What we build
A full home renovation is the most complex project a contractor can take on. It requires one person to own it from start to finish.
Multi-room renovations involve every trade, every permit category, and every decision made in sequence. When coordination breaks down, projects run over budget and over schedule. When they are managed properly, the result is a completely transformed home delivered on time and as quoted. We have been doing full home and multi-room renovations in Toronto and the GTA for 15 years. One quote, one point of contact, one project managed by the owner throughout. Whether you are renovating a newly purchased home, preparing a property for sale, or transforming an investment property between tenants, we handle the full scope.

What Kind of Home Renovation Are You Planning?
Full home renovations cover a wide range of scope and budget. The right project depends on whether you just bought the home, are living in it, own it as an investment, or are preparing it for sale.
You just bought a home and want to renovate before moving in. All trades working in an empty house means faster timelines, less disruption, and the ability to change layout and structural elements freely.
Kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring done together. One building permit, one project schedule, all trades coordinated. The most efficient way to update a home you are living in.
Renovating between tenants or preparing for sale. Durable materials, smart finish level, and a schedule that minimises vacancy time. We understand the ROI calculus for investment properties.
Selling in 6 to 12 months. We help you identify which renovations deliver the highest return for your listing price. We give you an honest assessment, not an upsell.
Scope of work
What We Handle in a Full Home Renovation
Every room, every trade, every permit. The advantage of doing it all under one contractor is that decisions in one room are made with full knowledge of what is happening in the others. No conflicting schedules, no gaps, no trades pointing fingers at each other.
Book a Free ConsultationEvery full home renovation starts with a complete 3D design so you can see all rooms together before anything is ordered or removed. Building permit applications for all work that requires them. Structural engineer coordination for load-bearing wall removals or additions. Material selections locked in before demolition begins so there are no delays mid-project waiting for cabinets or tile.
Full demolition of all rooms in scope. Any structural changes including load-bearing wall removals, additions, or reconfiguration. Plumbing rough-in and final connections throughout the home. Electrical panel upgrade if required, full rewiring where needed, outlets and lighting to code throughout. All mechanical rough-in completed and inspected before any finishing begins.
Kitchen cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and appliance connections. Every bathroom with certified Wedi Pro waterproofing, tile, shower builds, vanities, and fixtures. All bathroom work is held to the same standard as our standalone bathroom renovation projects. Written warranty on all wet surfaces throughout the home.
Hardwood, LVP, or tile flooring throughout. Drywall, taping, and paint in all rooms. Interior doors, trim, baseboards, and all hardware. Pot lights and lighting fixtures throughout. The finish work is what people see every day and what photographs for a listing. We do not rush it.
Why it matters
One Contractor vs Many Contractors
The biggest failure mode in a full home renovation is fragmentation. Separate contractors who do not communicate, schedules that conflict, finish decisions made in isolation.
- You manage every trade yourself
- Scheduling conflicts between trades cause delays
- Each contractor quotes only their own scope
- Finish decisions made without the full picture
- No single person accountable for the overall result
- Cost overruns are cumulative and hard to track
- One contact manages every trade on your behalf
- Single integrated schedule. No conflicts.
- One line-by-line quote covering the full scope
- All decisions made in context of the full home
- Owner on site and accountable throughout
- Budget tracked against a single written quote

What gets built
Most Common Upgrades in Toronto Full Home Renovations
The upgrades and changes that appear most often in full home renovation projects across the GTA.
Removing the wall between kitchen and living or dining area is the single most impactful change in a full home renovation. We assess whether walls are load-bearing, handle any structural work required, and integrate the new open space with the rest of the renovation.
Custom or semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and new appliances. The kitchen is the room that drives home value more than any other and the one buyers remember. We build it to last and to photograph well.
Every bathroom in the home finished to the same standard, with consistent tile and hardware choices. Master bathroom with walk-in shower and double vanity. Secondary bathrooms with quality tile, proper waterproofing, and matching fixtures. All backed by our written warranty.
Continuous flooring throughout the main floor creates visual flow and makes the home feel larger. Engineered hardwood or wide-plank LVP are the most popular choices in Toronto renovation projects. Both photographed well and hold up to family use.
A complete pot light plan in all rooms on dimmers replaces outdated ceiling fixtures and transforms how every room feels and photographs. Planned upfront as part of the electrical scope so the layout works with the furniture arrangement, not against it.
A full home renovation is an ideal time to finish the basement as part of the same project. Permits can be consolidated, trades are already on site, and the design can treat the basement as part of the whole home rather than an afterthought. See our basement renovations page for full detail.
Honest pricing
How Much Does a Full Home Renovation Cost in Toronto?
Full home renovation costs in Toronto vary significantly depending on the size of the home, how many rooms are in scope, the finish level, and whether structural changes are involved. The ranges below reflect real project costs from our work across the GTA.
The most important thing we can tell you about budget is this: renovation cost is not just about what you choose, it is about what you discover. Older Toronto homes carry hidden surprises behind the walls. Our quotes account for likely conditions at the outset so cost changes mid-project are the exception, not the rule.

Common questions
Full Home Renovation FAQ. Toronto.
A multi-room renovation covering kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring in a three-bedroom Toronto home runs $100,000 to $200,000. A complete gut renovation of a semi-detached or detached home runs $200,000 to $350,000. A full gut with structural changes, open concept conversion, and premium finishes runs $300,000 to $500,000. An investment property renovation with durable finishes and a basement suite runs $120,000 to $250,000. We provide a full line-by-line written quote after the in-home consultation.
A multi-room renovation takes 3 to 5 months. A complete gut renovation takes 5 to 7 months. A full gut with structural changes takes 6 to 9 months or more. The permit process adds 2 to 6 weeks before construction begins depending on project complexity. We apply for permits immediately after you approve the quote so the clock starts as early as possible.
For a complete gut renovation, yes. For a phased multi-room renovation, some clients remain in the home if certain rooms are still functional. For example, renovating the main floor while the upper floor remains liveable. We assess this honestly during the consultation and build the project schedule around your situation where possible.
It depends on the home, the neighbourhood, and the current market. In many cases a targeted refresh of the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring delivers a better return per dollar than a complete gut. In others, particularly in high-value neighbourhoods or for homes that are significantly below the street's ceiling price, a full renovation is the right call. We give you an honest assessment during the free consultation. We do not upsell scope that does not make financial sense for your situation.
Any renovation involving structural changes, plumbing relocation, electrical panel upgrades, new bedrooms, secondary suites, or changes to the building envelope requires a City of Toronto building permit. Full gut renovations almost always require permits. We handle all permit applications, coordinate with the city, and manage inspection scheduling throughout the project. You do not have to deal with the permit process.
The standard sequence for a full home renovation is: structural work first, then rough-in mechanical (plumbing and electrical), then inspections, then drywall and insulation, then flooring, then kitchen and bathroom finishes, then paint and trim, then fixtures and lighting. Doing it in this order prevents trades from having to redo work. When we manage the project, this sequence is built into the schedule from the start.
