Building on Vancouver Island
Detail that suits the Oceanside coast.
Coastal Oceanside homes see salt-laden air year-round, so Oceanside Kitchen Studio specifies corrosion-resistant hardware, sealed cabinet boxes and moisture-tolerant finishes. Many mid-Island properties sit on sandy soil with a high seasonal water table, which shapes how sub-floors, cabinet toe-kicks and plumbing runs are detailed. Structural, electrical or plumbing changes in the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) trigger permit requirements — Oceanside Kitchen Studio coordinates every permit and inspection on the homeowner's behalf.
A recent Parksville project
How a real Oceanside kitchen came together.
A Parksville family near Craig Bay had a dark, closed 1980s kitchen that cut the cook off from the dining room. The wall between the two rooms turned out to be load-bearing and hid an old drain line that had to move. An engineered beam opened the span, the plumbing was rerouted under permit, and the family was cooking in their new open-concept kitchen 8 weeks after demolition.

Common questions
Parksville kitchen renovation questions.
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Parksville?
Most full kitchen renovations in the Parksville area land between $35,000 and $85,000, depending on cabinet quality, counter material, and whether the layout changes. Cosmetic refreshes start lower; full custom builds with new layouts, high-end appliances and stone can move past $125,000. Every Oceanside Kitchen Studio project begins with a fixed written estimate.
How long will my kitchen take?
A typical full kitchen renovation runs 6–10 weeks on site, plus 3–5 weeks of design and material lead time before installation begins. Oceanside Kitchen Studio builds a week-by-week schedule the homeowner can hold the studio to.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Oceanside Kitchen Studio is a fully licensed contractor, WorkSafeBC covered, and carries $2M in liability insurance. Every renovation is backed by a written 2-year workmanship warranty.
Do you handle design as well as construction?
Yes. Oceanside Kitchen Studio's in-house designer works on layout, cabinetry, finishes and lighting before a single tool comes out. Homeowners approve full 3D renderings and a fixed material list before build begins.
Do you work outside of Parksville?
