Renovations built around how North York condos live
Many North York condos along the Yonge corridor went up in the 1990s and 2000s, and it shows: closed galley kitchens, builder-grade bathrooms, bulkheads in odd places and finishes that date the whole unit. Renovating one is a different job from renovating a house, with concrete ceilings, shared plumbing stacks and a condo board to satisfy.
We work within those rules every week, from the alteration agreement to the last elevator booking, and bring the same craftsmanship you see in our North York home renovations. Whether it is a full unit or a single kitchen renovation, we take one project at a time, so yours has our full attention from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.
Building knowledge that keeps your project moving
We renovate condos across North York and know the practical side of working in these buildings: booking elevators and loading docks, protecting corridors, respecting working hours, and coordinating with property management so your neighbours barely notice the project is happening.

Cost comes down to the size of your unit, the finishes you pick and how much plumbing or layout work is involved. The ranges below are general planning figures for North York condos, meant to help you budget before a fixed quote.
| Project type | Typical North York condo range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh (paint, lighting, hardware) | $5,000 – $15,000 | No board approval usually needed |
| Flooring throughout | $8 – $15 / sq ft | Acoustic underlay per building rules |
| Condo bathroom renovation | $15,000 – $35,000+ | Higher for shower conversions |
| Condo kitchen renovation | $25,000 – $60,000+ | Cabinetry and counters drive the range |
| Full unit renovation | $60 – $150 / sq ft | Depends on finishes and layout changes |
| Layout / partition changes | Quoted per project | Permit and board approval when required |
| Building permit fees | $300 – $2,000+ | Set by the City of Toronto by scope |
These are planning ranges, not a quote. Older units can hide surprises behind bulkheads and under original flooring, so we suggest holding back about 10 percent as contingency. Book a consultation for an estimate built around your unit and your building's requirements.

Book a Free ConsultationApprovals for North York condo renovations
Renovating a condo means satisfying two sets of rules: the City of Toronto, which issues building permits under the Ontario Building Code, and your condo corporation, which approves alterations under its declaration and rules. We handle both, from drawings and applications to the paperwork your property manager needs before work begins.
Board approval and often a permit come into play when the work goes beyond finishes. Common examples in North York condos:
- Removing or reworking partition walls to open the layout
- Moving or adding plumbing for kitchens and bathrooms
- Electrical panel work and new dedicated circuits
- Replacing flooring, which needs acoustic underlay to building standards
- Any change that touches common elements, risers or the unit's envelope
What we handle for you
Unapproved work risks stop-work orders from your board, restoration costs and problems at resale. As a RenoMark and BILD member, we keep every project compliant.
- Alteration agreement and drawings for your board
- Certificate of insurance to property management
- City of Toronto permits when required
- Elevator and loading dock bookings
- Corridor and floor protection, and building working hours respected

Our second big project with Sam's team, and again the care and detail went beyond what we expected. They kept the house clean and protected, worked quickly with little disruption, and six years on our kitchen still looks brand new.
Charlotte & James Toronto · via HomeStarsMy bathroom needed a near full gut, and I wanted it to let me age in place at home. Sam and Paul answered every question, and Paul's tile work was second to none. The result is both beautiful and practical.
Ruth Toronto · via HomeStarsSam was one of the few contractors happy to meet over Zoom and tour the house remotely. He guided our material choices, timed each delivery, and his team finished two beautiful bathrooms in five weeks.
Warren R. Toronto, ONAfter other companies barely followed up, Sam was responsive and clear from start to finish. They kept their word on cost and timeline and adjusted quickly to our requests. We got the modern kitchen we pictured.
Fred & Bertha Toronto, ONSam's bathroom design was more than we expected, and Mike and Greg were always on time and courteous. What impressed us most was how flexible he was, rescheduling around our health concerns without any fuss.
Mr. GL Toronto, ONWe have trusted Sam with the bathrooms in our homes across Toronto and Aurora for more than 20 years. He is a true craftsman and completely trustworthy, and Adam handled our latest ensuite beautifully.
