Burlington Home Renovations, Kitchens & Basement Finishing

Home Renovation Toronto is a licensed and insured general contractor and design-build firm that has delivered residential home renovation in Burlington, Ontario since 1996, serving Halton Region as part of its Greater Toronto Area (GTA) coverage. Our crews handle kitchen renovations, bathroom and ensuite remodels, basement finishing, home additions, and whole-home remodeling, with framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades run by one project manager and every building permit pulled through the City of Burlington Building Services department.

At 2026 pricing, full home renovations start at $150 to $250 per square foot for basic updates, and complex gut jobs that replace plumbing, electrical, and HVAC can exceed $500 per square foot. Each Burlington project is priced as one fixed quotation with zero allowances after a detailed pre-construction investigation. Many homes here are 1960s to 1980s bungalows, backsplits, and two-storey detached houses with closed-off kitchens and unfinished basements, which we turn into open-concept main floors with custom cabinetry and quartz countertops, plus finished lower levels.

Searching for a design-build renovator near you in Halton Region? From lakeside homes in Aldershot and Roseland to the 1970s and 1980s subdivisions of Brant Hills, Tyandaga, and Headon Forest, newer family homes in Millcroft, Orchard, and Alton Village, and infill projects in Downtown Burlington, our crews reach every site via the QEW, Highway 403, and Highway 407.

The Renovation Trap

Outgrown Your 1970s Burlington Layout?

These are the problems most homeowners face. Our fixed-price design-build model is built to solve them.

Budget Blowouts

Most renovations creep 30% over budget through vague "allowances". We replace estimates with a firm, fixed-price contract, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Local FAQ

Home Renovation in Burlington: Costs, Permits & Timing

How much does it cost to renovate a 2,000 sq ft house in Burlington? expand_more
At 2026 rates, basic updates run $150 to $250 per square foot, so a 2,000 sq ft Burlington house typically costs about $300,000 to $500,000 to renovate. Gut renovations that replace plumbing, electrical, and HVAC can exceed $500 per square foot. Whole-home modernizations of 1960s to 1990s houses often land between $270,000 and $480,000+, and we lock one fixed price after pre-construction planning, with no allowances or mid-project markups.
Is $100,000 enough to renovate a house in Burlington? expand_more
For most Burlington homes, $100,000 covers one or two focused projects, such as a kitchen renovation, a bathroom remodel, or a finished basement, rather than the whole house. At $150 to $250 per square foot for basic updates, that budget renovates roughly 400 to 650 sq ft. During pre-construction planning we help you rank priorities, then lock the scope you choose into a fixed-price contract.
Do I need a permit to renovate a house in Burlington? expand_more
Structural changes, additions, new plumbing, and basement second units need a building permit from the City of Burlington Building Services department, and the work must meet the Ontario Building Code. Additions that exceed zoning limits may also need a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment. Cosmetic updates such as new cabinets, countertops, or flooring usually do not need a permit. We prepare the drawings, submit the application, and book every inspection, including ESA electrical sign-off.
What are the red flags when hiring a renovation contractor in Burlington? expand_more
Watch for quotes built on "allowances" that leave finishes unpriced, contractors who ask you to pull the permit yourself, no written contract or proof of insurance, and no named project manager. These are the usual causes of budget blowouts and stalled jobs. Home Renovation Toronto is a licensed and insured general contractor that works only on fixed-price quotations with zero allowances, handles every City of Burlington permit, and responds to warranty claims within 2 business days.
Can you finish a basement in Headon Forest or Millcroft? expand_more
Yes. Basement finishing is one of our most requested projects in Burlington, especially in the unfinished lower levels of 1980s and 1990s homes in Headon Forest, Millcroft, and Brant Hills. We handle waterproofing, insulation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and all finishes to create rec rooms, home offices, guest suites, or in-law suites on a fixed price.
Which Burlington neighbourhoods do you serve, and how soon can you start? expand_more
We renovate homes across Burlington, including Aldershot, Roseland, Downtown Burlington, Brant Hills, Tyandaga, Headon Forest, Millcroft, Orchard, Alton Village, and Mount Pleasant. Free consultations are scheduled within one week of your call to (647) 699-8006, and projects are booked 3 to 4 months in advance so a dedicated crew is reserved for the full build.
