Most Richmond Hill homeowners have had at least one bad renovation experience.
A contractor who disappears mid-project. Surprise costs after you've already committed. Tile work that leaks within two years because there was no proper waterproofing behind it. That's the norm in this industry. and it's exactly what Pilkowski Custom Renovations was built to fix. Every project comes with a written scope, a line-by-line quote, and certified waterproofing with a 10-year warranty. No surprises.

Richmond Hill-specific experience
What Richmond Hill Bathrooms Actually Need
Richmond Hill is a mix of established 1970s and 1980s communities in the south and newer 2000s developments in the north. What you find behind a bathroom wall depends entirely on which part of the city you are in. Here is what we encounter regularly and how we handle it.
1970s and 1980s homes in Mill Pond, Crosby, and Harding often have tile set over plaster or drywall with no moisture barrier. We start completely fresh with Wedi Pro certified waterproofing on every project.
Homes in Oak Ridges, Jefferson, and Bayview Hill from the late 1990s and 2000s have builder-grade shower waterproofing that was never designed to last 20 years. We tear it out and rebuild it properly.
Newer Richmond Hill homes have large ensuite footprints with soaker tubs that are never used. Converting that space into a proper walk-in shower with large format tile is one of the most requested projects we do here.
A 45 sq ft bathroom in a Leslieville semi leaves zero room for error. Layout planning, tile sizing, and fixture selection all matter more when space is limited. We've done hundreds of these.
Building management requirements, noise restrictions, approved work hours, elevator coordination. We handle it all across Toronto's condo buildings, regularly.
Every project starts with a line-by-line written quote. If something unexpected comes up during demolition, we tell you immediately and get approval before proceeding.
