Question 1

What is the most expensive thing when renovating a house?

Accepted Answer

We cannot say for sure what the most expensive thing is when renovating a house. However, the cost of a renovation will vary depending on the size and scope of the project, as well as the materials and finishes that are chosen. Running Renos offers free in-home consultations, so you can contact them to get an estimate for your specific renovation project. Here are some of the factors that can affect the cost of a renovation:

The size of the project: Larger renovations will cost more than smaller ones.
The scope of the project: A complete kitchen renovation will cost more than simply replacing the backsplash.
The materials and finishes chosen: High-end materials and finishes will cost more than lower-end options.

If you are considering a renovation, it is important to get estimates from a qualified contractor before making a decision.

Question 2

What is the difference between renovation and remodel?

Accepted Answer

While a remodel changes the form of something (like adding a new shower to an existing bathroom), a renovation focuses more on restoring something old into good repair (fixing up a creaky floor, for example).

Question 4

What is the most expensive room to remodel?

Typically, when homeowners remodel their kitchen countertops, they invariably succumb to the temptation to purchase all new appliances as well. This helps to explain why kitchens are typically the most expensive room to remodel.

Question 5

Is home improvement the same as remodeling?

Accepted Answer

The concept of home improvement, home renovation, or remodeling is the process of renovating or making additions to one's home.

Question 6

What is considered a major renovation?

Accepted Answer

Major renovation means a structural change to the foundation, roof, floor, or exterior or load- bearing walls of a facility, or extension of an existing facility to increase its floor area.

Question 7

Is it better to buy and renovate?

Accepted Answer

"Renovation can often be more cost-effective than purchasing a new home due to selling and buying costs such as real estate agent fees, closing costs and moving expenses, all of which can add up significantly," says Gerdts.

Question 8

Is renovation a repair?

Accepted Answer

Many wonder what the difference is when discussing renovation vs. repair or restoration. Often, people use the two concepts synonymously. While a renovation may include repairs, it focuses on refreshing and renewing a building or room with updates and replacements.

Question 9

Do contractors in Ontario need a license?

Accepted Answer

As a builder or as a vendor of new homes, you must hold a licence with the Ontario regulatory authority. To obtain and keep a licence you will need to meet required competencies and pay initial and renewal fees. You will also have to meet requirements from Tarion Warranty Corporation.
