What it actually costs in Toronto
STARTING PRICE BY ROOM · LIVE FROM THE MR.C RATE CARD — UPDATED AUGUST 2026Those are builder-grade starting points — Better and premium tiers price up from there as you pick materials in the brief. Your number moves with square footage and the answers you give — smaller rooms genuinely price smaller, and every add or reduction shows as its own line. The estimate is ±30% at step one and ±8% by the end, then one site check locks it. After that, changes only happen as written change orders you approve.
RENOVATING IN TORONTO — Toronto's older stock — Victorian and Edwardian rows, wartime semis — hides the classics behind the walls: knob-and-tube, galvanized supply lines, plaster over lath. The range carries a hidden-condition allowance for exactly that, and the crew's one site check prices anything found in writing before work starts.

Kitchen renovation cost questions, answered straight
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Toronto in 2026?
On our rate card, a kitchen renovation runs $21,850–$52,430 depending on footprint, cabinet count and spec tier. Cabinet-and-counter refreshes land at the low end; full-gut kitchens with layout changes at the top. Your exact number takes 2 minutes on the brief.
What's included in the price?
Demo and disposal, cabinet installation, counters, backsplash tile, plumbing and electrical by licensed trades, lighting, paint, and project management with per-milestone payments. Cabinets and counters follow your Good/Better/Best pick — each tier priced on the page.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A cabinet-and-counter refresh runs 1–2 weeks. A full kitchen with new layout runs 3–5 weeks including counter templating. The schedule is milestone-tracked in your project room with weekly photo updates.
Can I keep my existing layout to save money?
Yes — keeping appliances and gas where they are is a real saver: moving them adds +$3,000 on the card, and a full layout change adds more. The brief asks exactly that question and reprices live when you answer.
Are cabinets included?
Yes — supplied by the crew at the tier you pick, builder-grade shaker at STD through custom-fit at BEST, or they install yours if you already ordered. Both paths are on the rate card.
