01Kitchens
The crew covered the floors and cleaned up at the end of every day, which mattered with two kids at home. The new kitchen is the room everyone ends up in now. Worth every week of takeout.

Kitchen Renovations in Mississauga
Kitchen renovations in Mississauga draw the range wall first. Moving the range means moving the gas line, the circuit that feeds it and the duct above it, so those are planned together before the room is opened.

What’s included
What goes into
a kitchen renovation.
Each later piece is measured off the one before it, and the layout and walls go ahead of all of them.
Layout changes and opening up walls
Layout changes happen here: walls can open up, the room can change shape, and the range, sink and fridge are fixed.
Cabinetry and millwork
The counters take their template from the cabinets and millwork, which are built for the new layout and not for the old.
Counters and backsplash
The counter template is taken from the installed cabinets. The backsplash comes last, set to the finished counters.
Flooring and lighting
Outlet and light positions get set at the layout stage, ahead of the wiring inspection. Flooring is laid with the finishes.
Plumbing, electrical and gas, coordinated
Three trades share the one room, and the builder schedules them. Walls stay open until plumbing and electrical have passed inspection.
How it runs
One bay of it,
stage by stage.
Whole houses and rooms alike follow the same order: five stages, each answered for by one builder.
- 01
Permits
Relocating the sink, or a wall, sends drawings and an application in first.
- 02
Structure
No trade arrives until the layout is set. Walls are removed or moved.
- 03
Trades
Behind open walls, gas, plumbing and electrical are roughed in. Inspections come before drywall.
- 04
Finishes
Installed cabinets give the template for the counters, and the backsplash comes after.
- 05
Handover
If a permit applies, a final inspection comes before the kitchen is turned over.
Why Hanna Homes
Why one builder
for all of it.
The order the builder works in matters in a kitchen. Three trades share one room, and every finish is measured off the one before.
Measurements for everything after come from the layout, so before any demolition the walls are decided, and the sink, fridge and range are placed.
A range that moves takes its gas line, hood duct and circuit along, so that wall is drawn with all three first.
A template is taken from the cabinets once they are installed, and the backsplash is cut to the finished counters, so each piece fits the one before.
Inspected wiring does not come out for a late idea, because the positions of outlets, lights and appliances were set on paper first.

02Kitchens
Third builder we spoke to, and the only one who returned every call. When we changed our minds about the island halfway through, they made it work without any drama.
03Whole home
We put off the whole house for years because we couldn’t picture living through it. Akram walked us through every stage before it started, and each week went the way he said it would.
04Custom homes
Building a new house was the biggest decision we’ve ever made, and it never felt rushed. We walked the site most Saturdays and always knew exactly where things stood.
05Basement apartments
We turned the basement into a unit for my mother-in-law. She has her own entrance and her own kitchen, and we still get Sunday dinners. The paperwork I was dreading turned out to be the part I thought about least.
06Additions
We needed more room but didn’t want to leave the street. The second storey went on over the summer, and from the sidewalk you’d think the house was always built that way.
07Bathrooms
One bathroom is a small job for a builder, but they treated it like the whole house. The tile lines up, the door finally closes properly, and they finished the week they said they would.
08Knockdown & rebuild
Our old bungalow wasn’t worth saving, so we took it down and built new on the same lot. They kept the neighbours in the loop from demolition to the final walk-through. We love coming home to it.
09Basements
The basement used to be storage and a furnace. Now it’s a family room the kids actually want to be in. A clear quote, no surprises, and the site was swept every night.
10Whole home
We bought an older house knowing it needed everything. Akram was straight with us from the first visit about what was worth keeping. Every room is new to us now, and it still feels like the house we fell for.

Common questions
Common questions
in Mississauga.
What Mississauga homeowners ask about kitchen renovations: what it costs, how long it takes and what the city asks for.
In Mississauga the sink is a cost question. A sink that is added, removed or relocated needs a building permit, so a kitchen that keeps its sink in place avoids a plumbing review and one that moves it does not. Cabinetry, counters, flooring and lighting come after the layout, and the scaled drawings the city asks for are part of the work. A figure follows the plan.
The drawings come first. Mississauga asks for scaled drawings of the existing kitchen and the proposed one before a permit application, which puts a design step ahead of demolition. Then the order is fixed: cabinetry built to the layout, counters templated to the cabinets, backsplash set to the counters. Each waits on the one before it.
If the sink moves, yes: Mississauga requires a building permit for a plumbing fixture that is added, removed or relocated. Moving walls and structural changes need one as well. Replacing cabinets and counters without changing the layout usually does not, and the city's building division settles the borderline cases.
Yes, and the plan treats it as a decision with consequences. A relocated sink brings a permit and a plumbing review, and it fixes where the cabinetry can run. Settled in the first drawings, it is one line on the schedule; settled after the cabinets are ordered, it means redrawing.
Once the cabinets are installed, the counters are measured to them, and the backsplash is cut to the counters afterward, so each piece is taken off the one before. The cabinetry is built to the new layout first, and flooring and lighting finish the room, with plumbing, electrical and gas already in behind the walls.

Before you build,
people in Mississauga ask.
What people in Mississauga search before kitchen renovations, answered for the town.
Whether it moves, and what that does to the schedule. Mississauga requires a building permit when a sink is added, removed or relocated, so a contractor who prices the job without knowing is guessing at the permit and the drawings.
The city asks that drawings be to scale and says they should use metric measurements. They show the kitchen as it exists and the changes proposed, and they are prepared before the permit application.
The renovation stays out of the plumbing review. Replacing the cabinets, counters, flooring and lighting around a sink that keeps its place does not trigger the fixture rule, though the layout is still drawn before demolition is booked.

Kitchen renovation permits in Mississauga
Mississauga requires a building permit when a plumbing fixture such as a sink is added, removed or relocated. In a kitchen that is the whole question: a renovation that keeps the sink where it is and replaces everything around it stays out of the plumbing review, and one that moves the sink brings a permit and a plumbing review into the schedule.
For interior alterations the city asks for drawings to scale that clearly show what exists and what is proposed. Those are prepared before the application, so the layout is drawn, not sketched, before demolition is booked.

Kitchen remodel in Mississauga, sink to counters
A kitchen remodel here is the room rebuilt. The layout is settled first, with walls opened where the plan calls for it. Cabinetry and millwork follow the new plan, the counters are measured to the cabinets, the backsplash is cut to the counters, and flooring and lighting finish it.
Plumbing, electrical and gas run behind all of it. Three trades meet in one room, and the builder schedules them before the walls are closed.
Kitchen renovation cost and timing in Mississauga
Wall changes, plumbing moves, the cabinetry and the counters are what move the cost. Of those, the plumbing move is the one with a rule attached in Mississauga: relocating a fixture needs a permit and the drawings that go with it, which is design time and review time added in front of the build.
Timing runs in the sequence the room is built in. The drawings come first, then the permit where one applies, then the trades, then cabinetry, counters, backsplash, flooring and lighting. Cabinetry lead time sits inside that order, because it cannot start before the layout is final.
Kitchen renovation contractors in Mississauga: one builder, one plan
A kitchen contractor should be able to say who handles the sink, the range and the dishwasher connections and when. The answer is the builder, who coordinates the plumbing, electrical and gas and schedules them before the walls close.
Hanna Homes, a licensed builder working from Burlington, 30 minutes away, takes a kitchen from the layout through to the lighting under one plan.
