What's Included

## What Our Luxury Renovation Service Covers

Luxury is in the details buyers notice and the infrastructure they never see. We pair an ARIDO-affiliated design lead with Red Seal finish carpenters to deliver the visible part: book-matched Calacatta marble, Taj Mahal quartzite and Dekton slabs, rift-cut white oak floors finished in Bona Traffic HD or Rubio Monocoat, custom millwork, concealed pivot doors, Rohl fixtures and Ann Sacks tile. Then we build the invisible part properly: panel capacity for Wolf ranges, Sub-Zero columns, Miele steam ovens and Thermador induction, gas lines sized for pro burners, make-up air for large hoods, and lighting control. Our Bayview Hill client's kitchen and main floor came in at $520K, and the panel upgrade it needed was caught in design and written into the contract, so it never became a change order. Luxury projects run in Yorkville condos, Rosedale and Forest Hill homes, Richmond Hill and Oakville. Luxury scopes typically run $400K-$1.2M+ over 12-24 weeks.

## What Is a Luxury Home Renovation?

Luxury is in the details buyers notice and the infrastructure they never see. For our high-end 

home renovations in Toronto

[/ →](/)

, Whole House Renovation pairs an ARIDO-affiliated design lead with Red Seal finish carpenters to install Calacatta marble, Taj Mahal quartzite, rift-cut white oak finished in Bona Traffic HD or Rubio Monocoat, and Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele and Thermador packages, with the panel capacity, gas sizing and make-up air they need. Luxury scopes typically run $400K-$1.2M+.

## Luxury Materials We Work With

| Category | What we install | Why clients choose it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Stone | Calacatta marble, Taj Mahal quartzite, Dekton | Natural veining, durability, heat resistance |
| Wood | Rift-cut white oak, herringbone oak | Straight, calm grain; timeless |
| Floor finish | Bona Traffic HD, Rubio Monocoat | Durability or a natural matte look |
| Appliances | Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, Thermador | Performance and fully integrated panels |
| Fixtures + tile | Rohl, Ann Sacks | Hand-finished fixtures, artisan tile |
| Millwork | Custom cabinetry, concealed pivot doors, fluted panels | Built for the room, not from a catalogue |

## Types of Luxury Renovations

### Luxury kitchen and main floor

The most common luxury project: a kitchen with a Calacatta or quartzite island, pro appliances, a scullery or coffee bar, and the living and dining spaces around it. See our 

kitchen renovation

[/kitchen-renovation/ →](/kitchen-renovation/)

 page for kitchen-only scopes.

### Primary suite

Book-matched slab walls, a freestanding stone tub, heated floors, a dressing room in rift oak and lighting on scenes.

### Whole-home luxury

Every floor, often combined with structural changes or a 

heritage restoration

[/heritage-restoration/ →](/heritage-restoration/)

 in Rosedale, Forest Hill or the Annex.

### Luxury condo

Yorkville and King West suites where board approvals, elevators and work hours shape the schedule. Our Yorkville condo kitchen and bath was finished on the exact day promised.

## The Infrastructure Behind the Finishes

| System | Typical luxury requirement |
| --- | --- |
| Electrical | 200-amp service or more, dedicated circuits for each major appliance, lighting control |
| Gas | Line sized for a 48 or 60-inch pro range and any outdoor kitchen |
| Ventilation | Hood sized to the cooktop, make-up air where required |
| Structure | Steel or LVL beams for wide openings and heavy stone islands |
| Plumbing | Pot filler, steam shower, multiple heads with thermostatic control |

We check every one of these during design and price the work into the contract. On our Bayview Hill project, a panel upgrade the clients did not know they needed was caught in design, so it never became a change order.

## How Much Does a Luxury Renovation Cost in Toronto?

| Luxury scope | Typical range |
| --- | --- |
| Luxury kitchen + main floor | $400K-$700K |
| Whole-home luxury | $700K-$1.2M+ |
| Luxury condo suite | From $250K |

## When Does Luxury Make Sense?

Luxury finishes pay back in two ways: daily enjoyment and resale in neighbourhoods where buyers expect them, like Rosedale, Forest Hill, Bayview Hill in 

Richmond Hill

[/service-areas/richmond-hill/ →](/service-areas/richmond-hill/)

 and Old Oakville. If you plan to stay a long time, choose finishes you love. If you plan to sell, match the neighbourhood rather than exceed it.

The Industry Reality

## Why Luxury Renovations Still Go Over Budget

Budget killer 1

### Infrastructure discovered late

A Wolf range, two Sub-Zero columns and a steam oven can overload a 100 or 125-amp panel. Big hoods need make-up air. Finding that after rough-in is expensive.

Budget killer 2

### Slab and lead-time surprises

Book-matched Calacatta and custom millwork have long lead times. Selections made late push the whole schedule.

Budget killer 3

### Finish carpentry left to chance

Luxury shows in reveals, joints and alignment. Generalist crews rush it; the result looks expensive from the doorway and wrong up close.

### The Whole House Renovation Fix

Electrical load, gas sizing and venting checked in design and priced into the contract. Slabs and millwork selected and ordered early. ARIDO-affiliated design and Red Seal finish carpenters on every luxury job.

ARIDO-affiliated design keeps the vision and the budget aligned from the first meeting.

Panel, gas and make-up air planned for Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele and Thermador before rough-in.

How It Works

## How Does Our Luxury Renovation Process Work?

Design-build means one team from first visit to final walkthrough. Approval time is planned up front, and you get a weekly call from your project manager.

1.  1
    
    ### Consultation + site visit
    
    We walk the home, review your references and check electrical, gas and structure for the scope you want.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Written scope + fixed price
    
    Luxury allowances written at real numbers for stone, appliances and millwork.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Design + slab selection
    
    Yasmin O. leads design; we visit stone yards together and reserve slabs early.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Permits + ordering
    
    Permits filed while long-lead items are ordered, so construction is not waiting on them.
    
5.  5
    
    ### Build + finish carpentry
    
    Structure, systems, stone, millwork and lighting, with weekly calls and site walks.
    
6.  6
    
    ### Detailing + walkthrough
    
    Final alignment, finish touch-ups, deficiency walkthrough and written warranty.
    

Typical construction time: 12-24 weeks. Tier 2+ projects pay in six draws tied to these milestones, with no large upfront deposit.

Client Reviews

## What Clients Say About Our Luxury Work

Names are shown as initials and neighbourhood to protect client privacy.

> "We wanted a kitchen and main floor that felt like a hotel suite, not a builder upgrade. Calacatta on the island, Taj Mahal quartzite in the bar, Miele and Thermador appliances, and a panel upgrade we did not know we needed until they checked the load. They caught it in design, priced it in the contract and it never became a change order. The finish carpentry is the best in the house."

KO K.O., Bayview Hill Richmond Hill · $520K · T3

> "Status cert, strata approval and building management. These guys handled every form. Finish date hit to the day."

JK J.K., Yorkville Toronto · $128K · T2

> "Delivered in 14 weeks, zero change orders. Design-build made the kitchen island decision in one meeting. Heritage consultant network paid for itself twice over."

Got Questions?

## Luxury Renovation FAQs

### How much does a luxury renovation cost in Toronto?

Luxury scopes typically run $400K-$1.2M+. A luxury kitchen and main floor usually lands at $400K-$700K, and whole-home luxury renovations run $700K-$1.2M+. Our Bayview Hill kitchen and main floor came in at $520K.

### What makes a renovation luxury rather than high-end?

Material quality is part of it: Calacatta marble, quartzite, rift white oak, pro appliances. The bigger part is execution: custom millwork, precise reveals, integrated lighting and the infrastructure that makes it all work. That is why we pair a design lead with Red Seal finish carpenters.

### Will my electrical service handle a pro appliance package?

We check load during design and price any upgrade into the contract. A Wolf range, Sub-Zero columns and a steam oven can push an older service past its limit.

### Calacatta marble or quartzite?

Calacatta is the classic luxury look but etches with acids and needs care. Taj Mahal quartzite has a similar warmth and holds up better in a busy kitchen. Many clients use Calacatta on an island or in a bath and quartzite where they cook.

### How long does a luxury renovation take?

12-24 weeks of construction depending on scope, plus design time. Slabs and custom millwork are ordered during permitting so they are ready when the house is.

### Do you renovate luxury condos in Yorkville?

Yes. Our Yorkville condo kitchen and bath gut was delivered on the exact date promised. Luxury condo work adds board approvals, elevator bookings and strict work hours, which we handle.

### Which floor finish is best for rift white oak?

Bona Traffic HD is a durable waterborne finish for busy homes. Rubio Monocoat is a hardwax oil that gives a matte, natural look and is easy to spot-repair. We show both on samples of your actual floor.
