Full Main Floor Renovations

A full main floor renovation has seven moving parts: design, permits, structure, mechanicals, kitchen, counters and finishes. Hire them separately and you become the general contractor. We run all of it on one schedule, with the structural work done in house, and typically deliver in two to three months.

Main Floor Renovation in Whitby: Sleepy Hollow

How it works, start to finish

Step 1

Budget and scope

The budget decides the scope, and the scope has to match the outcome you actually want. That conversation comes first.

Step 2

Design and drawings

Interior designer and engineer at the same table, then drawings, permit and insurance in place.

Step 3

Demolition and structure

Demolition, then the structural work: walls, beams, and any window or layout changes the new plan needs.

Step 4

Mechanicals and infrastructure

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, smart wiring, sound insulation and subfloor reinforcement before anything gets closed up.

Step 5

Kitchen and finishes

Custom kitchen, countertops and backsplash, flooring, doors and trim, then touch ups, a professional clean and the reveal.

What we actually do for you

Our role is project management with the structural work done in house: coordinating the interior designer, the engineers and the city, running the trades in the right order, and solving the problems before they cost you money. The savings come from foreseeing issues and from relationships that deliver on schedule, not from cutting the scope.

Condo projects

Condo renovations are their own thing: board approvals, elevator bookings and work-hour limits shape the schedule. In an older building the highest-value moves are usually kitchen cabinets or doors, quartz countertops, custom closets, flooring, and a bathroom refresh.

I have an attic that I wanted to convert into a master bedroom with a bathroom. Not knowing if it was even possible, I instructed Aldo to come and give me there advice/opinion on there project. They did an incredibly thorough job of inspecting the attic and provided me with an invaluable wealth of information concerning the job. I asked all the questions I wanted, some of which were not even structural engineer... Read the full review

We are very pleased with the work that Alex and his team provided for us. They removed a load bearing wall and were incredibly efficient. Alex is very pleasant, knowledgeable and fair with prices. He showed up on time, was very accomodating and always answered our questions. This was our first major reno so we were very nervous but I would trust Alex with any of our future renovations. Thank you again! Anna and Dave

Questions homeowners ask

How long does a main floor renovation take?

Typically two to three months once the permit is in hand, depending on the scope and on lead times for the kitchen and finishes.

Do I need a building permit for a main floor renovation?

If walls, structure, windows or plumbing locations change, yes. We handle the drawings and the application.

Can we live in the house during the renovation?

Some clients do, some move out for the messiest phase. We are honest about which weeks are liveable and which are not.

Should we do the kitchen at the same time as the walls?

Almost always yes. Opening the floor and rebuilding the kitchen touch the same walls, mechanicals and flooring, so doing them together costs far less than doing them twice.

Who chooses the finishes?

You do, with the interior designer. We coordinate the manufacturers and make sure what is specified is what gets built.
