Kitchen and Bathroom Specialists
At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, we do two things: kitchen renovation and bathroom renovation.

  • Deeper material knowledge: Every countertop material, tile format, cabinet profile, waterproofing system, and ventilation specification comes from direct experience across hundreds of completed GTA kitchen and bathroom projects
  • Deeper design capability: Every layout challenge, structural constraint, and functional requirement we encounter is a kitchen or bathroom problem, not an occasional scope among many
  • Deeper trade expertise: Licensed electricians, plumbers, and tile setters who work exclusively on kitchens and bathrooms, not generalists rotating between roofs, decks, and renovations
  • Deeper permit experience: ESA, plumbing, and building permit requirements for kitchens and bathrooms managed every single day, not occasional work among many scopes

When you hire us, you get a team that has already solved every kitchen and bathroom challenge your space is likely to present, and brings that accumulated knowledge to your specific project.
Complete Design, Permit, and Construction — One Coordinated Team
At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, we manage your kitchen or bathroom renovation from the first design conversation through permit close-out and final walkthrough. One point of contact. One team responsible for every outcome.

  • No coordination gaps: Design, permit management, and all construction trades handled by one coordinated team, no separate designer handing off to a separate contractor with no shared accountability
  • No permit surprises: All required permits identified, applied for, and approved before construction begins, never discovered as a problem after demolition has started
  • No material delays: Cabinet lead times, tile availability, countertop templating schedules, and fixture procurement confirmed before demolition begins, construction proceeds without avoidable delays
  • No scope growth through change orders: Every element of the project priced and documented before you commit, unexpected conditions documented and approved before any additional work proceeds
  • No inspection failures: All required city and ESA inspections scheduled, coordinated, and attended in-house - nothing closed before required inspections are complete
  • Complete permit close-out at handover: Full permit documentation package provided, no open permits discovered at resale
All Permits Managed In-House
Kitchen and bathroom renovations frequently require ESA electrical permits, plumbing permits, and building permits for structural modifications. At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, we handle all of it, you never contact a permitting authority yourself.

  • Permit requirement assessment: All required permits identified during the consultation, before design is committed and before any work begins
  • All applications prepared and submitted: Building, ESA, and plumbing permit applications prepared and submitted simultaneously where possible, no sequential discovery that stacks delays on top of each other
  • Active application management: All city and ESA comments responded to within days, no applications expiring or falling to the bottom of the review queue
  • All inspections scheduled and coordinated: Every required construction stage inspection scheduled and attended in-house, rough-in inspections completed before walls are closed
  • Complete permit close-out at handover: All permits closed at project completion, full documentation package including all permit cards and inspection records provided at the final walkthrough
  • Zero homeowner involvement required: You never call a building department, navigate a permit portal, or schedule an inspection, from first application through final close-out, every step is managed by our team
Licensed Trades on Every Project
Kitchen and bathroom renovations frequently require ESA electrical permits, plumbing permits, and building permits for structural modifications. At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, we handle all of it - you never contact a permitting authority yourself.

  • Permit requirement assessment: Every project assessed during the consultation, all required permits identified before design is committed
  • All applications prepared and submitted: Building, ESA, and plumbing permit applications prepared by our team and submitted simultaneously where possible
  • Active application management: All city and ESA comments responded to within days - no applications expiring or falling to the bottom of the review queue
  • All inspections scheduled and coordinated: Every required construction stage inspection scheduled and attended in-house, rough-in inspections completed before walls are closed
  • Complete permit close-out: All permits closed at project completion, full documentation package including all permit cards and inspection records provided at handover
  • Zero homeowner involvement required: You never call a building department, navigate a permit portal, or schedule an inspection yourself, from first application through final close-out
Proper Waterproofing on Every Bathroom Shower
Inadequate waterproofing is the most common cause of long-term bathroom renovation failure, water infiltrating behind tile, causing mould, structural damage, and tile failure years after the project appeared complete. At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, proper waterproofing is a non-negotiable quality requirement on every project we build.

  • Full liquid waterproofing membrane system: Applied to every surface within the wet zone before any tile is installed - walls, floors, seams, corners, and all transitions
  • Not adhesive-only: Tile adhesive is not a waterproofing system - we never rely on adhesive alone or tape-based systems in shower areas
  • Not tape-and-mortar systems: The only approach that reliably prevents water infiltration behind tile over the long term is a continuous liquid membrane - applied and cured before any tile is set
  • Inspected before tile installation: Waterproofing membrane installation verified by our project manager before any tile work begins - no shortcuts taken at this stage
  • Every shower, every project: No exceptions based on budget tier or project scope - every wet area we build receives the same waterproofing standard

The consequences of inadequate waterproofing - mould, structural damage, and tile failure - make this the single most important non-negotiable quality requirement in bathroom renovation.
General Commercial Liability Insurance and WSIB Compliance
At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, our General Commercial Liability insurance and WSIB compliance are not marketing claims, they are verifiable credentials that protect your property and eliminate your liability exposure throughout every kitchen and bathroom renovation we complete.

  • General Commercial Liability insurance: Full coverage protecting your property from damage or injury liability during our work, request our certificate and confirm coverage directly with the insurer before signing anything
  • WSIB compliance: All workers on your property are covered for workplace injury, your liability exposure is zero. Verify our WSIB account standing directly through the WSIB website using our business name
  • Why this matters: A contractor without GCL insurance leaves you personally liable for property damage during construction. A contractor without WSIB compliance leaves you potentially liable for injury claims from workers on your property
  • Verification is responsible due diligence: We invite every prospective client to verify both credentials independently before making their decision, we provide documentation without hesitation

These protections are in place on every kitchen and bathroom renovation we complete, from a powder room update to a comprehensive primary ensuite transformation.
Written 1 to 2 Year Workmanship Warranty
At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, every completed kitchen and bathroom renovation is backed by a written 1 to 2 year workmanship warranty - not a verbal promise, and not a warranty from a company that may not be reachable when a problem surfaces in year two.

  • Written warranty on every project: Provided at handover alongside the complete permit close-out documentation package, covering every scope element from tile work and cabinetry to plumbing and electrical
  • What it covers: Defects in how the work was performed, tile that separates from the substrate, grout that fails from improper application, cabinetry that develops structural problems, plumbing leaks from our installations, electrical issues from our circuits
  • What it does not cover: Normal wear, cosmetic changes from daily use, or damage caused by homeowner actions
  • Backed by a real company: Licensed, GCL insured, and WSIB compliant, not a sole operator who disappears after project completion
  • Deficiencies corrected at no cost: We schedule a prompt site visit, assess the issue, and correct it at no cost within the warranty period - no negotiation, no delay
Transparent Itemized Pricing and Up to 5% Price Match
At Maple Leaf Kitchen & Bath, transparent itemized pricing and a 5% price match commitment are two of the most specific and verifiable ways we differentiate ourselves from typical GTA kitchen and bathroom contractors.

  • Every line item priced upfront: Cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, lighting, flooring, permits, and finishing - individually priced and documented before you commit to anything
  • No vague scope descriptions: We do not win projects with attractively low initial quotes that grow through change orders once demolition reveals conditions
  • No surprise additions: Unexpected conditions discovered during demolition are documented, communicated, and approved by you before any additional work proceeds, never added to the invoice without authorization
  • Up to 5% price match: We match or beat comparable competitor quotes by up to 5% when the comparison is genuine - same scope, same materials, same licensed electricians and plumbers with permits, same waterproofing standard, same warranty
  • What we do not match: Quotes that use unlicensed trades, skip permits, apply inadequate waterproofing, or carry no warranty - those are not equivalent services and the apparent savings are not real savings
  • Estimate validity: All estimates are valid for 30 days from the date of issue, reflecting current material pricing and availability

FAQs - Why choose us

Kitchen and bathroom renovation involves specific technical requirements, waterproofing systems in wet areas, drain slope management, range hood CFM calculations for open-concept spaces, exhaust ventilation sizing, tile substrate specifications, that general contractors encounter infrequently. A company built exclusively around kitchen and bathroom renovation has encountered and solved these challenges across hundreds of projects. That accumulated knowledge produces fewer errors, faster problem-solving, and consistently better outcomes.
Request documentation and verify it independently. We provide our liability insurance certificate on request, you can confirm coverage with the insurer directly. WSIB account standing can be verified through the WSIB website using our business name or number. ESA permit authority can be confirmed through the ESA. We invite this verification and provide documentation without hesitation.
Our 1 to 2 year workmanship warranty covers defects in how the work was performed, tile that was not properly adhered and separates from the substrate, grout that fails due to improper application, cabinetry installation that develops structural problems, plumbing work that leaks from our installations, electrical work that develops problems from our circuits. It does not cover normal wear, cosmetic changes from daily use, or damage caused by homeowner actions.
We recommend asking: "Are you licensed electricians and plumbers performing the work, or subcontracted trades?" "Are all required permits included in your estimate?" "What waterproofing system do you use in shower areas?" and "What warranty do you offer and what does it specifically cover?" The answers to these four questions will quickly differentiate between contractors who operate correctly and those who do not.
We document and communicate any unexpected discovery immediately after it is found. We explain what was found, why it matters, and what is required to address it. We present a cost-and-scope adjustment for your approval before any additional work proceeds. We never address unexpected conditions and add them to the invoice without your prior knowledge and authorization.
Yes. Condo renovations have specific requirements, condo board approval, building-specific working hour restrictions, elevator booking for material deliveries and debris removal, building protection requirements for corridors and elevators, noise management, and specific plumbing constraints. Our team is familiar with GTA condo renovation environments and manages all building requirements on your behalf.
We use plastic containment barriers between the work area and the rest of the home to manage dust migration. We collect debris daily and remove it from the property regularly. For kitchen renovations, we establish temporary kitchen access arrangements that minimize daily disruption. Our job site cleanliness is consistently praised in client feedback and is a standard we actively enforce.
A typical quote provides a single total number with a brief description. Our estimates itemize every element of the project, cabinetry, countertop, tile, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, lighting, flooring, permits, and finishing, with individual pricing for each line item. This level of detail lets you understand exactly what you are paying for, make informed trade-off decisions, and eliminates the scope ambiguity that generates cost surprises during construction.
Yes. We can match or beat comparable competitor quotes by up to 5%, when the comparison is genuine: same scope, same materials, same licensed electricians and plumbers with permits, same waterproofing standard, same warranty. We do not match quotes that use unlicensed trades, skip permits, apply inadequate waterproofing, or carry no warranty. Those are not equivalent services and the apparent savings are not real.
Before construction starts, we establish your communication preferences and schedule. During construction, our project manager provides updates at key milestones, demolition completion, rough-in inspection, cabinetry installation, tile completion, and whenever decisions need to be made. We respond to messages promptly and are available to answer questions throughout. You always know where your project stands and what is coming next.
