The cost varies greatly depending on the project size, scope, materials chosen, and complexity (e.g., adding plumbing, structural changes). For basements, factors include square footage, adding bathrooms/kitchenettes, and existing conditions. We provide detailed, free estimates after an initial consultation to understand your specific needs and vision.
Most significant renovations, especially basement finishing, structural changes, additions, plumbing, or electrical work, require a building permit from the City of GTA, Ontario. We are experienced with the local permit process and will handle the application and necessary inspections as part of our service to ensure everything is code-compliant.
Timelines depend on the project's scope. A standard basement finish might take 6-10 weeks, while larger home renovations vary. We provide a realistic timeline estimate in our proposal and keep you updated throughout the construction process. Factors like permit approvals, material availability, and unforeseen issues can sometimes affect schedules.
