We recently completed a full home renovation plus addition with Built By Pros and we were so happy with our decision! We looked at many different companies and ultimately decided on Built By Pros after meeting with Ricardo and Suzanne and getting a good feeling from them right off the bat. They were very helpful and involved in every step of the process which gave us complete trust and confidence in them. They hold themselves to a high quality and customer service standard and it shows through their approach and their work.

The whole team was great to work with. The crew was friendly, respectful, helpful and went the extra mile to ensure all our requests were accommodated. The project was on budget and on time and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother process.

We have now moved into our new house and are loving our new space. If you’re looking to do a home reno, look no further than Built By Pros!

Incredible team to work with, exceptional quality of work!

We've just underwent a major home renovation - When you are taking on a project of this magnitude, you need to have trust in your partners, and the Built by Pros team earned our trust every step of the way. They worked tirelessly to get the job done on time, and to a high quality of finish. They were honest and open in their communications - which is so important when you are renovating a 100+ year old home and bound to discover some issue hidden behind dry wall. They were reasonable in their pricing - the team has a great designer and architect who helped us find creative design solutions that helped us fall in love with our house, but also do it within budget.

For people in the GTA considering a home reno - we highly recommend this team.

I chose Built By Pros for my en suite bathroom renovation after meeting with them at the Toronto Home Show. From the initial meeting with Suzanne to subsequent conversations about what I wanted for the renovation as a part of the contract signing - the process was smooth and feedback was always heard and quickly addressed. I felt very comfortable moving forward with the contract and project given the amount of details provided for the initial assessment and a clear understanding of the project milestones, cost and timelines. It was a pleasure working with Suzanne and Petra through the planning and construction - I had an idea / vision of what I wanted the bathroom to look like and they both made sure it was possible, down to every last detail. The crew was also great - very meticulous with their work and receptive to feedback (also very detail oriented which was excellent).

The bathroom construction timeline itself was extended a bit but was totally worth the wait. It is beautiful, functional and exactly what I hoped for. I would highly recommend Built By Pros for your construction project.

Planning Your Renovation in Toronto

Toronto projects range from updating older interiors to adding space and planning a new home. The existing structure, access to the property and the relationship to neighbouring homes all help shape the scope and construction plan.

Built By Pros brings design and construction together. We discuss what you want to change, review the existing space and help define the work before construction begins. That includes decisions about layout, finishes and the drawings or engineering your project may need.

Explore home renovations, home additions or custom homes to learn more about the options.

Design, Permits & Construction With One Team

A clear scope helps you understand what is included and which decisions are still ahead. Our process covers consultation, design and scope confirmation, project planning, construction and a final walkthrough. Drawings, engineering and permit applications are coordinated where the work requires them.

Requirements depend on the property and the proposed changes. We review the requirements and discuss the approval steps during planning. During construction, documented changes and regular communication help keep you informed about the work.

See our process for the steps from your first conversation to handover.

Commercial & Office Renovations in Toronto

We also renovate offices and commercial interiors. These projects need a plan for how the space will function, how the work will be sequenced and which services or finishes need to change. If your business will remain in operation, discuss access and scheduling with our team at the start.

Visit our commercial renovation and office renovation pages for relevant projects and a client video. When you are ready, use the quote form or call us to discuss your property, the work you have in mind and your preferred timing.

FAQ

Renovation in Toronto: Your Questions Answered

Do I need a building permit for my Toronto home renovation?

Typically, any project that involves structural changes, additions, new plumbing, or significant HVAC work requires a permit from the City of Toronto. Cosmetic updates like flooring or painting do not, but moving a wall or adding a basement apartment strictly does. Our team handles the entire permit application process, including preparing architectural drawings and engineering stamps, to ensure your project is 100% legal and insurable.

How much does a typical renovation cost per square foot in Toronto?

In Toronto, ON, costs can vary significantly based on the level of finishes and structural complexity. High-end renovations generally range from $250 to $450 per square foot, while custom new builds start higher. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after our initial consultation to ensure there are no surprises. This quote covers everything from demolition and waste bins to the final paint touch-ups and fixture installation.

How long will my home addition or rebuild take to complete?

A standard kitchen or bathroom renovation usually takes 6–10 weeks, while a large-scale addition can take 4–6 months. Full custom home rebuilds typically require 10–14 months from the start of demolition. These timelines include time for city inspections and material lead times. We create a week-by-week schedule during the planning phase so you can see exactly when each trade will be on-site.

How do you handle changes to the project scope once work has started?

We use a formal Change Order process to ensure transparency. If you decide to upgrade a material or add a feature mid-project, we provide a written description and a fixed price for the change. No additional work begins until you have signed off on the Change Order, meaning your final invoice will always match your original contract plus any approved adjustments. This prevents the financial 'creep' that often plagues the construction industry.
