CKC Group / Hometown Kitchens

What CKC Group / Hometown Kitchens does

CKC Group Ltd., operating as Carleton Kitchens, is a privately held residential renovation company founded in 1986 in Carleton Place, Ontario. The firm provides integrated design-build services across kitchen renovation, bathroom renovation, interior renovations, and home additions/new builds, serving primarily homeowners in the Ottawa Valley. CKC operates from a single custom-built showroom at 9420 Cavanagh Road (opened 2017, visible from Highway 7) and runs a small in-house team — a President, General Manager, Office Manager, two Designers, and four Lead Carpenters/Project Managers — supplemented by a strategic design partnership with Beaulieu Design Services.

The revenue model is project-based professional services with quote-based pricing and a free initial showroom consultation. Customer acquisition is predominantly referral-driven and showroom-led, supported by a Houzz Pro profile and a project-gallery-driven website. CKC curates a broad portfolio of third-party product lines (cabinetry: Lauriermax, Miralis; countertops: Caesarstone, Cambria, Corian, Dekton, Silestone, ThinkGlass, Lafor; sinks: Kohler, Franke, Artisan, Kindred; faucets: Delta, Grohe, Riobel; lighting: Kichler, Progress, Contrast, Murray Feiss, San Remo, Z-Lite; flooring: Armstrong, Gaylord, Goodfellow) and delivers projects through a proprietary 5-step process (Design Consultation, Design Phase, Project Kick-Off, Final Walkthrough, Warranty) with dedicated project management.

Ownership sits with Brent and Krista Young following a 1996 partnership transition. The company holds memberships in the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), RenoMark, and HOGBA, providing trade-association credibility. There is no disclosed revenue, no institutional capital, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, no app or API surface, and no AI capability — the technology stack is a WordPress website plus showroom operations. Geographic scope is regional (Ottawa Valley), and revenue concentration risk is low given the long tail of individual one-off residential projects.
