What it actually is
If you like where everything is in your kitchen but you cannot stand how it looks, you do not need to gut it.
The Ten Day Kitchen replaces everything you see and touch, while leaving the structure, the plumbing and the layout exactly where they are. The cabinet boxes stay. Everything on the front of them goes.
That is why it costs a fraction of a full renovation, and why it takes days rather than months.
What's included
- Every cabinet door and drawer front, replaced
- All visible panels, including gable ends and false fronts
- New countertops
- New backsplash tile
- New sink and faucet
- New hardware throughout
What's not included, and why
We do not touch appliances, electrical, flooring or painting. Focusing only on the work we have systemised is exactly what keeps the price fixed and the timeline short.
If you want those things done, we will happily point you to trusted people. And if you want the lot rebuilt from scratch, that is a Dependable kitchen renovation rather than a Ten Day Kitchen, and we do those too.

What it costs
The Ten Day Kitchen starts at CONFIRM WITH CHRIS $XX,XXX — the number is not set
For comparison, a custom kitchen renovation in Calgary typically starts around $75,000 and frequently passes $100,000. CONFIRM WITH CHRIS This was the published Click Reno claim. Verify before it goes back out.
The price is fixed before any work begins. Not an estimate, not a range that creeps. You see the number, you decide, and that is the number.
Live contradiction — blocks publication
The old site said "starting from $20K" while the working figure discussed was $25,000 to $30,000. These cannot both be on the page. Chris confirms the number before this publishes.
Ten working days
This is the part most people do not believe until they see it.
Once your kitchen is manufactured and delivered, our installers are in and out in ten working days. Not ten weeks. You lose your kitchen for two working weeks, and then you have it back.
That matters more than it sounds. The single most common reason Calgary homeowners put off a kitchen they hate is not the money, it is the thought of three months of dust, noise and takeaway food.
Content needed
A day-by-day or stage-by-stage breakdown of the ten days. Even rough ("days 1-2 strip out, days 3-5 cabinetry, days 6-7 counters, days 8-10 tile and finish") makes this concrete, and that specificity is exactly what gets quoted back by AI assistants.
Is your kitchen suitable?
Most Calgary homes built from the early 2000s onward have cabinets we can work with. The construction we need is a frameless cabinet box with hinges hidden on the inside, which is what the large majority of newer kitchens use.
You do not need to work this out yourself.
Send us a photo of your kitchen and we will tell you within a day. Open a cupboard door, take one picture, send it over. If it is suitable we will say so. If it is not, we will tell you that too, and suggest what would work instead.
Send a photo
One picture with a cupboard door open is enough.
Got it, thank you.
We will look at your kitchen and come back to you within a day.
Repaint, reface, or replace? The honest answer.
CONFIRM WITH CHRIS Pending keyword data: this section is a strong candidate to ALSO become its own page ("Repaint, reface or replace? An honest guide for Calgary kitchens"), leaving a condensed version here linking through.
There are five ways to deal with a kitchen you have gone off. They are genuinely different jobs at genuinely different prices, and most of the advice online is written by people who only sell one of them. Here is the honest version.
| Repainting | Redooring | Refacing | Ten Day Kitchen | Full renovation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What changes | Colour of existing doors | Doors only | Doors, fronts, box veneer, hardware | Everything visible: doors, fronts, panels, counters, backsplash, sink, faucet, hardware | Everything, including layout |
| Layout | Unchanged | Unchanged | Unchanged | Unchanged | Can change completely |
| Typical Calgary cost | CONFIRM WITH CHRIS ? | CONFIRM WITH CHRIS ? | CONFIRM WITH CHRIS ~$5,000-$15,000? | CONFIRM WITH CHRIS ? | $45,000 to $125,000 and up |
| Time on site | Days | Days | A few days | Ten working days | Two to four months |
| Best when | Doors are sound and only the colour dates them | Doors are damaged, everything else is fine | Doors date it but counters still look current | Everything visible is tired at once | The layout itself is the problem |
We only sell two of those five.
If your cabinet doors are structurally sound and it is only the colour dating your kitchen, paint them. It is the cheapest answer and for a great many kitchens it is the right one.
If the doors are damaged or dated but your countertops and backsplash still look current, reface. You will spend a fraction of what we charge and get most of the visual change.
A Ten Day Kitchen is the answer when everything you can see is tired at the same time. New doors above old countertops, or new countertops under old doors, usually makes the older half look worse rather than better. When it has all aged together, replacing it together is what actually works.
And if the layout is the real problem, no amount of new surfaces fixes it. That is a full kitchen renovation, and it is what the rest of Dependable does.

CONFIRM WITH CHRIS Lead time while the kitchen is made
Live contradiction — blocks publication
The old site said "8 weeks" in one place and "less than 6 weeks" in another, alongside a 4-week manufacturing time and a 2-week cooling-off period. The honest total, consultation to finished kitchen, needs stating once, clearly, and consistently.

FAQ
Questions people ask
How much does a Ten Day Kitchen cost?
The price is confirmed before publication and is fixed before any work begins.
How long does it take?
Ten working days on site once your kitchen arrives. The full timeline from first consultation to finished kitchen is being confirmed.
Will you change my kitchen layout?
No. The Ten Day Kitchen keeps your layout exactly as it is, which is what keeps it fast and affordable. If you want the layout changed, that is a full renovation and we do those as well.
What if my cabinets are not suitable?
We will tell you straight away and suggest what would work instead. Send a photo and you will know within a day.
Can I change my mind after ordering?
Yes. You have a full two weeks under Alberta's Buyer's Right to Cancel, with no charges and no pressure. After that, your kitchen is in manufacturing and changes become difficult.
Who does the work?
Licensed, experienced installers who specialise in kitchens, coordinated and quality-checked by Dependable.
Do you handle appliances, flooring or painting?
Not as part of a Ten Day Kitchen. Keeping the scope tight is what holds the price and the timeline. We can point you to trusted people for the rest.
What areas do you cover?
Calgary and the surrounding area.
