Kitchen remodel
in Perth — new face, same bones
A kitchen remodel that keeps your layout and services where they are: new doors, benchtops, splashback, hardware and appliances. From $16,500 and two to three weeks on site — the fast version of a new kitchen.
When the layout works but the look doesn't
Half the kitchens we're asked to rebuild don't need rebuilding. If the layout is right and the cabinets are structurally sound, a remodel gets you 80% of the visual impact for about half the money — and you're cooking again in a fortnight.
We'll tell you straight at the measure which camp your kitchen falls into. If the carcasses are swollen with water damage or the layout fights you daily, the full renovation is the honest recommendation — we don't sell refreshes on kitchens that need surgery.
What's actually included
The same list goes into your contract, line for line. If it's not here, it gets quoted separately — not invoiced quietly later.
New doors, drawer fronts and panels in your finish — 2-pack, laminate or timber veneer. Hinges and runners upgraded to soft-close.
IncludedOld tops off, new stone, timber or laminate on. Cutouts re-templated for your new sink and cooktop if you're changing them.
IncludedTiled, glass, stone or porcelain sheet — the single biggest visual change per dollar in a remodel.
IncludedNew handles, sink, tap and waste fittings. Undermount sink swaps are possible on stone tops.
IncludedLike-for-like swaps fitted and commissioned — new oven, induction where the circuit allows, rangehood, dishwasher.
IncludedUnder-cabinet LED strips and pendant swaps. New circuits are possible but start creeping toward electrical scope — we'll tell you if it's worth it.
Optional
What it costs
Guide rates for standard-spec work. Your fixed number comes after the free measure.
- Doors, tops, splashback, hardware
- Appliance swaps included
- 2–3 weeks on site
- Everything in Remodel
- Selected cabinets replaced or added
- Pantry/island mods within existing footprint

* The honest test: if more than a third of your cabinets need replacing, a remodel stops making sense — that's when we quote the full renovation instead.
How the job runs
Same playbook as every Apex job — measured, scheduled, reported every Friday. The about page covers the company side.
Photos of every stage land on your phone each Friday, including the hidden work before walls close.
- The honest measureWe check carcass condition, layout logic and what can be reused. If a remodel is the wrong product, we say so and show you why.
- Selections dayDoors, tops, splashback, handles, sink — all picked against physical samples in one session. Orders placed same week.
- Strip the facesOld doors, tops and splashback off. Carcasses checked and repaired where needed — this is the part nobody sees later.
- Fit the new faceNew tops templated and installed, fronts hung and aligned, splashback in, appliances commissioned.
- HandoverEvery door aligned, every runner adjusted. Two weeks from strip to a kitchen you'll want to show people.
What we put in, and why
Where the money goes
Benchtops eat about a third of a remodel budget, fronts a quarter. Handles and taps are the cheap wins — $400 of hardware can change the whole read of a room.
Honest durability notes
2-pack polyurethane looks premium and chips eventually. Good laminate shrugs off rental properties. Timber veneer ages beautifully and costs like it. We'll spec for how the kitchen gets used, not how it photographs.
What we won't do
Paint over swollen carcasses, re-face cabinets that are 5 mm out of square, or sell a splashback as a fix for a bad layout. If it's lipstick on a pig, we'll tell you and quote the pig properly.
