mitchell
The kitchen is the hub of your home. It’s where meals are prepared, kids do homework, guests gather and families start and end their day. When a kitchen is cramped, dark or poorly laid out, it affects how the whole house feels. At CJS Carpentry, we specialize in kitchen renovations that improve both the look and the function of your space, while respecting your budget and existing home.
Whether you’re dreaming of a brighter, more open kitchen or simply want better cabinets and storage, we provide detailed planning, careful craftsmanship and reliable communication from start to finish.
Transform Your Kitchen Into a Functional, Beautiful Space
The kitchen is the heart of your home — and when it’s designed well, it improves your lifestyle every single day. At CJS Carpentry, we create functional, stylish, and high-quality kitchens that blend craftsmanship with smart design. Whether you want a full remodel or selective upgrades, we deliver results that stand out for their precision and long-lasting value.
A great kitchen renovation does more than look good — it improves workflow, storage, lighting, and the overall experience of cooking and hosting. We help you achieve a layout and design that fits your home, family, and budget.

-
Removing walls to create open-concept layouts
-
Installing new cabinets or reconfiguring existing ones
-
Adding an island for workspace and storage
-
Updating flooring and lighting
-
Installing new backsplashes and countertops
-
Improving appliance placement and utility connections
-
Enhancing ventilation and electrical layouts
From modern farmhouse kitchens to sleek contemporary styles, our work is tailored to your vision.
A Thoughtful Approach to Kitchen Design
Every kitchen renovation begins with understanding how you use your space today and how you’d like to use it in the future. During our in-home consultation in Stratford, St. Marys, Tavistock or Mitchell, we’ll walk through your kitchen with you and talk about:
- What frustrates you about your current layout
- How many people normally cook or spend time in the kitchen
- Whether you entertain often
- What kind of storage you’re missing
- Your preferred style, colours and finishes
Full-Service Kitchen Renovation
CJS Carpentry manages the full scope of kitchen remodels, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple trades. Our services typically include:
Layout Improvements & Structural Work
Sometimes the biggest improvement is simply changing how the space is organized.
Open up your kitchen with wall adjustments, structural framing, or reconfiguring existing space.
If your current layout feels cramped or inefficient, we can redesign it to improve flow. In many cases, removing or relocating walls creates an open, inviting living space that increases comfort and home value.
Cabinetry Installation & Modifications
Cabinetry has the biggest impact on your kitchen’s functionality. We install:
-
Custom cabinets
-
Pre-built cabinetry
-
Soft-close hardware
-
Pantry units
-
Island cabinets
-
Floating shelves
If you’re keeping your existing cabinets, we can modify layouts or add custom pieces to improve storage.
Countertops & Backsplashes
Your countertops and backsplash need to stand up to daily use and be easy to clean. We work with a range of materials including quartz, laminate, butcher block and more. For backsplashes, we install classic subway tile, mosaics, stone looks and other designs that complement your cabinets and counters.
We handle measurement and installation for a wide range of countertop & backsplash materials. We work with all major options to match your style and budget.
Flooring & Lighting Upgrades
Flooring and lighting have a major impact on how comfortable your kitchen feels. We can replace worn flooring with durable options suitable for high-traffic areas, and we often recommend a layered lighting plan that includes:
- Pot lights for general illumination
- Under-cabinet lights for work surfaces
- Pendants over islands or eating areas
- Accent lighting to highlight features
Electrical, Plumbing & Ventilation
Behind every good kitchen is solid infrastructure. As part of your renovation we can:
- Add or relocate outlets and switches
- Improve task lighting and dedicated circuits
- Move plumbing lines for sinks, dishwashers or refrigerators
- Ensure proper venting for range hoods
This ensures your new kitchen isn’t just beautiful, but also safe and convenient to use.
Kitchens That Fit Your Lifestyle
We renovate kitchens for busy families, serious home cooks, entertainers and homeowners who simply want a more organized, enjoyable space. Some clients want a warm, traditional look; others prefer a clean, modern aesthetic. Our role is to translate your ideas into a buildable design that works in your home.
Common goals include:
- Creating an open-concept layout to connect kitchen, dining and living areas
- Adding an island with seating and extra storage
- Increasing counter space for cooking and baking
- Improving sightlines to backyards or main living spaces
- Making room for larger or more efficient appliances
Whatever your priorities, we help you make smart decisions that deliver value.
