Home Renovation Toronto & GTA
Whether you're looking to open up your main floor, modernize an aging home, or completely reconfigure the way your house works, a full home renovation is the most comprehensive way to get there.
Introduction
Homewrap is a design-build general contractor serving Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. We manage home renovations from first drawings through permit approval and construction, with one team accountable for the entire scope.
Our team brings engineering and commercial construction experience to residential projects. That translates into better planning, tighter coordination across trades, and a more structured process than most renovation companies deliver.
What a Full Home Renovation Covers
Removing or relocating walls, opening up floor plans, adding steel beams, and reinforcing floors. These are the changes that require engineering and permits, and they're where having a team with structural experience makes a real difference.
Most full renovations include a complete kitchen rebuild and one or more new bathrooms. We manage everything from plumbing relocation to tile installation and fixture setting.
Older Toronto homes typically need updated wiring, new electrical panels, modern plumbing, and improved heating and cooling. We coordinate all mechanical trades and schedule every required inspection.
Flooring, trim, paint, lighting, doors, and hardware. Once the structure and systems are in place, the finishing work brings everything together visually.
Any renovation involving structural, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work requires permits from the City of Toronto. We prepare and submit complete applications, manage the review process, and coordinate all required inspections.
Types of Home Renovations We Handle
A top-to-bottom transformation: new layout, new systems, new finishes throughout. We see this often with homeowners who've purchased an older house and want to bring it fully up to date before moving in.
Many older Toronto homes were built with small, closed-off rooms. Opening the main floor into a connected kitchen, dining, and living area is one of the most impactful changes you can make, and one of the most requested.
Renovating the main floor, upper level, and basement at the same time takes careful sequencing and coordination across multiple trades. We manage the full scope and schedule so the work moves efficiently.
When a renovation alone doesn't provide enough space, we can combine it with a rear extension, side addition, or second-storey build. We're licensed for new home construction, so we handle both the renovation and the new build scope.
How Much Does a Home Renovation Cost in Toronto?
The cost of a home renovation in Toronto depends on the scope of work, the age and condition of the house, material selections, and the level of finish. Here's a realistic breakdown for 2026.
Cosmetic refreshes (paint, flooring, fixtures, and surface-level updates) generally run $100 to $150 per square foot. Mid-range renovations that include kitchen and bathroom rebuilds, updated mechanical systems, and some structural work typically fall between $150 and $300 per square foot. High-end or comprehensive full-home renovations with premium finishes and extensive structural work can exceed $300 to $400+ per square foot.
For a 2,000 square foot home, that means anywhere from $200,000 for a cosmetic update to $800,000 or more for a comprehensive high-end transformation.
These ranges include construction and materials but typically exclude HST, design fees, and permit costs. We recommend budgeting a 10 to 15% contingency, especially for older homes where hidden conditions are more common.
How We Manage Your Renovation
Home renovations go wrong when there's no clear plan, no single point of accountability, and no structured communication. Our process is designed to address all three.
We visit your home, assess the space, and talk through your goals. You'll get an honest take on what's involved and a clear picture of scope, timeline, and budget before any commitments are made.
Our in-house team prepares drawings and a detailed scope of work covering every trade, material, and permit requirement. You review and approve everything before construction begins.
We submit all permit applications to the City of Toronto or your local municipality, manage the review process, and address any questions from examiners. You don't need to navigate this yourself.
A dedicated project lead coordinates every trade, manages inspections, and keeps you updated throughout the build. One point of contact, consistent communication, no surprises.
We walk the finished home with you, room by room. Anything that needs attention gets resolved before we hand over the keys. Your renovation comes with warranty coverage on our work.
