Home Renovation in Oshawa

It depends on the square footage, how much structure and mechanical work moves, and the level of finish. The number worth comparing is the one attached to a written scope with allowances in it, because two quotes for "the whole house" are rarely describing the same work.

Three to six months on site for most houses, with design and permits ahead of that. The schedule is agreed before the contract is signed, room by room, so you know what is unusable and when.

Often yes, in stages, with the work area sealed off and a working kitchen or bathroom kept for as long as the sequence allows. For a full gut it is usually cheaper and faster to move out, and we will say so rather than sell you the harder version.

For structural changes, additions, and anything that moves plumbing, electrical or HVAC — yes. Oshawa issues the permit, and older houses near the downtown are often reviewed against work that was done before permits were kept properly. We file the applications and build to what was approved.

Yes. We take on whole-home projects across the GTA, including Whitby, Courtice and Ajax, with the same fixed-price contract and the same five-year workmanship warranty.

It goes to you as a written change order with a price, before the work happens. That is the point of allowances: the surprise costs what it costs, but it never arrives as an invoice you did not agree to.
