Elmira's Trusted Kitchen Renovation Contractor
Elmira is a community where quality matters. When it comes to a kitchen renovation — a space your family uses every single day — the standard of workmanship has to be right and the result has to hold up for years.
​
LUMA Build Design is a family-owned general contractor based in Fergus, serving Elmira and Woolwich Township as part of our regular service area for over 20 years. We renovate kitchens for homeowners across Elmira and the surrounding Woolwich area — from full gut renovations with custom cabinetry and new layouts to targeted upgrades that transform how the space functions without a complete rebuild.
​
We manage the complete project — design consultation, 3D renders so you can see the finished kitchen before work begins, material selections, permits through the Township of Woolwich, and all trades coordinated by one team from start to final walkthrough.
Kitchen Renovation Services in Elmira
Custom Cabinetry & Millwork
Fully custom cabinetry built to your Elmira kitchen's exact dimensions and your style. Custom wood options across a range of door styles and finishes — painted, stained, natural — with soft-close hardware, pull-out systems and pantry solutions. Built to fit the space properly and last for decades — not a semi-custom catalogue order with limited sizing options.
Layout Reconfigurations & Islands
Open up a closed kitchen, reconfigure a galley layout, or add a properly built island. We handle structural changes, countertop installations in stone, quartz or granite, and kitchen island builds — all coordinated by LUMA including any load-bearing wall work, plumbing relocations and electrical.
Tile, Backsplash & Flooring Tile
Tile backsplash design and installation, new kitchen flooring, and all finish work. We help you select materials that work together and complement your home — and install them properly from the substrate up. No shortcuts on preparation that show up as problems a few years later.
Lighting, Electrical & Plumbing
New lighting layouts, under-cabinet lighting, electrical upgrades for modern appliances, and plumbing for relocated sinks or new connections — all coordinated by LUMA. We also provide 3D design concepts and material renders for every project so you can see your finished kitchen before a single cabinet is installed.

LUMA assesses what's required and handles the process if needed.

Yes. We provide 3D renders and material samples for every kitchen project so you can see the finished result before any work begins.
