Build your Dream Home

The cost of a home renovation project depends on a number of factors which include the scope of the project, the current condition of the home, the cost of supplies and labour and the cost for acquiring the necessary permits. We also recommend that you set aside money in your budget for any unexpected expenses. This is because there may be some unforeseen issues that arise during construction that will need to be addressed. 

Depending on the size and type of the room you are renovating, your renovation cost will vary. On average, a complete home renovation in Toronto can cost anywhere from $19,000-$74,000. How much you spend will depend on the scope of the project, the size of the home and the quality of the materials used. An entire home renovation will cost an average of $15-$60 per square foot. Kitchen and bathroom remodelling costs on average are $100-$250 per square foot. 

Yes. Home renovation in Toronto is a thriving business. Renovating your home is considered an investment and upgrading your home can add significant value to your home. This is particularly important if you decide to sell your home in the future.

Renovating an entire house can take anywhere from 3 to 9 months to complete. The timeline will depend on the scope and complexity of the renovation project, the size of the house, the availability of contractors and subcontractors, the ability to acquire permits on time.

• Install electrically powered heated coils and tubing under your flooring
• Install a heat lamp (recommended for bathrooms with standard-height ceilings)
• Install a heated towel rail (there are plug-in options available)

Every municipality has rules and guidelines on the type of construction that requires permits, and the application process may be slightly different from place to place. In some cases, you may need multiple permits for your home renovation. That’s why it’s important to have professional home renovation contractors who can help you through the process of acquiring the relevant permits.

Yes. Due to a slower season, you may find that contractors have greater availability during the winter months for home improvement projects. This may give you more flexibility in terms of the duration of your project because they may be reduced lead time for certain things like acquiring permits due to fewer applications. While some exterior renovations may not be possible during the winter, interior renovations are still possible despite the cold. 

Before putting your house on the market, some things to consider updating in your home that may give you an advantage pricewise and help your homes sell quickly are:

• A fresh coat of paint in one of the popular colour options like gray, white, beige, or light blue.
• Update the front door to make it stand out.
• A full Bathroom renovation – replace vanity, replace the showerhead, re-caulk the tub and change tiling in the shower and on the floor.
• Make your home more energy efficient with additional insulation. Also consider replacing appliances with models that are energy efficient.
• Upgrade the flooring. This can improve the overall look of your home. Hardwood floors are an expensive choice but installing them can increase the value of your home exponentially.

Finish the basement. There’s no question about how having a finished basement can have an enormous impact on the sale price of your home.
