Start with one room, plan several rooms together, or renovate the whole home. Explore the work that fits your plans; the estimate will define what is included and what you want to keep.
Bring the kitchen, bathrooms and adjoining rooms into one plan. Decide what to keep, where the layout needs to change and which structural or service work connects the rooms. We coordinate design, permits and construction for the agreed scope, whether you build together or in phases.
Plan a whole-home budget →
Capable Group starts with the space you need and checks the lot, existing layout, structure, roofline, services and permit path before pricing the build seriously. The aim is an addition that connects properly to the home you want to keep, with the work and budget understood before the design goes too far.
Convert an underused basement into a family room, guest suite, gym, or home office with proper insulation, lighting, flooring, and storage. We plan Richmond Hill basement projects for comfort, code compliance, and long term value.

Start with how you use the kitchen: preparation space, storage, appliance positions and lighting. Keep a layout that works, or plan the plumbing, electrical and adjoining-room changes needed for a new one. Cabinetry, counters and finishes belong in the same agreed scope.
Understand kitchen costs →
Plan the shower or bath, vanity, storage and lighting together with waterproofing and ventilation. Keeping workable fixture locations and moving plumbing are different scopes. We help define the room you want and the work behind the finished tile.
Estimate bathroom costs →
Comfort and approvals belong in the same renovation plan. Review insulation, air sealing, windows and doors alongside layouts and finishes. We help with drawings, permit applications and inspections for the agreed work, so those decisions are made before the affected construction starts.
A kitchen renovation can also affect the dining room, a stair or the services below it. Decide which connections belong in the work before choosing finishes: the rooms you keep matter as much as the rooms you change.
Capable Group brings 25 years of renovation experience to your Richmond Hill project. We coordinate design, permits and construction for the agreed scope, with one contract, one schedule and one person to call. Free 3D design and permit drawings before you sign help you review the layout alongside a fixed, itemized quote.

These whole-home figures are GTA market planning ranges in Canadian dollars, before HST, not a Capable price list. Your exact number follows a free estimate visit, free 3D design and a fixed, itemized quote for the agreed scope. We beat any written quote by 5% on the same scope. See the full-home renovation cost guide for examples and budget drivers.
Start with the changes that matter in daily use. If the layout and services already work, the budget can go into the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and finishes. Moving walls or services brings a different construction scope. Plan those connections before comparing prices room by room.
What can keep the scope simpler: retain a sound layout, useful cabinetry or finishes where appropriate; keep workable service locations; choose standard products that suit the rooms. If you phase the renovation, plan the connections first so one stage does not close access needed by the next.
What adds work: moving plumbing, opening structural walls, replacing major systems, correcting concealed damage and commissioning custom cabinetry or detailed finishes. A larger price needs an explanation of the work behind it, not just a package name.
A single kitchen, bathroom or basement needs its own scope and budget. Use the relevant guide below, then discuss the rooms and changes you want at your free estimate visit. Kitchen budget guide · Bathroom calculator · Basement calculator.
GTA market planning ranges start from about $100 per renovated sq ft for a finish-led whole-home update, around $175–$300 for more comprehensive work, and above $300 for structural or high-end renovations. An open 1,000 sq ft basement finish starts around $40,000, or about $40 per sq ft, without a bathroom. Benching starts around $38,000 and underpinning around $55,000, before finishing; full bathrooms from about $15,000. A small rear addition of about 250 sq ft has a construction planning starting point around $88,000, before drawings, engineering and permits.
Keeping a sound layout and services usually costs less than moving plumbing or opening structural walls. These are market references, not Capable prices or a quote for this property.

We handle most residential renovation work, from kitchen and bathroom renovation in Richmond Hill to basement finishing, main floor reconfigurations, and full house renovation projects. That includes interior updates, structural changes, home additions, underpinning, and custom decks. If you’re planning a whole home renovation in Richmond Hill, we can manage the project from design through construction.
Yes. Start with the rooms you want to change, what is not working and what you want to keep. Free 3D design and permit drawings before you sign help you review the proposed layout alongside the scope and price. A 3D view helps you picture the result; it does not replace engineering, a permit decision or the inspections your project requires.
Yes, we help with layout planning, finish selections, and material decisions so you’re not trying to figure everything out on your own. We also offer interactive 3D design so you can visualize the space before construction starts. That’s especially helpful for custom home renovation projects and main floor layout changes.
Start with the City’s Heritage Register and cultural heritage planning guidance. Do not infer a property’s status from its age or appearance. Identify whether it is listed, individually designated or within a designated district, then discuss the proposed changes with the City before settling work that may affect protected features.
It depends on the size of the space, the scope of work, and the materials you choose. A kitchen, bathroom, basement, or whole home renovation can vary a lot, so the best next step is a detailed quote based on your actual plans. For current pricing and quote information, visit pricing.
It is a planning reference for the scope named beside it. Keeping a workable layout and sound services can limit the work; moving plumbing, opening structure or correcting concealed damage can change it. The free estimate visit and necessary scope review establish what belongs in your fixed, itemized quote. A market starting figure is not a promise that every room or house can be renovated for that amount.
Compare the same rooms, materials and included work before comparing totals. Check allowances, exclusions, permit responsibilities, disposal and any conditions still awaiting investigation. We beat any written quote by 5% on the same scope. If the scopes differ, bring both: we can review the missing work and assumptions with you. You can also use our renovation quote review.
Our quotes are meant to be clear, with the scope of work, allowances, and key project details spelled out so you can see what’s included. We also do a detailed pre-assessment to catch common hidden issues like outdated wiring, structural concerns, or other problems before work starts. That helps reduce change orders and gives Richmond Hill homeowners a more realistic renovation budget from the beginning.
It depends on the scope, approvals, and how much custom work is involved. A kitchen or bathroom usually moves faster than a whole home renovation, especially if structural changes or permits are needed. We give you a written schedule before work begins and keep you updated as the project moves forward.
Yes, we can handle permits and inspections as part of the renovation process. In Richmond Hill, permits are commonly required for additions, alterations, finished basements, and basement walkouts, and local approvals can affect timing. For more on permits and process, visit Ontario’s building-permit guide.
Kitchen upgrades, bathroom renovations, main floor improvements, and well-done basement renovations usually add the most practical value. The best return often comes from renovations that improve layout, storage, and everyday function rather than overbuilding for the area. For many Richmond Hill home renovations, clean design choices and quality workmanship matter more than chasing trends.
Yes, older homes can absolutely be renovated and brought up to current code where required. That’s often part of the job, especially when we uncover outdated electrical, framing, insulation, or plumbing during demolition. We plan for that upfront as much as possible so there are fewer surprises once the walls are open.
We keep projects moving by planning the scope carefully, confirming selections early, and giving you one clear point of contact throughout the job. Weekly updates help catch issues before they turn into bigger delays, and written scheduling keeps expectations realistic from the start. No contractor can control every variable, but strong planning and communication make a big difference.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Many homeowners can stay during smaller kitchen, bathroom, basement, or interior renovation work, but major full house renovations or jobs affecting essential services can make living at home difficult. We’ll tell you honestly what makes sense based on the scope, safety, and how much disruption your family is comfortable with.
A general contractor may mainly coordinate trades, while a renovation company for a full remodel often handles more of the planning, design coordination, scheduling, and day-to-day project management. For a whole home renovation in Richmond Hill, that extra structure usually helps with communication, budgeting, and keeping the work organized. In simple terms, you’re not just hiring trades, you’re hiring a system.
Yes, we handle structural renovation work, including removing walls, opening up layouts, and reworking the main floor when the design and engineering support it. Those projects often require permits, drawings, and inspections, especially in older homes. If you’re planning a more open-concept layout, we’ll confirm what’s structurally possible before construction begins.
We use dust barriers, floor protection, contained work areas, and daily site cleanups to limit mess as much as possible. Renovation work is never completely dust-free, but good site control makes a huge difference in how disruptive the project feels. This is especially important for families staying in the home during construction.
Yes, licensing, insurance, and WSIB coverage should be part of the conversation before any renovation starts, and we encourage homeowners to verify that with any contractor they’re considering. We carry liability insurance and WSIB clearance for residential work. For current insurance, licensing, and company details, visit about us.
Compare the scope line by line, not just the total price. Look for what’s actually included, what’s listed as an allowance, who handles permits, how change orders are managed, and whether the quote accounts for hidden-condition risks. If one quote is much lower, it’s worth asking what’s been left out.
A GTA full home renovation often takes 6-12 months from design to move-in. See typical phase ranges and what can move the schedule.
Check records, structure, moisture, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, hazardous materials, radon, permits, and heritage status before finishes lock the plan.
Trace a basement leak before insulation, drywall or flooring. Learn what to document, which water paths to investigate, and when permits or specialist review may apply.
Compare basement paint colors with lighting, ceiling height, flooring, moisture, and family-room renovation scope in mind.

Start with Richmond Hill’s building permit guidance when planning an addition or changes to an existing home. Bring the proposed layout and any existing drawings to the scope discussion. The aim is to identify the permit work before construction is scheduled, including changes to the structure or the use of part of the house.
Your project can stay focused on the space you need to improve. Choose the route that matches the work:
For a project focused on the lower level, see basement renovation in Richmond Hill. Keep the basement plan connected to any work elsewhere in the house.
Start with the rooms you want to improve, even if you haven’t settled on a layout. Tell Yan, the owner, what you hope to change, your city, rough timing and budget. Bring any photos, plans or quote you already have; the first conversation is about defining the work and the next step toward your estimate.
