High-End Kitchen Renovations in Edmonton — Designed, Built, and Managed by One Team
LARA Kitchen & Bath specializes in fully custom, design-driven kitchen renovations for homeowners who want a controlled, high-quality result — not a patchwork of trades and guesswork.
Led by Lawrence Mattar with over 25 years of experience in cabinetry and stone, our team delivers complete kitchen transformations with full project oversight — from design and material selection to fabrication and installation.
We are not a fit for budget renovations or partial DIY projects. Our process is built for clients who value precision, premium materials, and a clear, structured execution from start to finish.
What’s Included in Every Kitchen Renovation
Each LARA kitchen renovation is built as a fully integrated system — not a collection of disconnected services. Every element is planned, coordinated, and executed under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks.
Custom Cabinetry
Fully custom-built cabinetry designed specifically for your space — no fillers, no modular compromises. Every cabinet is engineered to your exact dimensions using solid birch plywood construction with soft-close hinges and drawer slides. We build what fits your kitchen, not what comes off a shelf.
Cosentino Countertops (Dekton & Silestone)
As an authorized Cosentino partner, we provide direct access to premium Dekton and Silestone surfaces — selected for durability, performance, and long-term value. These are not entry-level materials. They are engineered stone surfaces built to withstand daily use without degradation. Visit our Edmonton showroom to see the full range of colors and finishes in person.
Photorealistic Design & Visualization
Detailed 3D renderings allow full visualization of your new kitchen before construction begins. Our interior designer, Karin Chaya IDT, creates photorealistic models so you can evaluate layout, material pairings, and finishes with confidence — eliminating guesswork and costly mid-project changes.
Appliance Integration
Seamless appliance integration is planned during the design phase — not figured out during installation. Built-in refrigerators, panel-ready dishwashers, and professional-grade ranges are accounted for in every cabinet dimension and countertop cutout before manufacturing begins.
Electrical & Plumbing Coordination
All required trade coordination is handled within the project scope. Under-cabinet lighting, additional circuits, pot fillers, relocated plumbing — every modification is planned in advance, permitted where required, and executed to current Alberta building codes.
Structured Project Management
A single point of accountability with defined milestones. You will always know what phase your project is in, what’s coming next, and who to contact. No chasing trades. No ambiguous timelines. No excuses.
Our Kitchen Renovation Process
LARA follows a structured five-phase process designed to eliminate the chaos that plagues most renovation projects. Each phase has clear deliverables and sign-off points before the next begins.
Phase 1: Consultation & Feasibility
We meet at your home or our Edmonton showroom at 12424 102 Ave NW to assess your space, discuss your objectives, and determine whether your project is a fit for our process. This is not a sales pitch — it’s a feasibility conversation. We evaluate structural constraints, budget alignment, and project scope before committing to a design phase.
Phase 2: Design & Material Lock
Once feasibility is confirmed, our designer develops photorealistic 3D renderings of your new kitchen. You select materials — cabinetry finishes, Cosentino surfaces, hardware, fixtures — and we lock the design. No scope creep. No last-minute substitutions. Everything is documented and approved before we move to manufacturing.
Phase 3: Precision Measurement & Engineering
Final measurements are taken with precision tooling to ensure every cabinet, countertop, and fixture fits exactly as designed. Engineering drawings are produced for manufacturing. This step eliminates the field adjustments and improvisation that cause delays and quality issues on other projects.
Phase 4: Manufacturing & Scheduling Control
Your custom cabinets are built to specification. Countertops are fabricated. All materials and fixtures are ordered and tracked. Installation is scheduled only when every component is confirmed ready — not before. This prevents the start-stop-wait cycle that drags most renovations past their deadlines.
Phase 5: Installation, Deficiency Tracking & Final Walkthrough
Our installation team executes methodically, maintaining a clean and organized worksite throughout. Every detail is tracked against the approved design. Before handover, we conduct a formal walkthrough with a deficiency checklist — every drawer, every hinge, every seam is inspected and signed off. We don’t consider a project complete until every item is resolved.
Kitchen Renovation Cost in Edmonton
Typical LARA projects range from $40,000 to $100,000+. The final investment depends on scope, materials, and the level of structural modification required. Here is a general framework:
| Project Scope | Typical Investment | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | $25,000 – $40,000 | Cosmetic updates using existing layout — new cabinet doors, countertops, hardware, and finishes. |
| Custom Renovation | $40,000 – $80,000 | Full cabinetry replacement, upgraded Cosentino surfaces, new lighting, backsplash, and minor layout modifications. |
| Luxury / Architectural | $80,000 – $120,000+ | Full redesign with structural changes, premium finishes, integrated appliances, and complete electrical and plumbing reconfiguration. |
We provide detailed, transparent quotes after an in-home consultation. Every quote includes a complete breakdown of materials, labour, and project management. There are no hidden fees. If your project doesn’t align with our minimum scope, we’ll tell you upfront rather than waste your time.
Kitchen Renovation Timeline
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Edmonton? Most LARA projects follow this timeline:
| Phase | Duration |
|---|---|
| Design & Planning | 2 – 4 weeks |
| Manufacturing | 4 – 8 weeks |
| Installation | 3 – 5 weeks |
| Total Project Timeline | 10 – 16 weeks (typical) |
Timeline is affected by design complexity, material lead times, and whether structural changes are required. We provide a project-specific timeline during consultation and hold ourselves accountable to it. We don’t start installation until every material is confirmed and on-site — which is why our projects finish on schedule while others stall.

Kitchen Renovation Edmonton — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Edmonton?
Typical LARA kitchen renovations range from $25,000 for a cosmetic refresh to $120,000+ for a full architectural transformation. The final cost depends on scope, materials, and structural requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after an in-home consultation — no estimates pulled from thin air.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
