The TENTEN Kitchens Story
For over 18 years, TENTEN Kitchens has built a reputation in Winnipeg and surrounding areas in Manitoba as a design-first renovation company focused on creating spaces that truly work for the people who live in them. What began as a passion for high-quality renovations has grown into a process-driven approach that combines thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and strong client relationships.
Many homeowners come to TENTEN Kitchens looking for expert design guidance—and choose to stay with us through construction because of the clarity, trust, and collaboration they experience early on. We believe successful renovations start with understanding how you live, how you use your space, and how to make the most of your investment.
Over the years, we’ve continued to refine our process to emphasize customer involvement, practical design solutions, and smart, intentional spending. Today, TENTEN Kitchens represents more than renovation expertise—it reflects a commitment to delivering functional, lifestyle-driven spaces backed by a team that values communication, quality, and long-term relationships.

Start with Design. Build with the Right Team.
Many homeowners come to TENTEN Kitchens because they need a designer first—not just a contractor. They’re looking for guidance on layout, functionality, and how to make the most of their space before committing to construction. That’s where our process begins. As a design-first renovation company, we take the time to understand how you live, what you need from your space, and how to align your vision with a realistic budget. Our in-house design team develops a clear, build-ready plan that removes uncertainty and sets the foundation for a successful project.
From there, many clients choose to continue with TENTEN as their builder. Because we’ve already developed the design, defined the scope, and aligned on priorities, the transition into construction is seamless. You’re not starting over or handing plans off to a third party. You’re working with the same team from concept to completion.
This integrated approach allows us to take full ownership of the process, ensuring accountability, consistency, and better overall results. Rather than operating as a typical contractor, TENTEN Kitchens functions as a structured, company-led team, combining design expertise, project planning, and skilled construction under one roof. The result is a renovation experience that is more organized, more collaborative, and ultimately more aligned with your goals.
