Bathroom Renovation
Toronto bathrooms suffer the same three issues — old plaster moisture, undersized 60-amp panels, and waterproofing shortcuts hidden under tile. We rebuild bathrooms to current code, with full waterproofing membranes and ventilation that actually works.
What a CNB bathroom renovation includes
- Schluter Kerdi or RedGard waterproofing on all wet walls and shower floor — not just behind tile, but membrane-bonded with sealed seams.
- Ventilation sized to room volume (Panasonic WhisperGreen, 80–110 CFM) ducted through roof or sidewall, not into the attic.
- Electrical upgraded to current code — AFCI/GFCI protection, dedicated 20-amp circuits for heating mats and vanity outlets.
- Heated floors as standard for ensuite + main bath — Schluter DITRA-HEAT or NuHeat with programmable thermostat.
- Real fixtures — Kohler, Toto, Riobel, Grohe. No off-brand plumbing. Specs sent with the quote.
How long bathroom projects take
What separates ensuite from main-bath scope
Ensuites usually require structural review for new fixture placement (especially toilet relocation) — we quote underfloor reroute separately. Main baths over kitchens require additional acoustic treatment we include by default.

FAQ
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We file with the City of Toronto, schedule inspections, provide all documentation for closing or insurance. Permits typically take 6-12 weeks to issue in Toronto 2026.
What if my basement has a low ceiling?
Toronto Bylaw 569-2013 + OBC 2024 require 1.95m minimum (1.9m under beams) for habitable basement. Below that — we recommend underpinning (+$30-80K) or bench footing.
How long is the typical project?
Basement: 8-12 weeks build. Bathroom: 2-4 weeks. Decking: 1-2 weeks. Demolition: 1-3 weeks. Permit timeline adds 6-12 weeks before build can start.
Are you insured?
Yes. WSIB clearance, $2M liability coverage, licensed Toronto contractor. 10-year structural warranty on all basements.
