The scope typically includes complete interior demolition, structural modifications where needed, new electrical and plumbing systems, HVAC upgrades, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, and all finish work. Kitchens and bathrooms get rebuilt from scratch. Many projects also involve basement underpinning to add ceiling height and usable square footage below grade.
Full Gut Renovations in Toronto
A gut renovation strips your home back to the studs and rebuilds it from the inside out. New layout, new systems, new everything. It's the most comprehensive way to transform an existing house into something that actually fits how you live.
For homeowners in Midtown Toronto neighbourhoods like Davisville Village, Leaside, Lawrence Park, and Bedford Park, gut renovations often make more sense than moving. The location is right. The lot size works. The bones are solid. What needs to change is everything else.
What a Gut Renovation Involves
Permits are part of the process. So is coordination with architects and engineers when structural changes come into play. The complexity is real, which is why the coordination matters as much as the craftsmanship.
How We Approach Gut Renovations
Every gut renovation follows a systematic process designed to keep the project moving and keep you informed. Before demolition begins, we map out the full scope, lock in the critical decisions, and establish a realistic timeline based on your specific project.
During construction, you get regular updates on progress and any decisions that need your input. One point of contact handles coordination across all trades, so you’re not fielding calls from electricians, plumbers, and tile installers separately.
The goal is simple: deliver your renovated home on the timeline we discussed, with the quality you expect to see every day for years to come.
Project Scope and Investment
Gut renovations in Toronto typically range from $250,000 to $850,000 depending on the size of the home, extent of structural work, and level of finishes. Timeline runs 6 to 12 months from demolition to move-in, depending on permit requirements and project complexity.
We work with homeowners who value predictable timelines and clear communication over the lowest possible price. If that sounds like the right fit, we should talk.
