Contract items to review

A renovation agreement should explain the work, legal party, payment schedule, exclusions, allowances, change process, warranty terms, and cancellation rules where applicable.

  • Legal contracting party
  • Scope and drawings
  • Allowances and exclusions
  • Payment schedule
  • Change orders
  • Warranty or workmanship support

Documents to keep

Keep the signed agreement, estimate, change approvals, drawings, permits, material selections, inspection notes, and final walkthrough notes.

Before signing

Do not rely on verbal assumptions. Ask for unclear items to be written into the estimate or agreement.

Common questions

Do you provide free renovation estimates?

Yes. Start with the estimate form or call directly. Final pricing depends on scope, site conditions, selections, access, timeline, and a written agreement.

Can I send photos before the estimate?

Yes. Add photo notes in the estimate form and we will request any useful current-space photos, drawings, or inspiration images during follow-up.

Do you work across Toronto and the GTA?

The launch service area covers Toronto and core GTA cities. Selected surrounding communities are reviewed by project type, distance, schedule, and postal code.

Do you help with permits?

Permit needs are reviewed during planning. Structural work, additions, legal basement suites, and some condo renovations may require extra review before pricing is final.

Do you provide a written quote?

Yes. The goal is to define scope, assumptions, exclusions, timeline, payment schedule, and next steps in writing before renovation work begins.
