Home » Kitchen Renovation
Going against the grain, we’ve made a conscious decision at Dan Kitchens to do as much of the work internally. Outsourcing your workforce in the designing, building and installing of kitchens can lead to poor design, conflicting interests,
communication problems and costly mistakes. The Dan Kitchens team are experts in kitchen design, cabinetmaking, fabrication, timber joining, painting, project management and installation. We believe this is the best way to deliver a successful kitchen renovation.
Most homeowners are not project managers, nor should kitchen renovation companies expect them to be. Any kitchen company undertaking a kitchen renovation needs to effectively project manage the renovation on behalf of the homeowner.
That is, communicating regularly with the homeowner, organising schedules, deliveries, trades (plumbers, electricians, stone masons etc), skip hire, and so on. Dan Kitchens Australia has been entrusted by hundreds of Sydney homeowners with their kitchen renovations. Evidenced by dozens of reviews and successfully completed projects, our approach to project management is second to none.
With some kitchen renovations, a builder may be called upon to handle more extensive home alterations. In these instances we can recommend a select group of trusted builders for you, or alternatively work with one of your choosing.
Kitchen renos represent the bulk of our work. With decades of expertise, we’ve successfully completed kitchen renovations of all sizes and complexities throughout Sydney and beyond.
We’re firm believers that kitchen companies should stand by their product, even after many years. If a homeowner returns to Dan Kitchens with a problem, we do our utmost to help. That may be altering a cabinet so a new refrigerator can fit in, replacing a broken hinge or organising the repair of a chipped benchtop.
Led by our designers, prospective clients benefit from a team of experts collaborating on your project from the get-go. Product designers, interior designers, cabinet makers and 3D artists make up this design team. We approach your project thoroughly and holistically, and when the design team is finished, you can be assured the proposed design not only looks beautiful but is well thought through.
Once the team has finished working on your custom joinery design, your Dan Kitchens designer will organise a presentation with you at our showroom. Together with old school hand-drawn plans and elevations, your designer will also present you with material and hardware samples, as well as detailed, transparent costings and options down to the component level. For larger, custom joinery designs, photo realistic renderings may also be provided.
Once you’re happy with the proposed design and costings, we’ll go over the paperwork thoroughly, and you sign a contract for Dan Kitchens to manufacture and install your custom joinery. We also go over any insurances required as part of the Home Building Compensation Fund and the schedule of payments.
At Dan Kitchens, we scan and trace plans in a 3D modelling program, building the kitchen with appliances and room features. Then, we add materials, colours, lighting, and props to create renders. This process takes about 2 days and may involve obtaining accurate 3D models.
Our production manager arranges to go to your home and measure the project space. They also take photographs and make detailed notes of anything else that may be required to ensure a smooth installation process.
For most homeowners, this is the stage where you see the most activity. Led by our inhouse installation team, your existing joinery is removed (if required), the space is prepared, and the installers begin building your custom joinery from the ground up. Various specialised tradespeople will come and go (electricians, plumbers, stone masons, etc) but you can be assured that the installation team will be overseeing all work carried out. Once complete, the installation team will run you through the various aspects of your custom joinery, as well as care and maintenance.
Our service doesn’t end when we’ve completed your joinery project. We follow up to see how you are going with your new joinery/cabinetry, and if there is anything amiss, we find a solution. If a part fails, even years down the line, we will do our utmost to help. Our many happy clients will attest to this.

We would highly recommend Dan Kitchens. We found Vagn and the team to be very professional, they were meticulous in attention to detail from measure to final install.
They were very organised and kept to the schedule, any issue that arose throughout the process was dealt with immediately and with excellent communication.
Vagn and his team made the whole process smooth from beginning to end with a great result.
We are extremely pleased with our new kitchen. The design process was thoughtful and collaborative. The production and installation demonstrated superb attention to detail and craftsmanship. We had waited a long time for the opportunity to renovate our home and Dan Kitchens was always our first choice. We were not disappointed and we could not be happier with quality and functionality – highly recommended.
We are very pleased with the shelves and are absolutely loving our new kitchen so thank you to Arthur, Bente, Greg and Vagn for delivering such a quality product – again!
It was a particularly unusual job from go to woah and I really appreciated Dan’s approach throughout. Your company’s professionalism and attention to detail has always impressed us.
Scott McKenzie and all his workers have been a pleasure to work with as well. They match your quality and attention to detail and have been really respectful and sympathetic to all the needs of us as a family of students living on site.
Excellent design service, clearly experienced and knowledgeable, accommodating to requirements and changes, quality craftsmanship and very courteous to deal with. Also very helpful in choosing appliances and coordinating delivery. Amazing after service. Highly recommended. We love our new kitchen. Thank you Vagn and the team at Dan kitchens.

They provided a detailed schedule of work which they adhered to, to the hour. We are thrilled with the result of our kitchen and I would highly recommend them. Thank you to the whole team.
