Kitchen Renovations in Paddington
Custom kitchen renovations from a like-for-like refresh through to full structural reconfiguration with an island, walk-in pantry and integrated appliances. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering kitchen renovations across Paddington and the wider Brisbane region.
Kitchen Renovations in Paddington - what to expect
Paddington is hilly, tightly packed and full of character housing. Renovating here rewards builders who can work on difficult sites without damaging what makes the home worth keeping. Timber workers' cottages and Queenslanders on steep, narrow blocks, many already partially renovated. Kitchens, bathrooms, under-house conversions and rear decks are typical. For kitchen renovations specifically, this matters. Steep sites, tight street frontages and character overlay constraints are the three big factors. Material handling is often manual, so honest quoting up front matters more here than almost anywhere in Brisbane. Every Paddington project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our kitchen renovations service in Paddington
Design and cabinetry
We plan the kitchen around how you actually cook and gather - bench runs, appliance placement, drawer versus door storage, bin and pantry positions. Cabinetry is made to measure rather than adjusted from stock modules, so you get usable storage in every millimetre.
Stone, splashbacks and appliances
Engineered or natural stone benchtops templated after cabinetry install, splashbacks in tile, stone or glass, and full appliance integration including rangehood ducting and dishwasher plumbing. Appliance specification is locked before cabinetry is manufactured to avoid costly rework.
Plumbing, electrical and finishing
Relocated sinks, new power and lighting circuits, under-cabinet lighting and correct ventilation are handled by licensed trades. We finish with cornice, painting, kick detailing and a clean site so the kitchen is ready to use on handover day.
What kitchen renovations cost in Paddington (2026)
A quality kitchen renovation generally runs $25,000-$45,000, with larger custom kitchens involving structural change, stone islands and integrated appliances landing $50,000-$90,000+. Prices vary with access, existing condition and the level of finish you choose. Steep sites, tight street frontages and character overlay constraints are the three big factors. Material handling is often manual, so honest quoting up front matters more here than almost anywhere in Brisbane.
How long kitchen renovations take
Most kitchen renovations take 3-5 weeks on site once cabinetry is manufactured, with 4-6 weeks lead time on custom joinery and stone.
