Every project begins with a free, in-person site visit to your property. We measure your existing kitchen or bathroom, photograph existing conditions, assess the structural and mechanical configuration, and identify any relevant constraints. We then have a detailed conversation about your goals for the renovated space, your cooking habits and workflow for kitchens, your daily routine and household needs for bathrooms, your budget range, your timeline, and your design aesthetic preferences. Based on this assessment and conversation, we provide initial guidance on what is achievable and what the realistic investment range looks like.
With your goals and site conditions in hand, our design team develops the detailed renovation plan. For kitchens, this includes cabinet layout, island sizing, appliance positions, lighting zones, countertop and backsplash specification, flooring selection, and range hood specification. For bathrooms, this includes tile scheme for floors and walls, shower or tub configuration, vanity placement, fixture specification, lighting positions, and exhaust ventilation specification. We produce a 3D visualization of the completed space so you can see the finished result before any material is purchased or any work begins. We then prepare OBC-compliant construction drawings ready for permit submission.
For all kitchen and bathroom renovation projects requiring permits, we prepare and submit complete applications to the appropriate municipal authority and ESA. We manage all communication throughout the permit review process, respond to any technical comments within days, and ensure all approvals are in hand before construction begins. You never contact a permitting authority yourself throughout this process. For projects that do not require permits, cosmetic updates without structural, plumbing, or electrical scope changes, we proceed directly to construction scheduling.
With permits in hand and materials procured, construction follows the approved drawings in a planned sequence. For kitchen renovations: demolition and disposal, structural modifications where applicable, rough-in plumbing and electrical, cabinet installation, countertop templating and installation, backsplash tile, flooring, lighting and fixture installation, range hood installation, painting, trim, and finishing. For bathroom renovations: demolition and disposal, rough-in plumbing modifications where applicable, waterproofing membrane installation on all wet surfaces, tile installation on shower walls, shower floor, and bathroom floor, vanity and fixture installation, glass enclosure installation, lighting and exhaust installation, painting, and finishing. Our project manager coordinates all trade activity and keeps you informed throughout.
Before any client walkthrough, we conduct an internal quality review comparing all completed work against the construction drawings and our quality checklist. Tile installation is inspected for proper adhesion, grout consistency, and slope to drain. Cabinetry is checked for alignment, door and drawer function, and hardware installation. All plumbing fixtures are checked for proper seating and function. All electrical fixtures are tested. Any item not meeting our standard is corrected before you see the space. Required city and ESA inspections are coordinated and attended at this stage.
The final walkthrough is conducted with you in the completed space. We review all completed work element by element, invite your questions and feedback, and address any remaining items on the spot. We provide the complete permit close-out documentation package, all permit cards and inspection records. We provide your written workmanship warranty documentation. And then we step back and let you enjoy the finished kitchen or bathroom you have been envisioning throughout the project.
