There is no reliable one-price turnover.
A paint-and-clean make-ready is not comparable to a vacancy renovation involving cabinets, plumbing, flooring, drywall, fixtures, and concealed damage.
Start by separating items that can remain, items that can be repaired, and items that must be replaced. Then add access, protection, demolition, disposal, cleaning, permits or specialist documentation where required.
Useful 2026 planning ranges
| Work category | Broad GTA planning range | Main variables |

| Full apartment or condo renovation | $18,000–$160,000+ | Unit size, rooms, building rules, demolition, and finish level. |
| Kitchen renovation | $25,000–$100,000+ | Cabinetry, layout, counters, appliances, plumbing, and electrical. |
| Standard bathroom renovation | $15,000–$55,000+ | Waterproofing, tile, fixtures, ventilation, and concealed conditions. |
| Installed flooring | $5–$18/sq. ft. | Material, removal, subfloor preparation, transitions, and stairs. |
| Interior painting | $3.50–$8/sq. ft. | Repairs, preparation, colours, trim, occupancy, and protection. |
These are consumer planning ranges, not JT quotations. HST and excluded work may be additional. A property-specific price requires the actual scope and conditions.
What usually moves the budget
- Hidden damage: moisture, deteriorated substrates, or previous incomplete repairs.
- Building logistics: elevators, loading windows, parking, security, waste routes, and permitted work hours.
- Standardization: approved finishes and repeatable selections can reduce decision delays.
- Decision timing: late substitutions and unclear approvals can interrupt sequencing.
- Grouped scope: coordinating connected repairs together can avoid repeated mobilization and protection.
