The case study
How this condo came together
Renovating a downtown Toronto condo
This downtown Toronto condo renovation reimagined a dated high-rise interior as a calm, gallery-style space built around durable surfaces and consistent sightlines. The homeowner wanted a contemporary backdrop for daily living, with hidden storage, quieter rooms, and a finished floor that would hold up to heavy foot traffic without showing wear.
The work
Our crew started by stripping the original wall-to-wall carpet and underlay, then assessed the concrete slab beneath. Low spots were brought up with a self-levelling compound to give the new floor a flat, quiet base. Once the slab was prepped, we laid 1/4″ natural cork sheets to add acoustic dampening and underfoot comfort — important in a multi-unit building where impact noise travels — and installed European-made white oak engineered hardwood over top. The wide plank width and natural finish brighten the unit and read consistently from the entry through to the living area.
The result
The renovation also resolved two practical limits of the original layout. We built a custom podium to neatly integrate fixed elements into the space while keeping circulation paths open, swapped the hollow-core interior doors for solid-core units with modern hardware, and replaced the colonial baseboards with a modern square profile. The result is a quieter, more cohesive condo that feels purposefully designed rather than simply updated.

Budget
What a condo renovation like this costs
Condo renovation, typical partial scope
$20,000–$50,000
4–8 weeks on site
Flooring, doors and trim, paint, lighting and one bathroom, coordinated under one schedule.
Bathroom within the unit
$12,000–$22,000
2–4 weeks on site
Strip to studs, waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures, glass, lighting.
What moves the number
- How much of the layout moves: wall removal and rebuild versus finishes only
- How many bathrooms are in scope, and whether plumbing moves
- Flooring choice and how much of the unit it covers
- Building logistics: elevator booking, restricted hours, debris removal, board paperwork
We measure on site and give you a fixed-price proposal before work starts. If your budget and the scope you want do not line up, we will tell you that at the estimate rather than after.
Timeline
How long a condo renovation takes
A typical partial-scope unit runs 4–8 weeks on site. Add 2–4 weeks up front for the alteration agreement and elevator booking — that happens before demolition, so it does not extend the time you are out of the unit.
Timelines are the schedule we commit to at proposal, with milestones you can hold us to.

Social proof
What homeowners say
This company helped us with a flooring repair job in our condo. Igor was very professional, he asked all the right questions in a pre-consultation to understand the work and met a very tight timeline we provided for the work to complete. When something was noticed with the installation that we wanted adjusted, he also took no time in sending someone over to help make the change. Would definitely consider working with Osoba again!
