Data Updates

Kitchen renovations in Canada are accelerating — and the data proves it.

We track hundreds of thousands of active renovation permits across 31 Canadian cities. Here's what the kitchen segment is telling us right now:

The Numbers
Why It Matters

Rising interest rates killed the move-up buyer. That homeowner is staying put and renovating instead. Kitchens are the first project they greenlight.

That's a massive purchase intent window for:

Cabinet manufacturers & dealers Appliance brands & retailers Countertop & tile suppliers Kitchen designers & contractors Flooring & lighting brands
The Opportunity Most Brands Are Missing

By the time a homeowner walks into a showroom, 60–70% of their decisions are already made. The permit is filed before the first contractor call.

That's the window we track.
