Most Toronto 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.

Toronto-specific experience
What Toronto Bathrooms Actually Need
Toronto's housing stock spans over a century. What's behind a bathroom wall depends entirely on when and where it was built. Here's what we encounter regularly and how we handle it.
In homes built before the 1980s, tile was set directly over plaster or wood with no moisture barrier. When we open these walls we start completely fresh with Wedi Pro certified waterproofing.
Galvanized steel pipes from the 1920s to 1960s are often corroded. Cast iron drains require modification for modern fixtures. We assess plumbing honestly before we begin.
Pre-war Toronto homes often have knob and tube electrical near the bathroom. We coordinate with licensed electricians and work it into the scope properly.
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.
