Whole-home or whole-floor renovations with one contractor from demolition to the last piece of trim. Dustin plans the sequence, coordinates the trades and handles the finish carpentry.
A full interior renovation is a planned rebuild of several rooms, or a whole floor, done as one coordinated project instead of a string of separate jobs.
Kitchen, bathroom, flooring, trim and basement work are each a trade in their own right. When they happen at the same time, the order matters: rough plumbing and electrical before drywall, flooring before baseboard, cabinets before backsplash tile. Running it as one project means one schedule, one point of contact and one finish standard across every room.
The order protects the finishes and keeps the trades from tripping over each other.
Dustin visits, measures and listens. You get an honest read on what is possible in the house you have and what each part of the wish list involves.
A written scope lists every room and every task, so the price reflects the work you actually want. Allowances for finishes are set with you, not assumed.
Cabinets, tile, flooring, fixtures and paint are chosen and ordered before the first wall comes down. Lead times are the main reason renovations stall, so this step is not skipped.
Protect the areas staying in use, strip what is leaving, then frame, run plumbing and electrical, and pass inspections before anything is closed in.
Drywall, flooring and tile go in, then cabinets, trim, doors and millwork. Paint and fixtures come last so nothing gets damaged.
A final walk together, a punch list, and the fix for every item on it before the job is called done.
How much to do at once, and whether the floor plan changes. Each has a real trade-off.
Renovate one area at a time while you live in the house. Less disruption in any given week, and the budget spreads out.
Everything is planned and built in one continuous project, often while you stay elsewhere or live in a sealed-off part of the home.
New surfaces, cabinets, trim and fixtures in the rooms as they are.
Open the kitchen to the living room, enlarge a bathroom, add a mudroom or pantry.
No two full renovations cost the same. These are the factors that set the number.
Each room adds its own demolition, rough-in and finish stages. A main floor with a kitchen and two bathrooms involves every trade at least once.
Removing a load-bearing wall means an engineer's drawing, a beam and posts, and a permit. Non-structural walls are far simpler.
Keeping sinks, toilets and the panel where they are costs less than relocating them. Older homes may also need wiring or panel upgrades to pass inspection.
Cabinet construction, countertop material, tile size and flooring type swing the budget more than anything else once the layout is set.
Water damage, old wiring, out-of-level floors and missing insulation only show up after demolition. A contingency covers them.
Dust protection, temporary kitchens and working around a family's schedule add time to each stage.
We do not quote from photos or publish price lists. Every full interior renovation is priced after a site visit, with a written scope you can compare line by line.
A few of the rooms we have rebuilt, inside and out.
Full Interior Renovations from our home base in Woodstock, Ontario to Kitchener, Guelph and Cambridge, with London and Brantford also covered.
Kitchener has a deep stock of postwar bungalows and century homes in its central neighbourhoods, many with closed-off kitchens and a single small bathroom. Full renovations there often start with the floor plan.
Interior renovations in KitchenerGuelph's older stone and brick homes reward careful work: plaster walls, deep window wells and original trim profiles that are worth matching rather than replacing.
Interior renovations in GuelphIn Galt, Preston and Hespeler, many homes are older brick two-storeys with additions from different decades. A single renovation can finally bring the levels, floors and trim into one standard.
Interior renovations in CambridgeStraight answers to the questions homeowners ask before a full interior renovation project.
Cosmetic work such as flooring, paint, cabinets and trim does not need a permit. Removing or altering walls, moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing the use of a room does. We tell you at the estimate stage which parts of your scope need a permit and build the permit and inspection steps into the schedule.
Often yes, if at least one bathroom and a basic cooking setup stay usable. We seal off work areas with dust barriers and plan the order of rooms around that. For a whole-floor gut, staying elsewhere for part of the project is usually easier on everyone.
All at once costs less overall and gives you matching finishes. One room at a time is easier to budget and live through. The options section above lists the trade-offs of each.
Licensed plumbers and licensed electrical contractors do that work, as Ontario requires. Dustin coordinates them and the finish carpentry so the trades arrive in the right order.
The scope is written room by room and task by task, with finish allowances stated. Anything not in the scope is not in the price, which makes it easy to compare and easy to adjust before work starts.
Trimpro is based in Woodstock, Ontario and takes on full interior renovations in Kitchener, Guelph, Cambridge, London and Brantford.
Tell Dustin what you want to change and he will walk the house with you, then put a written scope and estimate in your hands. No pressure.
