Condo Renovations in North York
From the towers on Yonge Street between Sheppard and Finch to older high-rises in Flemingdon Park and Don Valley Village, we renovate North York condo suites around your building's rules.
Condo Living Along the Yonge Line
Toronto's Official Plan names North York Centre as one of four Centres where jobs, housing and services will be concentrated, and its secondary plan focuses growth on the Yonge subway stations at Sheppard, North York Centre and Finch. In the 2021 census, 92.3% of homes in the Yonge-Doris neighbourhood were in buildings of five or more storeys, and 89.3% were condominiums.
Many of those suites are reaching the age when a first full renovation makes sense. Close to half of Yonge-Doris homes (45.8%) were built between 2001 and 2010, and in neighbouring Avondale the figure is 50.9%. Buildings from the mid-1990s to 2007 are also where we check for Kitec supply plumbing at the consultation.
Not every North York condo is new. In Flemingdon Park, 83.1% of homes are in buildings of five or more storeys and 53.9% were built between 1961 and 1980. In towers of that age, we confirm with management what can change inside the suite before the design is final.

What a North York Condo Renovation Costs
Our published Toronto ranges are a good place to start: $20,000 to $40,000 for a refresh of flooring, paint, lighting and hardware, $40,000 to $75,000 for a mid-range renovation that includes the kitchen, bathroom and flooring, and $75,000 to $150,000 or more for a full gut of a larger or high-end unit.
For a one-bedroom suite of about 550 to 700 sq ft, a complete renovation typically runs $45,000 to $70,000. If your building dates from the mid-1990s to 2007 and has Kitec, budget $5,000 to $12,000 more to replace it. Every quote we give is itemized line by line.
What Shapes a North York Condo Project
Five things we plan for before work starts.
Board Approval Under the Act
Changes to the common elements need a board resolution and a section 98 agreement that sets out who pays for, maintains and insures the change.
Agreements Run With the Unit
A section 98 agreement is registered against your unit's title and binds future owners.
Fixed Plumbing Stacks
Drains and risers are shared, so layouts that keep kitchens and bathrooms near the stack save money.
Toronto Permits
Adding or removing walls or modifying plumbing needs a City permit. Cabinetry and like-for-like fixture swaps do not.
Kitec-Era Buildings
We check the supply lines in every suite built from the mid-1990s to 2007.
