Before & After





We contracted Golden Bee Homes to do a basement renovation which included installing a new bathroom. Site supervisor Pars did an excellent job of coordinating the many sub-contractors to ensure that the project kept on schedule. As a result, our renovation project was completed on schedule which is something you don’t hear very often with home renovations. The sub-contractors showed up when expected and completed their work in a professional manner. We were very happy with the completed basement renovation, the quality of work and the attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Golden Bee Homes for any home renovations you are considering.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Knowledge & ExpertiseSimply outstanding. We've had 5 separate contractors work on our antique Victorian home over the last 15 years, all engaged to implement modern, state-of-the-art, minimalist/contemporary design directions within our 1896 exterior. Without question --and by a large margin --Jack and his colleagues at Golden Bee remain the hands-down winners in every respect. We would be hard-pressed to put our admiration of and appreciation for Jack and Golden Bee into words: they delivered superlative work under or within spitting distance of our budget; there were no surprises on budget or timing; their communication is excellent; their trades are highest quality in performance.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: PassionFrom the outset, and throughout the project, Golden Bee Homes staff were a pleasure to work with. Theyprovided a package for our condominium corporation containing all necessary documents required -corporation application form, electrical and plumbing company licenses, insurance details, etc. The contractors were experts in their trade, respected our property and a pleasure to have in our home, since we lived there throughout the renovation. The results were everything we hoped for. The highlight of the project was working with Pars, a true expert, whose professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that the result was beyond our expectations We would not hesitate to recommend Golden Bee Homes to anyone.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: PassionWe worked with Golden Bee Homes in 2017 on a massive whole home renovation. We are very satisfied with our beautifully renovated home. Like with all big renos there were some bumps along the way. Jack and his expert and growing team did their best to make us happy and in the end we are! Just recently I reached out, 3.5 yrs after completion, to ask about some cabinetry repairs that needed doing (alignment on drawers). I asked if I should be in touch with the custom installers or whether GBH would take care of it. Well, take care, they did! Within a day I heard back from them and within 1 week, the repairs were complete. This company stands behind their "product" and…

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Honesty & IntegrityThere are so many different moving pieces and considerations when deciding to take on the adventure of building a custom home. One of the biggest pieces is obviously who you choose to take on to execute your build. After interviewing numerous builders we decided to go with Golden Bee Homes. Now, as we have lived in our beautiful home for almost a year, we can say with the upmost confidence that we made the right decision. From the beginning Jack, Apo and Daron were honest, upfront, transparent and ethical when it came to the planning and execution for our project. No plan is completed without difficulties, workarounds, and compromises. However, even in the middle of a pandemic, there were very few issues that we…

THE GOLDEN PROCESS

Design
Step 1
Our process starts with an on-site meeting with a designer to understand your goals, expectations, needs, and wants. From there, we’ll develop a design, select materials, and prepare a detailed budget.

Refine
Step 2
After the initial design, you’ll have time to review and consider all aspects of the project and refine it until you’ve signed off on the final designs and decisions.

Build
Step 3
Once all the logistics are in place, we’re ready to get to begin construction. We will keep you informed throughout the build, and we aren’t done until the final walk-through ensures you’re thrilled with the results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home renovation in Toronto typically cost?
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.
What’s included in a full home renovation?
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.
How long does a complete home renovation take?
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.
Do I need permits for my renovation?
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.
Can I live in my home during the renovation?
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.
How does Golden Bee Homes simplify the renovation process?
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.
Will renovating my home increase its resale value?
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.
What if I have a specific renovation budget?
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.
What types of homes do you renovate?
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.
