Planning

Planning a home renovation in Oakville

Costs, permits, timing and local details, for when you want the full picture.

What a home renovation costs in Oakville

Whole-home renovations we build usually cost $100,000 to $250,000+ before HST, depending on how many rooms are involved and whether walls move. A main floor on its own usually costs less.

Every job is priced room by room after a visit, so you can choose what to do now and what can wait.

Planning a whole-home renovation in Oakville

Structure first

Walls, beams and anything the permit covers come first, so nothing finished has to be opened again.

Then the wet rooms

Kitchen and bathroom plumbing and wiring go in while walls and floors are open.

Floors and stairs next

One floor through the main level, and the stairs refinished or re-clad to match.

Finishes last

Cabinets, counters, tile, trim and paint, once the dusty work is done.

Stay or go

Most families live at home through a main-floor job. For a whole house, a few weeks away can shorten the schedule. We plan it with you.

Budget in one place

One fixed price for everything, instead of separate quotes for each room that never quite add up.

Opening up a main floor

Taking out a load-bearing wall

  • An engineer sizes the beam and the posts that carry it down to the foundation
  • A Town of Oakville permit before the wall comes out
  • Temporary supports while the old wall is removed
  • Inspections at the framing stage

Flush or dropped beam

A recessed (flush) beam sits up inside the ceiling, so the room reads as one open space with no bulkhead, as in our Glen Abbey main floor. A dropped beam hangs below the ceiling and costs less. We show you both before you decide.

Oakville homes and what they need
Old Oakville and Bronte

Older homes with smaller rooms, plaster walls and sometimes heritage rules for the outside. Interiors can usually be opened up; we plan for old wiring and plumbing.

Clearview, Falgarwood and College Park

1970s homes with separate kitchen, dining and living rooms. Opening them into one space is the most common whole-floor change.

Glen Abbey and River Oaks

1980s and 90s two-storeys with formal rooms nobody uses. Turning them into one open main floor, like our Glen Abbey job, gives the house a different life.

West Oak Trails and north Oakville

Newer homes with good layouts and builder finishes. Floors, stairs, kitchen and lighting upgraded through the whole main level.

How long a Oakville renovation takes

A main floor is usually three to eight weeks on site. Whole homes and additions take two to four months, plus drawings and permits.

Weeks 1 to 2

Design, drawings and price

We measure every room, design the layout, prepare drawings and give you a fixed price. Permits go in now.

Week 3 on

Structure and rough-ins

Walls and beams, then plumbing, wiring and ducts while everything is open, followed by inspections.

Middle weeks

Close up and build

Drywall, floors, stairs, kitchen and bathrooms, room by room in the planned order.

Final weeks

Finishes

Trim, paint, fixtures and appliances, then a full clean.

Last day

Walkthrough

We go through every room with you, finish your list and start the warranty.

Questions

Oakville home renovation FAQ

How much does a home renovation cost in Oakville?

It depends on how many rooms and whether walls move. Whole-home renovations we build usually fall in the range shown above, before HST, with a recessed beam, a moved kitchen and new stairs toward the upper end. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll give you a range at the first visit.

How long does it take?

A main floor usually takes three to eight weeks on site. A whole home or an addition can take two to four months. Permits for structural work add time before we start.

Can we live at home during the work?

Usually, for a main floor. We keep a working bathroom and plan the noisy, dusty work in blocks. For a whole house, a few weeks away can shorten the schedule.

Can you remove a load-bearing wall?

Yes. An engineer sizes the beam, we get the Town of Oakville permit, and the beam can sit flush in the ceiling so there's no bulkhead.

What if my house is in a heritage district?

Interior work usually doesn't need heritage approval. Exterior changes such as windows and additions do, and we check before quoting.

Do you refinish or replace stairs?

Yes. We recap or rebuild treads, replace pickets and railings, and match the stairs to the new floors.

What does one fixed price cover?

Every room, trade and finish in the scope, plus design, engineering coordination and permits. It's itemized so you can see where the money goes.

What warranty do you give?

Four years on our workmanship, plus manufacturers' warranties on products and appliances.

Which parts of Oakville do you work in?

All of Oakville, from Old Oakville and Bronte to Glen Abbey, River Oaks, Joshua Creek, Clearview, West Oak Trails and north Oakville, from our office at 1155 North Service Rd W.
