Elora's Trusted Kitchen Renovation Contractor
Elora homes have a character that's worth building on. Whether you're updating a kitchen in a century stone home, renovating a newer build that never had the kitchen it deserved, or opening up a closed layout to match the way your family actually lives — a kitchen renovation in Elora is an investment in both daily life and long-term property value.
​
LUMA Build Design is a family-owned general contractor based right here in Centre Wellington. We've been renovating kitchens in Elora, Fergus and the surrounding area for over 20 years. We understand Elora's housing stock — from the older homes near the gorge to newer builds on the edge of town — and we know how to design and build kitchens that fit the character of the home they're in.
​
We manage the complete project — design consultation, 3D renders so you can see the finished kitchen before work begins, all materials and trades coordinated by one team from start to final walkthrough.
Kitchen Renovation Services in Elora
Custom Cabinetry & Millwork
Fully custom cabinetry built to your Elora 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, whether your kitchen is in a heritage home or a newer build.
Layout Reconfigurations & Islands
Open up a closed kitchen, reconfigure a galley layout, or add a properly built island. We handle structural changes, new countertop installations in stone, quartz or granite, and kitchen island builds — designed for how you actually use your space. For older Elora homes we assess existing structural conditions before any layout changes begin.
Tile, Backsplash & Flooring Tile
Tile backsplash design and installation, new kitchen flooring, and all finish work coordinated to work together. We help you select materials that complement your home's character — whether you want a contemporary finish or something that suits an older Elora property — and install them properly from the substrate up.
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.

Q: How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Elora?
Costs vary based on scope, size and finish level. A cosmetic refresh — new cabinet doors, countertops and backsplash without changing the layout — typically starts around $30,000–$45,000. A mid-range full renovation with new cabinetry, countertops, flooring and updated electrical typically ranges from $50,000–$75,000.

​
Q: Do older Elora homes have special considerations for kitchen renovations?
Yes. Older homes — particularly Elora's heritage and pre-war builds — can have structural configurations, plumbing layouts, and electrical systems that differ from newer construction. We assess these during the consultation so you know what you're working with before any work begins. No surprises once demolition starts.
​
Q: Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Elora?
Cosmetic changes generally don't require a permit. Renovations involving electrical upgrades, plumbing relocations, or structural changes like removing walls require a permit through the Township of Centre Wellington. LUMA assesses what's required and handles the process if needed.
​
Q: Do you build fully custom cabinetry for Elora kitchens?
Yes. LUMA builds fully custom cabinetry to your kitchen's exact dimensions — not semi-custom orders with limited sizing options. We offer custom wood options across a full range of door styles and finishes.
Q: Do you offer 3D design concepts? Yes. We provide 3D renders and material samples for every kitchen project so you can see the finished result before any work begins.
​
Q: How long does a kitchen renovation take in Elora?
A cosmetic refresh typically takes 3–5 weeks. A full renovation with new layout and cabinetry typically takes 6–10 weeks once materials are on order. Custom cabinetry lead times are factored into your schedule at the design stage.
