FAQ
General Contracting Questions
Common questions about general contracting in the Greater Toronto Area.
Kitchen renovations vary significantly based on scope. A refresh with new counters, backsplash, and refinished cabinets might start around $25,000–$40,000. A full gut renovation with new layout, custom cabinets, and appliances typically ranges from $50,000–$100,000+.
We manage the entire permit process. This includes preparing drawings, submitting applications, scheduling inspections, and ensuring all work meets Ontario Building Code requirements. Permit costs are included in our quotes.
For most projects, yes—though comfort levels vary. Kitchen renovations are more disruptive than bathroom updates. We set up dust barriers, maintain access to essential areas when possible, and communicate daily schedules so you know what to expect.
Changes happen, and we have a clear process. Any scope changes are documented with a written change order that includes the cost and schedule impact before work proceeds. No surprises on your final invoice.
Timelines vary by scope: a bathroom renovation might take 3–4 weeks, a kitchen 6–10 weeks, and a full basement 8–12 weeks. Larger whole-home renovations can take 4–6+ months. We provide detailed schedules during the planning phase.
We offer both. Our design-build approach means one team handles everything from initial concepts through construction. This streamlines communication, reduces errors, and often saves money compared to hiring separate designers and contractors.
