10 RENOVATION SECRETS OF A SUCCESSFUL BATHROOM OR KITCHEN RENOVATION
There is nothing on this website more valuable to you than the tips listed below for peace of mind renovation.
- Start with a realistic budget for your project and discuss it with your renovation expert. They, more than anyone else, will know if your budget will meet your expectations.
- Hire a renovation specialist. Your bathroom or kitchen is one of the most complex rooms in the house. You want to hire someone who specializes exclusively in bathrooms and/or kitchens and is familiar with all their challenges.
- Your renovation specialist should have a showroom, supply the product, and handle the actual work. This does not mean purchasing products at a retail store and then having them refer you to some of their contractor clients to do the job. You do not want to get stuck in the middle – not a good position for you.
- Make sure your renovator has Workers’ Compensation and Liability Insurance. Workman’s Comp is the single most significant cost in this industry, and by law, everyone must have it. Everyone will tell you that they have it, but the hard truth is that most do not. Ask to see their insurance policy and their clearance certificate. You can also call the WSIB yourself to confirm whether your renovator is, in fact, covered and current. They’re more than happy to hear from you.
We are often asked, “What is the most important part of the bathroom or kitchen renovation process, and where do I start?”

RENOVATION SECRETS: PREVENTING BATHROOM & KITCHEN DISASTERS
- Not hiring the right company/person for the project
- Not allowing the proper time frame required to complete the project to meet your expectations
- Not having a realistic budget for your project and then hiring a company or person to do it for that budget.
- Buying your product at a big box store or a retail plumbing store that doesn’t actually do the work, and then hiring someone else to do it.
- Do not make cash deals to save on HST – you have no paperwork, no warranty, and no recourse.
- Be wary if someone can start your project right away. Real pros are busy and in great demand. Booking your project and their time may take 8–12 weeks.
