Luxury Renovation Service
Luxury Home Renovation in Toronto
Midtown penthouses · Downtown condos · Full-suite rebuilds
Luxury in Toronto means nothing is left over from the builder
Most luxury briefs we hear are not about one expensive room. The owner wants a unit that reads like a custom home, and every surface has to agree with the next. Our Midtown penthouse renovation was exactly that: a full interior demolition and rebuild, finished room by room to one standard. This page covers how we scope, price and schedule work like it in Toronto.
For house-by-house scope and budgets, see our full home renovation service. For the building-side rules, read condo board approval and condo renovation logistics.

Toronto projects we have completed
Only the first is a luxury-brief project. The other two are Toronto work at our standard level of finish, shown so you can judge the detail for yourself. See all Toronto projects.
What a Toronto luxury renovation involves
The whole unit, not one room
In the Midtown penthouse, every wall, surface and fixture was reconsidered from scratch. The result has no builder finishes left over, which is the part of a luxury brief people notice first.
Floors that are glued, not floated
The penthouse got chevron flooring on a full glue-down across the whole unit. It costs more in time and adhesive, and it gives a quieter, steadier floor than a floating install.
Trim and doors with weight
Poplar trim profiles and solid-core doors with better hardware went in throughout, the detailing you normally see in a detached house rather than a condo. The interior is finished in Benjamin Moore Aura.
A kitchen drawn around the room
Shaker-style MDF cabinetry, a porcelain countertop, and a floor-to-ceiling porcelain slab backsplash with integrated under-cabinet lighting. Custom cabinetry runs 4–8 weeks from sign-off, so the order goes in before demolition.
Bathrooms finished to the same standard
A walk-in shower with a built-in bench and niche, marble-look porcelain, a custom vanity and a matching linen tower. The powder room was brought up to the same level so no room reads as the leftover.
Building rules, planned from day one
Towers add board approval, elevator bookings and restricted hours, and condo work typically runs 15–25% higher than the same scope in a house. We plan around those rules before design starts.
What luxury scope costs in Toronto (2026)
These are the ranges we publish for the work. We itemise scope at the estimate so you can see where a finish choice moves the number.
| Scope | Cost range | Timeline | Typical inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full suite gut (condo or penthouse) | $50,000–$120,000 | 6–10 weeks | Every room taken back to the studs and slab — kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, doors, trim, lighting. Downtown full-unit guts run at the top of the range. |
| Whole-home renovation (house) | $80–$150/sq. ft. | 8–14 weeks | Every room — kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, doors, trim, lighting, paint. Priced per sq ft at estimate; temporary relocation usually recommended. |
| Kitchen | $25,000–$50,000 | 3–5 weeks | Custom cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplash, appliances, lighting, electrical updates. Above $50,000 is beyond our typical scope. |
| Spa-style primary bathroom | $22,000–$32,000+ | 4–5 weeks | Layout change, large-format porcelain, niche and bench, freestanding tub, heated floor, premium fixtures, designer lighting. |

Luxury home renovation questions - Toronto
How much does a luxury home renovation cost in Toronto?
We do not keep a separate luxury price list. Full-home renovations are quoted at $80–$150/sq. ft., and a full condo suite gut runs $50,000–$120,000. Kitchens are $25,000–$50,000. Projects above $50,000 are typically beyond our usual scope. We itemise scope at the estimate so you can see what each finish decision adds.
What makes a renovation luxury rather than high-end standard?
Detail and consistency, not the price tag. In our Midtown penthouse that meant glue-down chevron flooring across the whole unit, poplar trim, solid-core doors, a custom kitchen with a porcelain slab backsplash, and bathrooms and a powder room finished to the same level. No room was left on builder finishes.
How long does a luxury renovation take in Toronto?
A full suite gut in a condo is 6–10 weeks of construction, and a whole-home renovation in a house is 8–14 weeks. Custom cabinetry runs 4–8 weeks from sign-off, and permit review in a house adds time before demolition, so the calendar starts at design sign-off rather than the first day on site.
Do you renovate luxury condos and penthouses in Toronto?
Yes. Our Midtown penthouse was a full interior demolition and rebuild. Condo work follows the building: an alteration request to management or the board, booked elevator time, restricted working hours, and protected common areas. We prepare the paperwork and schedule around the building.
Do I need a permit for a luxury renovation in Toronto?
In a house, yes once anything structural, plumbing or electrical changes: Toronto Building issues the permit, and removing a load-bearing wall also needs stamped engineer drawings. In a condo, the gate is the building board, and finishes-only work usually needs no City permit. We confirm which applies before we quote.
Do you build luxury detached homes in Toronto?
Our published Toronto luxury-brief project is the Midtown penthouse. For detached-home work at this level, our luxury home renovation page for Etobicoke covers The Kingsway, Humber Bay Shores and Bloor West Village, and our full home renovation service covers houses across Toronto and the GTA.
How is this different from your Etobicoke and Mississauga luxury pages?
Those pages are about specific neighbourhoods and house types in Etobicoke and Mississauga. This one is about Toronto proper: penthouses and downtown condos, where the building and the City of Toronto set the rules, and the projects are the ones listed above.
