Toronto and the GTA Written Contracts, No Guarantees We Cannot Keep

About Renovator Toronto

Renovator Toronto is a renovation contractor working across Toronto and 15 surrounding communities. We are a new brand, and we would rather say that plainly than invent a history. What we do bring is a way of working: settle the permit position and the structure before finishes get chosen, put every scope in writing before anyone commits, and quote from published Toronto pricing rather than a number picked to win the job.

Basements, suites, kitchens, bathrooms, additions and structural work

Published Toronto pricing, itemized written quotes

Permit path confirmed by address before work is scoped

How we work

Structure and permits first, finishes second

Most renovation disputes we hear about start the same way: someone priced the visible work and discovered the invisible work afterwards. A basement quoted as a finish that turned out to need underpinning. An open-plan kitchen quoted without a beam. A basement suite finished without the egress window, the fire separation or the interconnected alarms that make it legal. We work the other way round. The site visit establishes clear ceiling height at the lowest obstruction, where the drains and stacks run, what the electrical panel can carry, whether a wall is bearing, and which permit applies at your address. Those findings go in the quote as lines with numbers against them. If the answer is that the project you want is not the project your house allows, you get told at the site visit rather than in week three.

What you can expect from us

No claims we cannot document

We do not publish a years-in-business figure, a project count, a star rating or an award we do not have. We are new. The reviews on this site are direct client reviews and nothing else is dressed up as proof.

Everything in writing, including your rights

Ontario requires a written agreement over $50, gives you 10 days to cancel a contract signed at your home, and caps overruns at 10 percent without your signed approval. Our paperwork states all three rather than burying them.

Pricing you can check yourself

Every price range on this site comes from a Canadian cost guide or a market benchmark current in 2026, and where sources disagree we show the spread rather than the flattering figure.

What we will and will not tell you

Being a new brand means being careful about claims. These are the lines we hold.

Warranty is per job, in writing

Any workmanship warranty is set out in your written quote, job by job. We do not advertise a blanket guarantee, because a guarantee that is not in your contract is not worth anything. Tarion does not cover renovations to a home you already own.

Credentials only when we can produce the document

There is no general renovation contractor licence in Ontario. We will name a specific licence, an insurance certificate or a WSIB clearance certificate when we can hand it to you, and we will not use the word insured as decoration.

Permits pulled, or a reason why none is needed

Toronto needs a permit the moment you change a wall, an opening or a system. We either file it or explain in writing why your scope does not require one. We do not offer to work around one.

Local facts, not local flavour

The numbers on this site, housing age, freeze-thaw cycles, permit fees, bylaw dimensions, subsidy caps, come from the City of Toronto, Statistics Canada and Ontario sources. Where we could not verify something, we left it out rather than rounding it into place.

Our Process

What working with us looks like

1

You describe the outcome

Not a scope. Tell us what you want the space to do and we will work out what that requires.

2

We find out what the building allows

Height, drains, framing, panel capacity, zoning and the permit path for your address, measured rather than assumed.

3

You get the scope and the number in writing

Itemized, with permit and engineering allowances, payment schedule, dates and HST at 13 percent shown.

4

We build it and close it out

Inspections booked as stages close, a written deficiency list worked, then a walkthrough before final payment.

Where we work

Toronto and 15 surrounding communities across York, Peel, Halton and Durham.

What our clients say

The crew completed our basement renovation with excellent attention to detail. They listened to our needs, offered practical suggestions, and created a comfortable space for our family.

We had a great experience with the team from the initial estimate to the final walkthrough. Communication was clear, the schedule was well managed, and the results look fantastic.

We hired the team for a bathroom renovation in our Toronto home. They handled the demolition, tile work, and finishing details professionally and kept the work area organized.

About working with Renovator Toronto

How long has Renovator Toronto been operating?

We are a new brand and we say so rather than inventing a founding year. What that means practically is that we compete on how a job is scoped and documented rather than on a track record we cannot show you yet.

Are you licensed and insured?

There is no general renovation contractor licence in Ontario, so any contractor claiming one is describing something else. Ask us, and ask anyone else quoting, for a current certificate of insurance and a WSIB clearance certificate in writing. We will provide what we hold and we will not describe coverage we cannot document.

Do you work as the general contractor or hire out?

We work as the general contractor, which means one contract, one schedule and one point of contact. Specialist trades, engineering and any work requiring its own licence are brought in under that contract and named in your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Toronto, including Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, East York and the old city, plus Vaughan, Mississauga, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Oakville, Aurora, Newmarket, Milton, Pickering and Burlington.
