Canada Bay sits on the water in the Inner West, and the housing reflects both the older established streets and the newer waterfront development. You get well-kept double-brick and Federation homes back from the bay, plus a growing number of modern apartments and townhouses along the foreshore and around Rhodes and Concord West. The older homes usually have dated, closed-off kitchens that are crying out for an open layout, while the newer apartments came with developer kitchens that look fine but use flat-pack cabinets and waste the bench. Canada Bay owners tend to want a quality kitchen that suits a sought-after waterside suburb, whether that is opening up a solid brick home or upgrading a modern unit. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool, and the Inner West is a regular run for us. Twelve years in, we run one crew across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so you deal with us rather than chasing five separate trades. You get a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums, stone benchtops, soft-close hardware and appliances at trade cost so more of your budget lands on what you see and use. Most Canada Bay kitchens are on site for around three weeks. We strip the old one, sort the services, fit the cabinetry and stone, tile, paint and hand it back clean and ready to cook in.
We come to your Canada Bay home, measure every wall and check the plumbing and power before we quote. You get one fixed price covering cabinetry, stone, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting. No provisional sums and no surprise extras turning up halfway through the build.
We settle the layout, door finishes, benchtop stone, handles and appliances together, then order it all at trade cost. Once you sign off, the design is locked so the team builds to an exact spec and nothing drifts on you partway through the job.
Your cabinets are built while we book the trades in the right order. Because it is one team, the plumber, sparky, tiler and painter are all coordinated by us. You get a clear start date and a realistic finish, usually around three weeks on site.
We strip the old kitchen, run new services, fit cabinetry and stone, tile the splashback, paint and connect appliances. Before we leave we clean up and walk you through everything. You get your warranty paperwork and a kitchen ready to use that night.
Most Canada Bay kitchens land between $20,000 and $60,000, with the bulk of our jobs in the $25,000 to $45,000 mid-range. What moves the price is the size of the kitchen, the stone you choose, laminate versus two-pac doors, and how much we change the layout. Opening up a closed kitchen in an older double-brick home, where solid walls add work, costs more than a tidy upgrade in a modern foreshore apartment. We give you one fixed-price quote up front with no provisional sums, so the figure you sign is the figure you pay. Buying appliances at trade cost usually claws back a fair chunk of the budget too.
Once your cabinets are made and we start on site, a typical Canada Bay kitchen takes around three weeks. The first days are demolition and roughing in the plumbing and electrical. Then cabinets go in, the stone is templated and fitted, tiling and painting follow, and we finish by connecting appliances and cleaning up. The lead time before we begin depends on cabinet manufacture and your finish choices, which is why we lock the design in early. Because we run one team across every trade, we are not waiting on outside subbies, so the three weeks stays tight and predictable whether it is an apartment or an older home.
Yes, and there are plenty around the foreshore and the Rhodes side. Apartment kitchens are often galley or one-wall layouts, so the job is about getting more usable bench and smart storage out of a tight footprint without moving waterproofed wet areas you are not allowed to touch. Strata buildings have rules on work hours, lift use, protecting common areas and notifying neighbours, so we sort the building manager and any owners corporation requirements before we start. We will tell you straight what can and cannot change in your unit. As a licensed NSW contractor we provide the paperwork strata managers ask for, which keeps the approval moving and the job on track.
We are a family-run business, not a franchise, so you deal with the same people from quote to handover. We are based in Liverpool and the Inner West is a regular run, so we are easy to reach. Twelve years in, we have done both older double-brick kitchens and modern apartment fit-outs around Canada Bay. One team covers cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so there is no chasing five contractors and no finger-pointing when something needs coordinating. You get a fixed-price quote, trade-cost appliances, a roughly three-week build, and a licensed NSW contractor standing behind every part of the work.
