Condo Renovation in Ontario

Renovating a condo is a different sport from renovating a house. Before the first cut, there's a condo board to satisfy: an alteration agreement, a certificate of insurance, sometimes a damage deposit. There are elevator bookings, loading-dock windows, and working hours written into the building's rules — usually weekdays only, often 9 to 5. Crews that don't know this routine burn your goodwill with the property manager in the first week.

The work itself has its own constraints. You can't move the plumbing stacks. Kitchen and bathroom drains have to stay close to where the building put them. Concrete ceilings mean pot lights need careful planning, and everything you demo has to travel down a service elevator in bins, not out a window. Good condo renovators design around these limits instead of discovering them mid-job.

Within those limits, a lot is possible: a kitchen opened to the living space, a cramped bathroom rebuilt with a walk-in shower, flooring replaced throughout with the underlay your building's soundproofing rules require. Tell us the building, the unit, and what you're hoping for — photos help — and we'll quote it properly.

What this covers

  • Full condo unit renovations and single-room updates
  • Kitchen renovations within existing plumbing stack locations
  • Bathroom rebuilds, walk-in showers and vanity upgrades
  • Flooring replacement with building-compliant sound underlay
  • Interior painting, trim and door replacement
  • Electrical updates by a Licensed Electrical Contractor
  • Help preparing alteration-agreement paperwork for your board
  • Elevator booking, floor protection and building-rule compliance
  • Demolition, bin-out and daily cleanup through the service elevator

What affects the price

  • Your building's rules — working hours, elevator access and approval requirements all affect schedule and cost
  • How far kitchens and bathrooms move from the existing stacks (short answer: they mostly shouldn't)
  • Concrete versus drop ceilings — it changes what lighting and wiring are practical
  • Flooring sound-rating requirements set by the condo corporation
  • Finish level, from clean and rentable to fully custom
  • Whether the unit is empty or you're living in it
  • Age of the building — older towers can hide dated wiring and valves that are worth updating while walls are open

Common questions

Do I need my condo board's permission to renovate?
Almost always, for anything beyond paint. Most corporations require an alteration agreement describing the work, proof of contractor insurance, and sometimes a deposit against damage to common elements. It's paperwork, not a roadblock — we've been through the routine and can help you put the package together.
Can I move my kitchen or bathroom to another spot in the unit?
Usually not far. Your drains connect to the building's stacks, and those don't move. Sinks and appliances can often shift within a few feet with proper slope, but relocating a bathroom across the unit is rarely approved and rarely worth it. The better play is making the existing footprint work harder.
What hours can the work happen?
Whatever your building allows — typically weekday business hours, with noisy work sometimes restricted further. It's one of the main reasons condo jobs run longer on the calendar than the same work in a house. We schedule around your building's rules from day one so there are no violation notices on your door.
Do condo renovations need a building permit too?
Sometimes. Moving interior walls, altering plumbing, or changing anything structural triggers a municipal permit on top of board approval. Cosmetic work — flooring, cabinets, paint, tile — generally doesn't. We'll flag which side of the line your plans fall on when we quote.
I just want one thing done — a backsplash, a vanity, some pot lights. Worth asking?
That's exactly the kind of job we take. Small condo jobs are constantly turned down by bigger renovators, which is why they're hard to book. One visit, building rules respected, done. Send a photo and what you want changed.
