How much should I budget for the complete renovation of my kitchen?
You must consider several factors; the kitchen includes many elements such as plumbing, electricity, lighting, ventilation, heating, finish carpentry, tiling, flooring, cabinets and countertops, paint, and decoration, etc. … Not to mention the purchase of new electrical appliances. The choice of materials largely influences the total cost of the project, hence the importance of carefully planning the design and layout with an experienced team that will help you achieve your goal, without breaking the bank. In general, the total price of a turnkey project is between $55,000 and $80,000. Every project is different and unique, and the best way to know the cost of your project is to contact us or meet us in our showroom so that we may advise you and meet your needs.
-
How long does it take to complete the work?
In general, a period of 30-40 working days (5-7 weeks) is required to completely renovate a kitchen. The total time may be extended by a few days for example, if we have to remove a bearing wall, add a new window, or change the location of structural members or appliances. The redesign of lighting and electrical circuits, as well as plumbing modifications must be considered. If only kitchen cabinets are to be installed, please allow 4 to 5 days depending on the complexity of the layout.

Must I leave my home during the work?
Your complete absence is not required, as the work takes place during normal working hours (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) from Monday to Friday. We install protective mats on the floors and stairs, isolate the work area from the rest of the house areas with plastic sheeting, and take care to clean up at the end of each workday. Just be prepared to have no access to your kitchen for about 6 weeks, and then you can enjoy your new layout!

What does the name Bröder mean?
In Swedish, bröder means “brothers”. Since the management team is made up of two brothers, among several other people, the choice of the name was derived from this inspiration.
The entire team is represented by a camaraderie of 14 core people; Christian, general manager, Simon, project manager and his wife Nathalie, showroom manager, Jean-Pierre, the brother, operations manager, Serge, technical manager, Geneviève, Patricia and Claudy, designers, Kimberly, technical coordinator, Suzanne, administrative assistant, and finally, Robert, Guy, Glenn and Aurélien, the construction team. -
What is the price per linear foot?
We do not offer a price by linear foot, simply because this practice does not represent the final price of a realistic project. Your kitchen project is like no other – it is unique in its design and construction, choice of accessories, and the choice of materials and options influence the final price. We prefer to calculate the actual price, offering you a realistic number based on your choices and preferences.
