Toronto renovation FAQs, answered honestly.

In the GTA, a full kitchen renovation typically runs $45,000–$90,000, with luxury kitchens reaching $100,000+. A cosmetic refresh — paint, hardware, new counters — can land between $25,000–$40,000. The biggest cost drivers are layout changes (moving plumbing and gas lines), cabinetry quality, and your stone selection. For the full breakdown, read our kitchen renovation cost guide.

A full bathroom renovation in Toronto typically costs $15,000–$25,000, with luxury primary ensuites reaching $60,000. Moving plumbing is the single biggest cost adder — keeping fixtures roughly where they are saves thousands. Details in our bathroom renovation cost guide.

Typical GTA timelines: bathrooms 3–5 weeks, kitchens 5–8 weeks, basements 6–10 weeks. We give you a written schedule before day one — and we hit it. The horror stories you hear are almost always about crews with no schedule at all.

Yes. Your quote is detailed, in writing, and signed before we start. The price only changes if you change the scope — never because we "found something." If we misjudge, that's on us. It's the whole business model, not a marketing line.

Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with dust barriers, run negative-air scrubbers, and clean the site daily. Most clients are surprised how normal life feels — one recent client with two kids and a dog lived through a full main-floor reno comfortably. For full-home projects, we phase the work so you always have a functioning kitchen or bathroom.

No — and that's deliberate. Renofy only does countertops and backsplashes in quartz, quartzite, or natural stone, including full-height stone backsplashes and waterfall islands. No grout lines to scrub, nothing to re-seal, nothing that dates in five years.

A 1-year craftsmanship warranty. If our work ever falters, we come back and make it right — free. We plan on hearing from you again — ideally as a referral.

For single-room projects, no. For full-home renovations, some clients stay with careful phasing while others prefer to be out for the dusty weeks. We'll walk through both options honestly during your consult — including the real cost difference.

Milestone-based payments tied to completed work: deposit, rough-in, finishes, final walkthrough. We never ask for full payment upfront — and the final payment isn't due until you've walked the finished space and you're happy.
