Your Trusted Local Construction Partner in Toronto, Ontario

Renovating in Toronto takes more than good tools, because older homes, tight lots and condo rules all complicate the work. For example, a character home in Cabbagetown, a basement suite in Scarborough and a condo downtown raise very different challenges. Therefore, Proventa Construction Inc. plans each project around the property, not around a template.

Coordinating separate designers, trades and plan examiners often becomes a headache, but we remove it. Instead, our team manages every phase, from architectural concept drawings to the final coat of paint. As a result, you get consistent craftsmanship, a clear timeline and one point of contact. Before you decide, browse our recent projects or learn more about our company.

Flooring Installation & Restoration

Before we install hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate or tile, we level the subfloor. In addition, we sand, refinish and restore existing floors.

Electrical Services

Because older homes often need more power, our electrical team upgrades panels, lays out pot lights and installs EV chargers. We also rewire to code, so your power stays reliable and safe.

Common Toronto Renovation Problems We Solve

“My kitchen is small, dark and closed off.”

Because many Toronto homes have compact, enclosed kitchens, we redesign the layout and open walls where the structure allows. We also add better lighting and storage, as our kitchen renovation services show.

“My basement is damp or has flooded before.”

First, we find the cause of the moisture. Then we fix drainage, add a sump pump or backwater valve where needed and finish the space with moisture-resistant materials. Because both trades matter here, our plumbing team and basement renovation team work together.

“I want a legal basement apartment, but the rules confuse me.”

Because the rules for legal suites confuse many owners, we review zoning, ceiling height, egress and fire separation before we design anything. Then we prepare the drawings and manage the permit, so you avoid costly mistakes.

“My wiring is old and my panel keeps tripping.”

Because older houses often have outdated wiring and undersized panels, we assess the system first. Then we upgrade the service and add circuits for modern loads such as EV chargers, as our electrical services page explains.

“I don’t know if I need a permit.”

Before you start, we check your project against City of Toronto rules and tell you exactly what you need. When a permit applies, our architectural drawings and permit team prepares and submits it.

“I’m tired of juggling five different contractors.”

Instead of juggling five contractors, you deal with one team and one schedule, because we manage design, trades, inspections and clean-up. For larger projects such as additions, we also act as a full building construction company.

Renovation Expertise Across Toronto Neighbourhoods

As a general contractor in Toronto, we adapt our approach to each area, since housing varies a lot from one neighbourhood to the next.

  • Downtown, Cabbagetown & The Annex: Century-old brick homes often hide plaster walls and older wiring, so we plan for those surprises.
  • Leslieville, The Beaches & East York: Semi-detached and detached homes suit open-concept kitchens, rear additions and finished basements, especially when space is limited.
  • North York, Scarborough & Etobicoke: Post-war bungalows and split-levels work well for basement suites and side entrances, because their layouts are solid.
  • Condos & High-Rises: Building rules shape the work, so we handle board approvals, noise hours and elevator bookings.

When you need a specific project type, visit our Toronto kitchen renovation page or our Toronto permit drawings page.

Navigating City of Toronto Building Codes & Permits

Because structural changes and legal secondary suites in Toronto must follow the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and City of Toronto zoning bylaws, our team handles the administrative burden for you.

  • Zoning Compliance: First, we review setbacks, lot coverage and ceiling height rules for your property.
  • Permit Approvals: Next, we prepare technical working drawings and submit them to the City of Toronto Building Division.
  • Safety Regulations: Then we install code-compliant egress windows, interconnected smoke alarms and rated fire barriers where multi-unit properties need them.
  • Urban Logistics: Finally, we manage tight site access, material storage and street permits when a project needs them.

  • 2. Design & Permits: Next, we prepare the drawings and apply for permits where your project needs them.

Frequently Asked Questions: Toronto Home Renovations

Do I need a permit for home renovations in Toronto?

It depends on the scope, because structural changes, plumbing or electrical alterations, new basement suites and additions usually need a City of Toronto permit. However, simple cosmetic work like painting does not. Since rules vary, we check your project and handle the drawings and applications for you.

How do you convert a basement into a legal secondary suite in Toronto?

Because a legal suite must meet the Ontario Building Code, it needs a separate entrance, enough ceiling height, safe egress windows, fire-rated separation, sound control and suitable heating and ventilation. However, requirements vary by property, so we assess your home first. After that, we handle everything from drawings to final inspection.

How long does a renovation take?

Kitchen and bathroom renovations often take about 3 to 6 weeks once construction starts, although custom cabinets can add lead time. Meanwhile, whole-home remodels and legal basement conversions often take 8 to 16 weeks. Before you sign, we give you a precise timeline.

How much does a renovation cost in Toronto?

Because every project differs, the price depends on size, materials and how much structural, plumbing or electrical work you need. For example, a cosmetic refresh costs far less than a full redesign. After we visit your property, we give you a written scope and a clear estimate.

Can you renovate a condo in Toronto?

Yes, and most condo buildings require board approval, a deposit and set work hours. Therefore, we prepare the paperwork, book elevators and follow your building’s rules from start to finish.

Do you handle both design and construction?

Yes, our team prepares architectural design and building drawings and also builds the project. As a result, nothing gets lost between the plan and the finished work.

What should I ask before I hire a Toronto contractor?

Before you hire anyone, ask for a written scope and schedule, a clear explanation of permits and a plan for handling surprises. Also, check how the contractor manages trades and inspections. Although vague answers are a warning sign, we gladly answer all of these during your consultation.

Can I stay in my home during the renovation?

Often, yes, although kitchen renovations are the main exception because you will lose the room for a while. Meanwhile, we protect the rest of your home and suggest a simple temporary setup. In addition, basement and exterior projects usually let you stay comfortably.

What happens if you find a problem behind the walls?

Older Toronto homes often hide surprises, so when we find a problem, we stop and explain what we found. Then we give you cost and timing options. Since nothing extra goes ahead without your approval, you always stay in control. You can also read more answers on our FAQ page.
