Mid-range kitchen in Quebec: 2026 cost of a manufacturer-made kitchen
Manufacturer cabinets, quartz, Bosch: the line-by-line cost of a mid-range kitchen in Quebec in 2026, from $25,356 to $40,656.
Mid-range means a kitchen built by a manufacturer rather than assembled at home: sturdy cabinet boxes, polyester, thermofoil or painted MDF doors, a quartz countertop and brand-name appliances. For many projects, it strikes a good balance between durability and budget.
This article is part of our series on the cost of a kitchen in Quebec in 2026. All prices were collected on October 2, 2026, in Canadian dollars, before GST and QST.

What “mid-range” means, line by line
Cabinets ($310 per LF) and island ($375 per LF). Manufacturer cabinets, delivered assembled, with polyester, thermofoil or painted MDF doors. Assembled cabinets sold at big-box stores, such as Landon & Co ÉLITE at RONA or Thomasville at Home Depot, are among the benchmarks collected for this range.
Installation ($160 per LF). Done by the manufacturer’s installer, it costs almost double the installation of ready-to-assemble cabinets.
Countertop ($65 per sq ft, installed). Entry-level quartz or granite, fabricated and installed. It is often the most visible change when you move up from the Budget range.
Backsplash ($10 per sq ft) and flooring ($7 per sq ft). Designer ceramic or porcelain, or a glass mosaic, on the wall. On the floor, oak engineered wood or 12 × 24 porcelain.
Faucets and lighting.
- Moen, Delta or Grohe faucet: $450.
- Undermount stainless steel or Blanco composite sink: $500.
- 128 mm Richelieu or Amerock handles: $13 each.
- Manufacturer pendants such as Kichler or Kuzco: $200 each.
Appliances.
- Faber, Best or Zephyr wall-mount range hood: $1,500.
- Bosch or Café induction cooktop: $3,300.
- Bosch wall oven: $3,900.
- KitchenAid or Frigidaire Pro built-in refrigerator: $3,700.
- Bosch 100 to 300 Series dishwasher: $1,300.
Options that drive up the bill
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| 9-ft ceiling (39- to 42-in. wall cabinets) | $25 per LF |
| 10-ft ceiling (stacked cabinet or full-height cabinets) | $95 per LF |
| Under-cabinet lighting, LED tape with transformer | $40 per LF |
| Soft-close drawer cabinet instead of doors | $255 each |
| Glass door | $100 extra per door |
| Pull-out shelf or garbage bin, installed | $340 each |
| Quartz waterfall edge on the island | $1,400 |
| Wall tile, 12 × 24 porcelain | $6 per sq ft |
A 10-ft ceiling gets expensive quickly: over 34 LF of cabinets, the stacked cabinet or full-height cabinets add about $3,230.
Where to put the money
- The countertop and hardware are seen and touched every day. Entry-level quartz and good drawer slides often do more for the overall impression than more expensive doors.
- Soft-close drawers in the base cabinets, especially near the range.
- One appliance at a time. Nothing forces you to buy the whole suite from the same brand: a Bosch cooktop and a refrigerator from another brand get along just fine.
