Serving Milton
Welcome
Kitchen & Bath Renovator in Milton
Looking after Milton and the surrounding area since 2012.
Est. 2012Who we are
Counterline Kitchen & Bath will take a kitchen or bathroom from the first sketch to the final inspection with the same people answering the phone the whole way. Selections get made before demolition, the plumber and electrician are licensed and permitted, the shower is waterproofed and flood tested before tile, and change orders are priced in writing before anything gets done. Renovating the two most-used rooms in the house is disruptive enough; the process should not add to it.
What we offer
Work we take on for homes and businesses in Milton and nearby.
Demolition to the last cabinet handle: layout, cabinets, quartz or laminate counters, backsplash, lighting, flooring and the appliance hookups, sequenced so the electrician is not waiting on the countertop templater. One contract, one schedule, one person answering the phone.
Taken down to the studs, framed square, waterproofed with a Schluter-KERDI or equivalent membrane that is flood tested before any tile goes on, and vented to the outside as the Ontario Building Code requires. Rebuilt with the vanity, tile and fixtures you actually chose, not whatever the supplier had on the shelf.
Measured drawings and a 3D layout so you can see the island, the sightlines and where the fridge door swings before anything is ordered. We walk you through cabinet lines, counters, tile and fixtures with a decision deadline for each, because the schedule only holds if the choices are made before demolition.
Custom, semi-custom or IKEA cabinets installed level and plumb on shimmed bases, with quartz, granite or laminate counters templated after the boxes are set so the seams and overhangs come out right. Soft-close hardware, filler strips and toe kicks fitted so nothing looks like it came out of a flat pack.
Sinks moved, islands wired, gas ranges piped, dedicated circuits for the fridge and dishwasher, GFCI protection at the counter and pot lights on dimmers, all done by our licensed plumber and ECRA/ESA licensed electrical contractor. The ESA notification and the plumbing permit are filed and inspected before anything gets drywalled over.
Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless entries, linear drains, hand-held sprays and blocking in the walls for grab bars, so the bathroom works for a parent moving in or a knee that is not what it was. Comfort-height toilets, wider doorways and slip-rated tile are planned into the layout, not bolted on later.
Load-bearing walls between kitchen and living room opened up with an engineered LVL or steel beam, temporary shoring while it goes in, and an engineer's letter and building permit for the file. Floors patched and ceilings blended so it looks like the house was always that way.
Municipal building permit for structural, plumbing and layout changes, ESA notification for the electrical, and every inspection booked and met by us. You get the closed permit and the ESA Certificate of Acceptance for your records, which is what a buyer's lawyer asks for later.
For your peace of mind

Good questions
It depends more on scope than on square footage. Keeping the layout, reusing the plumbing and electrical locations and choosing stock cabinets with a mid-range quartz keeps a kitchen at the low end; moving the sink to an island, opening a wall and going custom can double it. Bathrooms follow the same rule — a tub-to-shower swap in the same footprint costs a fraction of relocating the toilet and running a new drain. After a site visit we give you a fixed price broken out by trade, so you can see where the money is going and what to cut if it needs cutting.
A bathroom is usually three to five weeks on site, a kitchen six to ten, provided every selection is made and delivered before demolition. Custom cabinets alone run six to twelve weeks from order to delivery, so the calendar starts with the order, not the sledgehammer. We set up a temporary kitchen corner with the fridge and microwave, and keep one bathroom working where the house has two.
If you are only replacing cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures in the same spots, usually not. Move plumbing, add or change electrical circuits, remove a wall or change a window and you do — a building permit from the municipality, an ESA notification for the electrical, and a plumbing inspection. We file them, book the inspections and hand you the paperwork at the end. Unpermitted work surfaces at resale and can void an insurance claim, so we do not skip it to save two weeks.
You can, and some people enjoy it. The catch is that whoever supplies it owns the problem when a box arrives damaged, a faucet is missing its rough-in valve or the tile runs short — and the schedule stalls while it gets sorted. When we supply, we check it, store it and warranty it. If you want to source your own, we give you a spec sheet with the exact rough-in and quantity to order, and we tell you before you buy if something will not work with the layout.
For most kitchens and bathrooms, yes. We seal the work area with dust barriers, run an air scrubber on demolition days, work regular weekday hours and clean up before we leave. The hardest week is demolition; after that it is noise and people in the house rather than mess everywhere. If you have one bathroom and it is the one being redone, we talk about staying elsewhere for the tile and waterproofing week.
A written two-year workmanship warranty on the contract, separate from the manufacturer warranties on cabinets, counters, fixtures and appliances, which we register in your name and pass through. If a door sags, a caulk joint opens or a drain slows down in that window, we come back and fix it without a debate.
