Home Renovation & Remodelling Services in Toronto

Few things are more satisfying than breathing new life into the home you love. Custom Toronto home renovations can be used to address functional issues (such as inadequate lighting or insufficient kitchen storage) or to update the look and feel of an older home, bringing it up to modern standards.

Keeping your home in top condition is necessary to maintain the value of your property and ensure you get a fair price if you decide to sell it. Interior renovations are also a great way to add your personality and sense of style to a home you’ve recently purchased.

Some of the most popular types of home renovation include:

Basement Renovations

Turning an unfinished basement into additional living space can significantly increase the value of a home. It also gives homeowners more options for enjoying their property: A finished basement can be turned into an additional bedroom, a workshop, an entertainment room, or a second family room, among other uses. However, while finishing a basement may seem as simple as adding drywall and flooring, basement renovations are actually highly complex projects. Depending on the condition of your basement and the scope of the project you have in mind, you may need to add additional wiring or plumbing to your home. You must also have your basement professionally assessed to check for hidden sources of moisture and verify the strength of your foundation. As such, finishing a basement should never be undertaken as a DIY project. Trust the experienced contractors at Eagle Bay Group to make sure your basement is up to code, secure the necessary permits for your renovation, and finish it to perfection.

Bathroom Renovations & Remodels

Bathroom renovations may involve minor aesthetic changes – such as adding new cabinets and fixtures – or a complete overhaul of the bathroom’s layout and features. In either case, our skilled contractors will be happy to help you create the right bathroom remodel project to fit your space, goals, and budget. Some popular options for updating bathrooms include:
– Bathtub updates, such as installing a new tub or restoring an old one.
– Replacing outdated or plain cabinets, vanities, mirrors, faucets, and taps with more modern, luxurious décor.
– Adding more lighting to brighten up a dark bathroom.
– Replacing old, stained sinks and toilets with bright new models.
– Repairing water-damaged, stained, or cracked bathroom materials, such as tiles, flooring, or drywall.
– Significantly altering the bathroom’s layout to make it more attractive or usable.

Kitchen Renovations & Remodels

Having a bright, open, modern kitchen with ample storage space is a top-selling feature for any home. As such, kitchen renovations are considered one of the best investments homeowners can make in their property. However, because kitchen renovations and remodels typically require advanced plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work, it’s vital to choose experienced construction specialists – like Eagle Bay Group – to complete these types of projects. We employ multiple types of contractors so that we can complete full kitchen remodels in Toronto using our own specialists. This approach saves our clients time and money while ensuring beautiful, safe, and professional results.

Kitchen renovations range in scope from small upgrades, like new appliances and cabinets, to major structural changes. Some common kitchen renovation projects include:
– Removing a wall and replacing it with a load-bearing beam to create an “open concept” kitchen that seamlessly integrates into the rest of the home.
– Adding more storage space, or updating existing cabinets, counters, backsplashes, and appliances.
– Improving the kitchen’s lighting to make the space brighter and easier to work in.
– Adding new features, such as a kitchen island, to accommodate guests and make food preparation easier.
– Repairing or replacing aged or damaged wall and flooring materials.

Home Renovation FAQ

1. Do all home renovations require a permit?
Some purely cosmetic renovations, like adding new wall or floor finishes, don’t require a building permit. However, the vast majority of kitchen, bathroom, and basement renovations require multiple permits before work can begin. Consult with a professional builder to figure out which permits, if any, you will need for your project. If you’re working with Eagle Bay Group, we’ll secure the necessary permits for you, saving you the time and hassle of dealing with extra paperwork.
2. How long does an average kitchen renovation take?
Provided that you work with skilled, experienced contractors who can handle all of the work “in-house,” a full kitchen renovation can take as little as six to ten weeks. However, projects that involve structural changes or significant electrical or plumbing work may take longer to complete.
3. Is it cheaper to build or renovate a house?
In most cases, renovating an existing house is cheaper than building a new one, but there are some exceptions to this rule. If a home has extensive structural damage or serious issues like moisture or mold contamination, for example, it may be more cost-effective to demolish it and build new.
4. How long does it take to renovate an entire house?
While single-room renovations can often be completed in a matter of weeks, remodelling an entire home is significantly more time-consuming. For whole-home renovations, you can expect a timeline of roughly six to nine months. Homeowners are generally advised to find alternative accommodations during this time.
5. What is the first thing to do when renovating?
Before you start work on your home, you should:
– Determine your budget.
– Outline your goals and define the most high-priority areas that need attention.
– Think about the style of your home. Ideally, renovation projects should complement the existing style of your home, unless you are planning to do upgrades throughout.
– Talk to a professional. A professional residential contractor can help you assess whether your project is feasible, gauge how long it will take, and create designs and blueprints, in addition to performing renovations. Make sure the professional you choose is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to protect yourself from poor workmanship and possible liability issues.
– Secure the necessary permits. Depending on the construction company you’re working with, your contractor may complete this step for you.
– Create a timeline for your project and, if necessary, arrange alternative accommodations for your family while the work is being completed.
6. How much does a home renovation cost in Toronto?
The cost of renovation projects can vary considerably depending on the size of the home and the type of materials selected by the client. Whole-home renovations cost between $60,000 to $100,000, on average, but small kitchen and bathroom projects can be completed for under $10,000.

If cost is a concern for you, talk to a professional contractor about which upgrades will add the most value to your home while requiring the smallest upfront investment. Many highly affordable renovation projects can improve your property, so you shouldn’t limit yourself due to budget constraints.
