We review your building’s specific renovation manual to ensure the design complies with local bylaws, sound-rating requirements, and “stack” locations.
We focus on the smart layout changes and high-end finishes that make a standard high-rise space feel like a custom home.
Every condo renovation is different, but these ranges and factors give you a starting point before you commit.
Ideal for homeowners looking to modernize their space without moving walls or plumbing. This tier focuses on high-impact visual changes that stay within the building’s standard bylaws.
Project Enhancements: Custom closet organizers, motorized window shades, or smart thermostat integration.
Our most popular condo tier, focusing on the two highest-value rooms. This involves a full gut of the wet areas to install custom cabinetry and modern surfaces while respecting the building’s “stack” locations.
$80k – $150k
Project Enhancements: Built-in wine storage, heated bathroom floors, or integrated kitchen appliances.
A total reimagining of the condo’s layout. This tier is for owners of larger or older units (such as those requiring Kitec replacement) who want an open-concept flow and premium finishes in every corner.
$175k – $300k+
Project Enhancements: Acoustic wall paneling, custom fireplace feature walls, or full home automation.
All quotes include material pricing, contingencies, and requested options for total transparency with zero hidden fees.
Our step by step approach keeps the work moving and makes the whole project easier to live through.
We review your building’s specific renovation manual to ensure the design complies with local bylaws, sound-rating requirements, and “stack” locations.
We source finishes and fixtures that fit within standard service elevators and coordinate all deliveries with your property manager to avoid delays.
We secure the workspace and common hallways with heavy-duty protection and book service elevators to keep your neighbors and building management happy.
We update your electrical and plumbing—including mandatory Kitec replacement if required—ensuring all work respects the building’s shared mechanical systems.
We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every detail is perfect and assist in the closing of your renovation file with the condo board.
Realistic expectations for living through a renovation, handling surprises, and staying informed from kickoff to completion.
Most Toronto condo corporations require approval for any work that goes beyond paint and flooring. You must submit a renovation proposal to the board, which usually includes your contractor’s insurance, WSIB clearance, and a detailed scope of work to ensure it meets building bylaws.
Condo renovations often cost more per square foot due to logistical constraints. Limited parking, elevator booking fees, and strict hours for debris removal increase the time required for labor. Additionally, materials often have to be sized to fit into standard service elevators.
A standard kitchen or bathroom remodel in a condo takes 3 to 5 weeks. This timeline accounts for restricted work hours (typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and the extra time needed for daily setup and teardown to keep common hallways clean.
Moving plumbing or gas is difficult in a condo because you cannot cut into the concrete floor slab, which is a shared structural element. Layout changes are usually limited to what can be achieved within the existing “drop ceiling” or by building a small sub-floor.
Kitec was a brand of plastic piping common in Toronto condos built between 1995 and 2007 that is prone to bursting. Many condo boards now mandate its replacement during any renovation. We can identify and replace Kitec with modern PEX piping during your project.
Most buildings require a specific Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating for underlayment to prevent noise from traveling to the unit below. We ensure your new hardwood, laminate, or tile installation meets or exceeds your building’s acoustic requirements.
We coordinate with your property manager to book the service elevator for material deliveries and debris removal. We also manage the logistics of parking our work vehicles, ensuring we follow your building’s specific contractor policies.
Wall removal depends on whether the wall is load-bearing or contains building-wide “stacks” (plumbing, electrical, or HVAC). We perform a site assessment to determine which walls are partitions that can be removed and which are structural.
The City of Toronto requires a building permit for any work involving structural changes, fire safety systems, or significant plumbing and electrical modifications. We handle the permit application to ensure all work is documented and inspected.
We use HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and dust barriers to keep debris inside the unit. To maintain good neighbor relations, we schedule “noisy work” (like drilling or demolition) during the specific hours permitted by your condo’s management.
