Clear answers before the work begins.

Published 2026 Toronto ranges are very broad: approximately $18,000–$160,000+ for a full condo renovation. Unit size, common-area protection, elevator bookings, work-hour rules, kitchen and bathroom scope, and finish level all matter. Use the table above for planning, then request an itemized quote based on the actual unit.

A practical 2026 planning range is about $25,000–$100,000+. Keeping the existing layout and choosing stock or semi-custom products usually costs less; custom cabinetry, stone, appliance moves, structural changes, plumbing, and electrical work increase the range.

Standard GTA bathroom projects commonly fall around $15,000–$55,000+. The main variables are demolition, waterproofing, tile area and pattern, fixture quality, ventilation, hidden moisture, plumbing relocation, and whether the room is a powder room, standard bath, or ensuite.

Start with a room-by-room deficiency list: patching, paint, flooring, doors and hardware, kitchen, bathroom, fixtures, cleaning, and debris. Avoid a single generic “turnover” allowance. Photos and a site review allow each line to be priced, while a 15–20% contingency can protect the budget when hidden conditions are possible.

No. They are third-party 2026 GTA market benchmarks for early planning. They are not a JT estimate, offer, or guaranteed price. A JT quote is based on the written scope, measurements, site conditions, access, selected materials, applicable taxes, permits, and trade requirements.

Look for a clear scope, quantities or allowances, material responsibilities, demolition and disposal, site protection, trade work, exclusions, taxes, permit responsibilities, schedule assumptions, payment terms, warranty terms, and a written change-order process.

The contractors may be pricing different scopes, finish levels, allowances, protection, disposal, supervision, licensed trades, permit work, or contingencies. Compare itemized scopes line by line and ask each contractor to identify exclusions instead of comparing only the total.

A targeted repair may take a visit or several days; a kitchen or bathroom often takes several weeks; a multi-room or full-unit renovation can take longer. Design decisions, permits, material lead times, access, inspections, and change orders affect the schedule. Project-specific timing is confirmed after scope review.

Permit requirements vary by municipality and scope. We help identify likely requirements and confirm in writing who is responsible for drawings, applications, fees, inspections, and approvals. Condominium or property-management approval is separate from a municipal permit.

Structural changes, new or altered plumbing, secondary suites, significant life-safety work, and some changes of use commonly require permits or professional drawings. Cosmetic painting and like-for-like finish replacement often do not. The municipality and any building authority must confirm the requirement for the exact scope.

Yes. Send the current drawing set for review. Before construction, the team confirms revision dates, field conditions, included work, and any professional, building, or municipal approvals still required.

Materials can be specified, sourced, and coordinated within the agreed scope. Client-supplied materials can also be reviewed for quantity, suitability, lead time, and installation requirements. The written quote should state exactly who supplies each item.

Changes should be documented before the added or revised work proceeds. A useful change order describes the scope difference, price, schedule effect, and any material or approval impact, then records authorization from the designated decision-maker.

After-hours work may be considered when building rules, neighbours, local requirements, trade availability, and the type of work allow it. Share restricted hours and deadline requirements during the initial scope review.

Yes. Work can include move-out renovations, occupied-unit repairs, common areas, grouped deficiencies, painting, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, moisture-related work, and ongoing interior maintenance. Use the property-manager request form to send the scope, priority, access, ready date, and photos.

Include the exact address and unit, occupancy, issue and history, affected area, priority, photos, access or notice requirements, building hours, resident contact process, desired completion date, budget approval limit, and the person authorized to approve changes.

Yes, when the work can be planned safely around occupants and operations. The plan may address notices, access windows, dust and floor protection, noise, temporary shutdowns, shared areas, daily clean-up, and phased handover.

Yes. A grouped request should identify each unit or area and repeatable standard, while still listing unit-specific conditions. Grouping can simplify access, material decisions, reporting, and scheduling, but each property and scope must be reviewed.

Ask for the current project-specific documents that apply, such as insurance evidence, WSIB status, trade credentials, safety documents, warranty terms, and the written scope. Requirements vary by building and type of work and should be verified directly before award.

The visible damage is only part of the issue. Planning should consider the moisture source, affected materials, extent, containment needs, occupant sensitivity, and whether environmental assessment or a specialized trade is appropriate. Suspected hazardous materials should not be disturbed before proper review.

Urgent requests can be reviewed by phone and prioritized when the type of work and schedule allow, but the website does not guarantee 24-hour dispatch. For fire, gas odour, electrical danger, structural danger, or major active flooding, leave the area if necessary and contact emergency services or the appropriate utility first.

Yes. Services can include commercial interior renovations, office fit-outs, tenant improvements, partitions, flooring, painting, finish work, and coordinated repairs, subject to property and operational requirements.

Electrical work for hire in Ontario is completed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor. When the scope requires an ESA notification and review, that contractor arranges the process and provides the Certificate of Acceptance after the work passes the applicable ESA review or inspection. See our electrical and plumbing coordination page for details.

Renovation-related fixture connections, supply and drain work, shutoffs, rough-ins, relocations, and repairs are coordinated with appropriately qualified trades. Municipal permits, inspections, building approvals, and shutdown procedures are confirmed for the actual property and scope.

JT is based in Richmond Hill and serves the GTA and Southern Ontario, including Newmarket, Vaughan, Brampton, Markham, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Toronto, Mississauga, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Oakville, Barrie, Burlington, Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener–Waterloo, and Paris, Ontario. Availability is confirmed for the exact property address.

Send the property address, room measurements when available, photos, desired result, must-have and optional items, occupancy, access, building rules, target date, and budget range. A walkthrough may still be required before JT can provide a project-specific written quote.
