Important Topics On Home Renovations

How Much Does It Cost to

Renovate A House?


The complete cost to renovate a home can vary greatly depending on many factors. The size of the house, the type of renovations you wish to make, the quality of materials you choose, and which types of appliances you select can all impact the overall cost of your renovation. Depending on each of these factors, your renovation may cost anywhere between $10,000 to $200, 000, with the average range being somewhere between $17,000 - $90,000. Other things to consider when determining the cost of your renovation include the labor rates of your Contractors in Barrie, as well as any problems that you may encounter along the way. Most home renovation companies will suggest that you set aside at least 20% of your budget just in case you encounter any difficulties that need to be repaired on route to your new renovations. What rooms you intend to renovate can also play a large role in the cost of your renovations. Kitchen renovations Barrie and Bathroom renovations Barrie usually cost the most, while basements, living rooms, and bedrooms are generally on the lower end of the cost spectrum. On average, you should expect your home renovations to work out to anywhere between $15-$60 per square foot. Of course, this estimate can again vary depending on a variety of factors. The best way to estimate the cost of your home renovation is to get an actual estimate from a company that you trust. At Contractors in Barrie, we would be happy to send one of our specialists out to take a look at your home renovation needs. All of our consultations are free, and our estimates are no-commitment, no-hassle.

We work with your budget to provide the highest quality products possible.

What Comes First In a Home Renovation?

We’ve all seen renovations being completed on the HGTV network - and they only take a day! Unfortunately, this is made for TV programming and isn’t real life. Real home renovations take weeks, or even months to complete depending on the extent of the renovation. And because renovations are so intense and time consuming, planning is of utmost importance. So, with any good renovation company, a plan is what will come first. At Contractors in Barrie, we will have one of our specialists sit down with you one on one to complete a total plan for your home renovation. Your plan will include all the details of your renovation, as well as how long each step of the process will take and when it is expected to be completed. While each renovation company will differ on where exactly to begin, the general consensus would be to start with the larger projects first. Larger projects like roof replacement or foundation repair can have a large impact on smaller projects, so it’s always recommended to get them out of the way first. For this reason, fixing any structural components of your home will usually be the first step. This may include projects such as:

  1. Structural and Foundational Repairs
  2. Roof Repairs & Roof Replacement
  3. Window and Siding Replacement
  4. Structural Carpentry Repairs or Additions
  5. Demolition - Residential or Commercial
  6. Excavation
  7. Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC Installations
  8. Insulation and Drywall
  9. Flooring Installation
  10. Painting And Finishing

Once you have the major renovations done, then you can start on the mid-size renovations. This is the best time to work on the details of your Bathroom renovations Barrie, Kitchen renovations Barrie, and Basement renovations Barrie. It is the time where you can fit in all of your cabinet installations, tubs and showers, sinks, lighting, and so on and so forth. Finally, once all of these renovations are complete, you can move onto the fun stuff – adding in your furniture and decorations!

Depending on whether you want to do your renovations all at once or over time, you may also want to organize your to-do list by urgency. In this case, you would do all of the urgent renovations first, and leave the less urgent ones for later down the line.

Of course, our Contractors in Barrie can help you to plan out your renovation project from start to finish. Whether you want to do a complete renovation all at once, or spread it out over a few years, our team can help you plan your project so you know exactly what to expect each step of the way.


Important Topics About Home Renovations


  • Which renovations have the highest return on investment?

    Kitchen renovations Barrie, Bathroom renovations Barrie, Basement renovations Barrie – they’re all great investments for our home, but which ones actually provide the biggest returns?


    Well, as it turns out, one of the smallest renovation projects is actually one of the projects that provides the biggest return – painting. Painting is such a simple project that most people would be shocked to learn that it has one of the biggest ROIs.


    But let’s think about it. How many of you would buy a home that wasn’t painted well? A good paint job can make all the difference when selling your home and can transform an average home into a beautiful one. And it costs next to nothing to do with minimal effort.


    Professional Contractors in Barrie estimate that ROI for a good paint job can be up to 60 percent! So if you’re looking to cut corners, don’t do it with your paint!


    Your roof is another project that will offer a great return on your investment. It doesn’t matter how amazing the kitchen, bathroom renovations Barrie, or interior of your home is – if your roof is leaking, buyers won’t look beyond that. Of course, replacing your roof can be a large investment, so we don’t recommend that you replace a roof that is still in good shape. But if your roof is ageing and needs a facelift, don’t fret over it too much – a new roof can offer over 109% return on investment.


    Of all the room renovations, the kitchen is where you will see the largest ROI. Kitchens are usually one of the main selling points of a home, and are estimated to offer a 75-100% return on investment.

  • How to budget for home renovation

    As we mentioned before, home renovations can cost anywhere between $10, 000 – $200, 000 – that’s not a cheap project. Unfortunately, it’s not difficult to get wrapped up in the excitement of a project, and before you know it, you’ve spent way more than you can afford.  For this reason, anytime you are thinking of renovating your home, creating a realistic budget is of utmost importance.

  • How much should you spend on your renovation?

    Our Contractors in Barrie recommend that you don’t spend any more than 10-15% of your home’s value on any particular room. For example, let’s say your home is worth $500, 000. This means that you shouldn’t spend more than $50, 000 – $75, 000 on your kitchen renovations Barrie, nor should you spend more than $50, 000 – $75 000 on your bathroom renovations Barrie, your basement renovations Barrie, your dining room renovations, and so on and so forth. Spending any more than this will not add to the proportional value of your home.


    Of course, the value of your home isn’t the only factor you should consider when setting a budget. Your own personal budget will matter too. How much can you comfortably afford to spend on your renovations? How much can you get financing for? Always remember that you will need to set aside 10-20% of your available budget for unexpected expenses, so be sure that you exclude this percentage from your final budget.


    Once you’ve determined how much you can afford, it’s time to prioritize your tasks and divide up that budget. Start by creating a spreadsheet of all the renovations you wish to complete. Then, determine the estimated cost for each. If you need help, one of our specialists at Contractors in Barrie can sit down with you to break down how much you should set aside for each designated task.


    From there, you’ll need to amend your project to meet your budget. If your project is over cost, you might want to start by prioritising tasks. Which tasks need to be done now? Maybe your bathroom renovations Barrie can wait until later? If you’ve removed some tasks but are still over budget, there are also other ways that you can cut costs. You can ask your contractor about different products that might be cheaper, or for any tips they have to help you save some money.


    Remember, home renovations should be exciting, not stressful. At Contractors in Barrie, we will work with you to create a project that you love on a budget you can afford.

  • What is the difference between a renovation and remodel?

    In the world of contractors, there’s a lot of confusion between renovations and remodels – so we’re here to set it aside. Though some people use the two words interchangeably, there’s actually a very distinct difference between the two.


    Renovating refers to the process of “reviving” something or restoring it to a previous state. Remodeling, on the other hand, refers to the process of “remaking” it.


    So when you “remodel” your kitchen, you are completely transforming it. This might mean you are changing the structure of the room, the layout of the room, and even the style of the room. Removing a wall to create a larger kitchen, installing new cabinets and islands, replacing the floors – these are all remodeling projects.


    When you “renovate” your kitchen, you are reviving it. Repainting your walls, refacing your cabinets, installing new lighting – anytime you tweak your already existing designs, this is a renovation.


    Generally speaking, remodeling will almost always cost more than renovating. This is because rather than making surface level changes, you’re actually changing the structure and layout of your room. This requires more materials, more man hours, and more equipment and expenses.


    Of course, some projects require both remodeling and renovating. You might choose to remodel your kitchen by removing a wall to make it bigger, but choose to keep your original cabinets and just reface them. Here at Contractors in Barrie, we do both.

Is It Better to Tear Down and Rebuild a House?


In most cases, home renovations are significantly cheaper than building a new home. According to The Spruce, remodels are up to 20% cheaper than re-building or building new. So if cost is your main concern, renovations and remodels are typically your best bet.
 
With that being said, there are a lot of things to consider when choosing to build new or renovate and remodel. Most people don’t base their decision purely on cost. Aside from focusing on the financial aspect of renovating, you should also consider renovating your current home if:

●     You are emotionally attached to your home or the neighborhood in which you live

●     The market value in your area is rising and you may wish to sell your home later

●     Your home has character that you won’t find in a new build

●     You are on a time constraint (renovating typically takes less time than a new build)


On the other hand, you might want to consider building a new home if:

●     Money is not a concern

●     You don’t have approval from proper authorities to make the changes on your existing home that you would like to make

●     Your current home is structurally unsound

●     You don’t want to deal with the stress of kitchen renovations Barrie, Bathroom renovations Barrie, or renovations in general

How Long Does It Take To Renovate A House?


Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits all answer to this question. The length of time that it takes to renovate a house depends on numerous factors including the size of the house, what type of renovations you need, and what challenges you may run into along the way. If you’re just looking for kitchen renovations Barrie or Bathroom renovations Barrie, you’re probably looking at a few months of construction. If we’re talking about a complete home renovation from top to bottom, you could be looking at anywhere from 9-12 months of construction or more.

1-3 Months: The Architectural Design Phase

Any time you make additions or structural changes to your home, it’s important to have an architect look at your project to ensure that it is structurally sound. From the time an architect meets with you for a consultation to the time they take to hand over a completed design can take anywhere from 1-3 months. This greatly depends on the scope of the project, as well as the experience and workload of the architect.

1 Month: Approvals & Permits

Approvals and permits are something we often don’t think about when starting a renovation project, but we can’t start or complete our project without them. Receiving all approvals and permits from the proper authorities can take up to one month.

2-3 Weeks: The Bidding Phase

This is the phase during which you are searching for the right contractor for the job. Never accept the first contractor who places a bid on your project. Compare bids from a few different contractors in Barrie before deciding who is the right fit for you. Give yourself a good 2-3 weeks to take your time and make a decision.

1 Month - 1 Year: Construction Phase

The construction phase of your project can vary greatly depending on the extent of your renovations.


Major renovations like structural or foundational repair, second story additions, or house lifts can take anywhere from 6 months to over a year to complete.
 
Moderate projects like kitchen renovations Barrie, bathroom renovations barrie, or adding on a garage can take up to 6 months.

 
And finally, smaller projects like painting, installing new countertops, and the addition of new appliances can take anywhere from a single weekend up to 3 months.

You can get a more detailed estimate of your project length and construction time during a free consultation with Contractors in Barrie. Always remember that these are estimates, and any unexpected complications could result in a longer construction period. 

Important Topics On Bathroom Renovations

How Much Do Bathroom Renovations Cost?

A bathroom is one of the main selling points of a home. Your bathroom is not only where you go throughout the day to use the facilities but is also where you will spend your time getting ready in the morning or relaxing in the tub at night. So, it only makes sense that we design a bathroom that we love. Plus, your bathroom renovations Barrie can provide up to 65% return on investment if you ever decide to sell your home. 


 
So, what does it cost to renovate a bathroom with Contractors in Barrie? It really depends on numerous factors including the extent of the renovation to be done, the materials you choose, and the size of your bathroom. If you’re looking to renovate your entire bathroom with a new sink, shower, bathtub, vanity, toilet, lighting, and so on and so forth, you’re looking at anywhere between $6, 000 - $20 000. This includes the cost of design, materials, and labor.


Here is the average cost of some common bathroom renovation Barrie projects:

●      New flooring renovations Barrie - $800 - $3000

●      New bathtub/shower - $500 - $1000

●      New toilet - $100 - $300

●      New sink - $100 - $200

●      New vanity - $500 - $1000

●      Layout changes (removing or adding walls, plumbing, etc) - $3000 - $8 000


Of course, these are just estimates and again, prices can vary greatly depending on the materials you choose and the size of your bathroom. Once you have all of the major installations, you must also consider the price of things like new fixtures and new lighting.

●      Flooring; 2-3 days

●      Cabinetry: 1 day

●      Hook-ups and Fixtures: 2-3 days

Again, how long each of these will actually take varies from project to project, and contractor to contractor. All in all, if you’re planning on completely remodeling your entire bathroom, you should set aside about 25 days of construction to be safe. Your Contractors in Barrie will be able to give you a better idea as to the exact timeline of your project.

How long do bathrooms last?


The average bathroom starts to go out of date after around 10 years. With that being said, most people are ready to see a change after 4-5 years as colors, styles, and designs start to go out of date. At this point in time, bathroom renovations Barrie can be small. With a new paint job, some new tile, and a few fixture replacements, your bathroom should be revived and ready for another 4-5 years of life.

The good news is that more major renovations can wait a little longer. Things like showers, tubs, and sinks generally have 10-15 years of life in them before you start seeing major discoloration or other issues.
 
So when should you remodel your bathroom with Contractors in Barrie?

  • Remodel your bathroom if your fixtures stop working. If one goes, they’re probably all going to go shortly. Plus, one new fixture will look out of place. It’s best to update them all and give your bathroom a revamp!
  • Remodel your bathroom if you are feeling cramped. You spend a lot of time in your bathroom, so you need to be comfortable there. If you’re starting to feel cramped, you may want to consider bathroom renovations Barrie.
  • Remodel your bathroom if there is damage. Unfortunately, our bathrooms are one of the most common places in the house to see damage. If you start seeing water damage, leaks, or experience strange smells or humidity levels, it may be time to consider a remodel.
  • Remodel your bathroom if you need more space. There are lots of ways that you can add more storage space to your bathroom. Ask one of our Contractors in Barrie about creative ways that you can give yourself more of it.
  • Remodel your bathroom if you are tired of looking at it. If you don’t feel happy and comfortable in your bathroom, it's time for a refresh!
  • Why do we need permits?

    The need for permits is listed under the Building Code Act, and must be followed by law in Ontario. Building codes apply anytime there is any type of construction, demolition, renovation, or change for use of a building in Barrie. These codes are strictly enforced to ensure that all buildings meet a minimum set of standards designed to keep residents or guests in a building safe. All renovation work by Contractors in Barrie must meet code requirements, along with zoning requirements and local by-laws. So as long as you are not making any structural changes, you don’t need permits. But the second you change anything structural in your home, permits must be obtained.  

  • What if my permit is not approved?

    If your permit is not approved, it’s probably for a good reason. In most cases, it’s because your construction or design poses some type of safety hazard to those entering the building. One of our licensed and experienced Contractors in Barrie will be able to help you understand why your permit was not approved, and design a construction project that will get approval.

  • What if I don't obtain a permit?

    Lots of people choose to go ahead and do bathroom renovations Barrie without the proper permits. This is not recommended. Not only are permits in place for your safety, but failing to obtain one could result in fines. If your municipality finds out that you have gone ahead with construction without permission, they are able to come into your home and do an inspection. If your project does not pass construction guidelines, you may be forced to remove your new structure or make significant changes at your expense. In most cases, the municipality will also impose a fine for failure to obtain a permit

  • How do you obtain a permit for bathroom renovations Barrie?

    In order to obtain permits, you must first fill out an application form as requested by your municipality. Once you have submitted your form, the municipality then has the right to request any type of supporting documents needed. You will also be required to submit at least 2 sets of construction drawings which can be done up by a professional architect or engineer. 

    Unfortunately, like anything else, once your permissions have been granted, you will also have to pay a permit fee. These fees may vary depending on municipality, as well as the work being completed.

  • Can you add a bathroom anywhere in the house?

    In most cases, yes. With the right amount of money, you can add bathroom renovations Barrie anywhere in your home. With that being said, you need to pay particular attention to plumbing and electrical. If it’s not set up properly in the area you would like to install your new bathroom, it can cost a lot to make the necessary changes. It’s best to find an area of your home that already has the plumbing and electricity readily available for construction. 

    It’s also important that you obtain the proper permits and permissions before adding a bathroom anywhere in your home. Different cities have different rules, so you’ll have to take a professional design in for approval before you begin your construction.

    Where are the most popular places to put a new bathroom?

    ● The hallway

    ● The closet

    ● The bedroom

    ● The basement

    ● The garage

    ● Under a staircase

    ● Laundry room

    Of course, many people prefer to expand their existing bathrooms as well. Whatever your decision, you can work with our knowledgeable construction team at Contractors in Barrie and we can help you build the bathroom of your dreams wherever you find fit!

    Kitchen renovations Barrie can have an imposition on your regular lifestyle.

Depending on the extent, it may even be recommended that you find alternative living arrangements. In order for you to be able to make appropriate plans, you must have a realistic timeline for your project.

    The average kitchen makeover in Barrie will take between 6-8 weeks. Larger or more intricate projects can take longer, sometimes up to 5 months or more. Of course, this depends on multiple factors, and your renovation may take less or more time. Factors that influence the timeline of your kitchen remodelling project can include the extent of renovations required, the size of your kitchen, the materials you choose, and who is hired to do the job. If you opt to hire Contractors in Barrie for the job, you can expect a much shorter timeline than if you choose to do it yourself.

    Here is a general outline of what to expect if you hire contractors to help you with your kitchen renovations Barrie:

    • This phase includes the planning of your kitchen, including the initial consultation, and selection of materials, flooring, appliances, and other kitchen staples
    • Pre-construction phase: 4 weeks
    • During this phase you will have your construction design drawn up, order your materials, and obtain any necessary permits and permissions.
    • Construction phase: 6 - 10 weeks
