The cost of a home renovation in Toronto can vary significantly depending on the project scope, materials, finishes, and whether you're renovating a house or a condo. While some try to estimate the cost of a renovation per square foot, it’s often inaccurate due to the domino effect and the surprise elements that come with most renovation projects. That said, a general range for a complete home renovation is between $120 to $450 per square foot.

At Golden Bee Homes, we use a Design Build Model to streamline the home renovation process. We conduct detailed site inspections, walkthroughs with trades, and finalize all material selections with your designer before demo begins. This approach allows us to provide one fixed price, one coordinated timeline, and one hyper-realistic set of 3D VR renderings—removing the guesswork and unexpected costs often associated with home improvement projects.

A full house renovation means keeping the structural shell while transforming the entire interior layout. This includes kitchen and bathroom renovations, flooring upgrades, electrical or plumbing work, and opening up structural walls to create a functional living space. Most people walking into the renovated space would assume it's a newly built home.

Our team covers every inch of your home—from the attic hatch to the last corner of the basement. Whether you're looking to completely renovate an outdated property or create a new living space, our full house renovation services ensure your home matches your lifestyle and design goals.

Timelines depend on the size of the home and project complexity, but most complete renovations with Golden Bee Homes take 6 to 9 months. Before construction begins, we give you a clearly defined schedule with start and end dates.

Thanks to our organized renovation process—including internal coordination between our design team and project managers, plus consistent client communication—we often finish ahead of schedule. That’s why we’re known as one of the best home renovation companies in Toronto.

Yes, many Toronto home renovation projects require permits. If you’re making major structural changes, adjusting plumbing or HVAC layouts, or even building a new deck, you’ll likely need permits.

We guide you through the permit process and handle all applications to ensure your renovation complies with local building codes and safety regulations. Minor renovations like painting or cosmetic upgrades typically don’t require permits.

For a full home renovation, we recommend moving out. Even with daily cleanups, it’s hard to control dust, noise, and access issues. Especially when there's only one bathroom or kitchen, staying in the house can become unmanageable.

For smaller renovation projects or minor updates, staying in the home might be possible, and we’ll go over options with you during the planning phase.

Once your floor plan is finalized and materials are selected, we handle everything else. You’ll be assigned a dedicated lead carpenter and project manager to oversee your renovation project. We provide daily progress updates and weekly meetings with your designer to ensure everything is on track.

Any changes during the construction phase are documented as credit notes or change orders. This structured process allows for accurate cost factors, reduces unexpected costs, and ensures a stress-free experience.

Absolutely. A professionally executed home renovation, especially one involving kitchen and bathroom renovations, can significantly increase your property value. A well-designed layout and modern, functional living space offers excellent return on investment and enhances the resale value of your Toronto home.

Having a clear renovation budget is essential. If your budget aligns with the project scope, we’ll work with you to prioritize upgrades and make smart material selections. If your expectations don’t match your budget, we’ll let you know honestly if it’s not a fit.

Our design build team ensures your renovation goals are aligned with your budget considerations—so you get the most value without surprises.

We renovate any type of home that is within boundaries—that could be a condo, townhouse, semi-detached, detached home, or a historical property. We specialize in complete home renovations across Toronto and tailor each project to the structure, layout, and your unique lifestyle needs.
