Frequently asked questions
How long does a Etobicoke kitchen remodel take?
Typical timeline: 6–10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Permit-heavy jobs in Etobicoke add 2–3 weeks.
Do I need a permit in Toronto County?
Yes - any plumbing, gas, or electrical change triggers a Toronto County permit. Cosmetic refreshes (paint + cabinet fronts) are usually exempt.
Can I live in my house during the remodel?
Most Etobicoke homeowners do. We'll set up a temp kitchen and seal off the work zone with plastic + air scrubbers.
What's included in the quote?
Demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint, cabinets, counters, backsplash, appliances install, permits, and cleanup.
Cabinets vs. refacing - which is right for me?
Refacing saves 40–60% if your boxes are solid. Full custom makes sense if you're changing the layout. Your matched pros will walk you through both.
Does my Greater Toronto Area project need an ESA electrical permit?
In Ontario, any new electrical work, panel upgrades, or alterations require an ESA permit and inspection. Every Greater Toronto Area electrician we match is a Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) and files the ESA notification.
