Full Home Renovations

A full home renovation typically includes updates across multiple rooms or the entire house, which can range from kitchen and bathroom renovations to flooring, painting, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and in some cases structural changes like removing walls to open up the living space. Unlike a single-room project, a full home renovation requires careful sequencing, since work in one area, such as electrical rough-in, often needs to happen before finishing work like drywall and flooring in the same or adjoining spaces. Raven Reno & Condo manages the entire scope for you, coordinating every trade involved so you have a single point of contact throughout the project instead of juggling multiple contractors. During your free in-home consultation, we discuss your priorities and goals for the whole home, then build a detailed, phased plan and quote based on your specific property and budget.

Full home renovation timelines vary significantly based on the scope of work, the size of the home, and whether structural changes are involved. A renovation focused on cosmetic updates across several rooms might take a few weeks to a couple of months, while a full renovation involving new plumbing, electrical, layout changes, and finishes throughout the home can take several months from start to finish. Permit approval times, if structural or major electrical and plumbing changes are involved, can also extend the overall timeline. We build a realistic, phased schedule with you during your free in-home consultation based on the actual scope of your project, so you have a clear understanding of the timeline rather than a rough guess that does not reflect the true complexity of a whole-home renovation.

Yes, this is one of the main benefits of working with Raven Reno & Condo on a full home renovation rather than hiring and coordinating separate contractors for each trade yourself. We manage plumbers, electricians, framers, drywall installers, painters, and flooring installers as part of one coordinated project, and we handle the permit applications and inspections required for any structural, electrical, or plumbing changes involved. This single point of contact approach reduces scheduling conflicts between trades and keeps the project moving efficiently, since we are responsible for sequencing the work correctly. With over 20 years managing renovation projects across the GTA, and full licensing, insurance, and WSIB registration, we take on the coordination burden so you can focus on the decisions that matter to you, like design and finishes.

In many cases, yes, particularly if the renovation is phased room by room rather than happening throughout the entire home at once. However, full home renovations involving major plumbing, electrical, or structural work in multiple areas can make parts of your home temporarily unusable, and depending on the scope, some homeowners choose to stay elsewhere for portions of the project, especially if kitchens or all bathrooms are out of commission at the same time. During your free in-home consultation, we discuss the scope of your renovation and give you an honest assessment of what living through the project will realistically look like, including which areas of your home will remain accessible and when, so you can plan your living arrangements accordingly.

Full home renovation costs vary enormously depending on the size of the home, the number of rooms involved, the extent of structural or system changes, and the finishes selected throughout. A renovation focused on cosmetic updates across the home costs considerably less than one involving new plumbing, electrical, layout changes, and high-end finishes in every room. Because the scope of full home renovations differs so much from one project to the next, Raven Reno & Condo does not provide generic pricing online or over the phone. Instead, we assess your entire home during a free, no-obligation in-home consultation, discuss your priorities and budget, and provide a detailed, itemized quote broken down by area, so you understand exactly what you are paying for before committing to the project.

Yes. Before any work begins on a full home renovation, we put together a detailed scope of work, a phased project timeline, and an itemized budget so you know exactly what to expect. This includes the sequence of trades involved, expected duration for each phase, and a clear breakdown of costs by room or category, such as materials, labour, and permits. Having this information upfront helps you plan financially and logistically for the renovation, including any temporary living adjustments you may need to make. We review this plan with you in detail during the consultation and design process, and we welcome questions before signing off, since a clear, agreed-upon plan from the start is one of the best ways to avoid surprises once construction is underway.

Yes. Many full home renovations involve more than updating finishes, they involve rethinking how the space actually works for your household. This can include removing walls to create an open-concept kitchen and living area, reconfiguring an awkward floor plan, or planning a home addition to add square footage. Structural changes like removing load-bearing walls require an engineer’s assessment and a building permit, which we coordinate as part of the project. We work with you to understand how you actually use your home day to day, then propose layout options that improve flow and function, not just appearance. During your free in-home consultation, we discuss layout ideas and give you an honest sense of what is structurally feasible in your specific home.

Yes, Raven Reno & Condo handles the full range of home renovation work, from cosmetic updates like painting, flooring, and fixture replacement, to structural changes such as removing walls, adding support beams, or reconfiguring room layouts. Structural work always requires proper engineering assessment where needed and building permits, which we manage as part of your project, along with the required inspections. Many full home renovations combine both types of work, for example opening up a floor plan structurally while also updating all the finishes throughout. Having one company handle both the structural and cosmetic sides of your renovation keeps the project cohesive and properly sequenced, since structural work needs to happen before finishing work like drywall, flooring, and paint can be completed.
