Most standard bathroom renovations take 2-4 weeks from demolition to final inspection. Here's the typical breakdown:

• Week 1: Demolition, rough-in plumbing/electrical, framing
• Week 2: Drywall, waterproofing, tile installation
• Week 3: Vanity, fixtures, painting, finishing
• Week 4: Final touches, city inspection, cleanup

Basement bathrooms and accessible bathrooms may take 3-5 weeks due to additional requirements like concrete cutting or specialized installations. We'll provide an exact timeline during your free consultation.

Our bathroom renovation packages include everything needed for a complete transformation:

• Demolition & disposal (permits, dumpster, debris removal)
• All trades: Licensed plumbers, electricians, tile installers
• Materials: Fixtures, tile, vanity, hardware (mid-range standard)
• Permits & inspections (we handle all building permit applications)
• Project management (single point of contact, daily updates)
• 1-year warranty on workmanship

Not included: Structural changes beyond standard walls, mold remediation, asbestos removal (if discovered), premium fixtures/materials upgrades. We'll identify any additional costs during the consultation.

No, you don't need to move out. Most homeowners stay in their homes during bathroom renovations. Here's what to expect:

• Single bathroom homes: The bathroom will be out of commission for 2-4 weeks. Many clients use a neighbor's bathroom, gym shower, or we can arrange for a temporary toilet if needed.
• Multi-bathroom homes: We renovate one bathroom at a time so you always have a working bathroom.
• Daily cleanup: We contain dust, clean up daily, and seal off the work area with plastic barriers.
• Working hours: Typically 8am-5pm weekdays. We can adjust for your schedule.

For en suite renovations, you'll need to use another bathroom in your home, but you won't need to leave the house.

Yes, we handle everything. Permit applications and building inspections are included in our pricing:

• Building permit: Required for most bathroom renovations (plumbing, electrical, structural changes). We submit the application and drawings to your municipality.
• Plumbing inspection: Performed by the city after rough-in work is complete.
• Electrical inspection: ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) inspection for any electrical work.
• Final inspection: City building inspector verifies all work meets Ontario Building Code.

Permit costs: Typically $200-$400 in Richmond Hill/York Region (included in our quotes). Inspection scheduling: We coordinate all inspections and notify you of scheduled dates. You don't need to be home for most inspections.

Yes, we're flexible with scheduling. We understand you have a busy life:

• Weekend work: Available for an additional fee (not always necessary)
• Vacation timing: Many clients schedule renovations when they're away on vacation
• Key/lockbox access: You don't need to be home - we can use a lockbox or garage code

During the free consultation, we'll discuss your schedule preferences and build a timeline that works for you. Most clients appreciate that we stick to the schedule we promise - no ghosting or unexpected delays.

Yes, basement bathrooms are one of our specialties. Adding a bathroom to an unfinished basement requires additional work:

• Concrete cutting: We saw-cut the floor to access sewer lines ($1,500-$3,000)
• Rough-in plumbing: New drain lines, water supply, venting ($3,000-$6,000)
• Ejector pump: Required if bathroom is below sewer line ($1,200-$2,500)
• Framing & insulation: Building walls, ceiling, vapor barrier
• Complete 3-piece bathroom: Toilet, vanity, shower/tub

Total cost: $22,000-$35,000 for a complete basement bathroom addition. Timeline: 3-5 weeks including permits and inspections. Learn more about basement bathrooms

A curbless shower (also called barrier-free or walk-in shower) has no threshold or step to enter. The floor slopes gradually to the drain, making it:

• Accessible: Wheelchair-friendly, aging-in-place solution
• Modern: Sleek, spa-like aesthetic popular in luxury bathrooms
• Safe: No tripping hazard for seniors or anyone with mobility issues

Installation requirements:

• Custom waterproof shower pan with proper slope (1/4" per foot)
• Linear drain or center drain
• Extended waterproofing beyond shower area
• May require floor lowering (depends on your home's construction)

Cost: $6,000-$15,000 depending on size and finishes. More expensive than standard showers due to specialized waterproofing and slope requirements. View our accessible bathroom options
