Decoding the Cost per Square Foot of Whole Home Renovations in Toronto

In the world of Toronto home renovations, understanding cost variables is key. At Nisan Interior, we shed light on the factors impacting cost per square foot, empowering our clients with knowledge and control over their renovation budgets.

Architectural Complexity: Architect design fees vary. A minimal design package could cost less upfront but may lack detailed construction methods, potentially leading to increased costs during the build.


Scope of Home Renovation: High ceilings and complex structural engineering, such as steel structures, can increase costs by $30-$40 per square foot.

Framing: Opting for higher-end manufactured lumber over softwood could raise framing costs by $10-$20 per square foot.



Windows and Doors: Costs range from $7.50 per square foot for standard vinyl windows to $20 or more for high-end options.



Painting: A basic 4,000 sq ft home interior paint job might cost $20,000-$25,000, while a premium job could reach $50,000-$60,000.



Flooring: Costs vary from $5 per square foot for budget options to $25-$30 for luxury materials.


Millwork and Cabinetry: Standard packages might cost around $12.50 per square foot, whereas luxury custom work can range from $37.50 to $75 per square foot.



Tile and Stone Work: Standard material and installation costs start around $5 per square foot, increasing to $20 or more for luxury homes.



Electrical Systems and Lighting: Basic electrical work costs $8-$10 per square foot, with more elaborate systems and fixtures reaching $20-$30.

Plumbing: Basic plumbing rough-in starts at about $10 per square foot, with luxury materials and systems increasing costs to $15-$20.
