Renovation Cost
Renovation Cost in Toronto & the GTA
Every service, one table, with the ranges we actually quote against
What renovation actually costs here, without the phone call first
Bathroom renovations $12,000–$22,000. Kitchen renovations $25,000–$50,000. Finished basements $100–$150/sq. ft.. Full-home renovations $80–$150/sq. ft.. Condo renovations $20,000–$50,000 for typical partial scopes. Final cost depends on scope, finishes, and size.
These are the ranges we quote against, not marketing numbers picked to look competitive. They are wide because the honest ones are — the same bathroom is $13,000 or $27,000 depending on whether the plumbing moves. Each row below links to a page that breaks its service down by scope and says what pushes a project to the top of the range.
Renovation cost by service
| Service | Cost | On site | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bathroom renovation | $12,000–$22,000 | 2–4 weeks | Compact refresh from $11,000. Spa-style primary ensuite $22,000–$32,000+. |
| Kitchen renovation | $25,000–$50,000 | 3–5 weeks | Cabinet-and-counter refresh from $18,000. Above $50,000 is beyond our typical scope. |
| Finished basement | $100–$150/sq. ft. | 3–8 weeks | A 700 sq ft basement lands around $70,000–$105,000. Waterproofing is a separate add-on. |
| Full home renovation | $80–$150/sq. ft. | 8–14 weeks | Priced against measured square footage. Structural and second-suite work priced as add-ons. |
| Condo renovation | $20,000–$50,000 | 2–10 weeks | Full suite gut $50,000–$120,000. Runs 15–25% above freehold on logistics alone. |
Prices are for Toronto and the GTA and exclude HST. Final price is fixed after an on-site measure.
How we price, and how to read anyone else’s quote
Per square foot where size is the variable, per project where scope is
Basements and whole homes are quoted per square foot because a 700 sq ft basement and a 1,400 sq ft one are the same scope at twice the size. Bathrooms and kitchens are quoted per project because the room is roughly the same size everywhere and what changes is what goes in it.
Moving water is the most expensive decision in any room
Relocating a toilet drain, a kitchen sink or a shower valve means opening structure and working with what the stack can take. It is the single line that most often separates the bottom of a range from the top, and in a condo it is sometimes refused outright.
Fixed price after a measure, not an hourly rate
We measure on site, itemise the scope and give a fixed-price proposal before work starts. Where something behind a wall is genuinely unknown, we price the alternatives and say so rather than burying an allowance that turns into a change order.
A quote you cannot compare line by line is not a quote
Two contractors quoting the same kitchen at $30,000 and $42,000 are usually not quoting the same kitchen. Ask both to itemise cabinetry, counters, electrical and tile separately. The gap is almost always in one or two lines, and it is usually cabinetry construction or how much electrical is included.
