Southwestern Ontario around London carries a lot of older housing, and renovations here routinely open walls onto the past — dated wiring, plaster, and framing that predates modern spans — so good quotes carry honest contingency.

That local context matters for cabinet refacing: Post-war subdivisions across the east and south ends are full of bungalows well suited to open-plan conversions and basement apartments.

London's housing runs from yellow-brick Victorians in Old North and Wortley Village to the ranches and sidesplits that filled Oakridge, Westmount, and the east end after the war. That mix means renovation work here is rarely cookie-cutter: heritage-minded kitchen and bath updates in century homes, full main-floor reconfigurations in post-war bungalows, and basement conversions near Western and Fanshawe aimed at student and rental income.

A lot of London projects start with good bones and dated layouts — closed-off kitchens, a single bathroom serving three bedrooms, unfinished basements with decent ceiling height. If you own one of them and have been sketching a better floor plan for years, tell us what you have in mind and we'll line up a free quote from renovation contractors who work in London every week.

• Parts of Old North, Wortley Village, and Woodfield fall within heritage conservation districts, so exterior changes there can need approvals beyond a standard building permit.
• London's signature yellow-brick century homes often carry original plaster, dated wiring, and old galvanized plumbing that should be priced into any major renovation.
• Post-war subdivisions across the east and south ends are full of bungalows well suited to open-plan conversions and basement apartments.

No two London homes are the same, so instead of a flat price, here's what actually shapes a cabinet refacing quote:

• Number of doors and drawer fronts in the kitchen
• Door material — thermofoil, painted MDF or solid wood fronts
• Condition of the existing boxes and how much prep the surfaces need
• Hardware upgrades such as soft-close hinges and new drawer boxes
• The age of the home — much of London's housing has been standing a long while, and what's found once walls open (wiring, plumbing, framing) is the honest wildcard in older-home renovations.
• Islands and open shelving, which add panel and finishing work
