Planning a bathroom renovation properly
When you outline the changes you want to make in the bathroom, you make it easier for the contractor to define the scope of the renovation. It will also be easier for you to focus on the project and control the budget.
Determine whether you want to change the bathroom fixtures only or the floors. Other changes you can make include making the room bigger, adding a new bathroom, building more storage features, and adding new mirrors or changing the vanity.
You should know the right qualities to look for in a contractor before hiring them. Examples are:
Ability to deliver quickly: You can find this out by asking the contractor how long they intend to take on the project. Remember, the longer they take, the more inconvenienced you’ll be.
Types of services: The best contractors will be able to give you all services ranging from designing the new bathroom, to the installation of finishing touches. Ask the contractor if they have handled projects similar to yours before.
The number of employees: Ask about the number of builders a company sends to your property. The number should depend on how big the renovation is. The company should have enough people to complete the project on time without overwhelming you.
Demolition: Ask the company about who will prepare the site for renovation, as well as any additional costs you’ll incur. Ask about the disposal services as well, and whether it will attract more expenses.
The ability of the renovation company to protect your property as the renovation continues, as well as the duration they have been in the business, are also crucial. Ask about their source of material as well. Easy Reno has the experience, contacts of local vendors, a variety of bathroom renovation services, and enough employees to complete large and small projects.

How we can assist
Designs for the renovations: We can turn your ideas into reality. We can also create unique designs that will give your bathroom a personal touch that is unlike any other bathroom. Our design team will optimize the bathroom space and still make it stand out.
Demolitions: How the demolitions are done will determine how much you end up spending on the repairs before the renovations. Other than being too expensive, a poorly handled demolition can also create dangerous situations for you and your family. You could damage the pipes and other bathroom appliances that will create an unsafe environment. When you have our professionals, you can be sure that all your elements and bathroom features will remain in good condition as we get ready for the renovation. Our skills and equipment allow us to handle the job meticulously and with the utmost precision.
Electrical work and plumbing: Your bathroom will be incomplete without a functional plumbing system. Poorly installed plumbing pipes can cause water leakage that destroys your property. Electrical wiring that isn’t handled by qualified technicians can also be very dangerous. We will make sure you get a well-heated bathroom with enough supply of water and lighting fixtures.
Installation of new floors: Whether you want new floors or want us to recycle your old floors, we will make it happen. We select appropriate flooring materials as well as other materials for furnishing the bathroom.
Final touches: To give your bathroom the visual appeal it deserves, you need additional details suitable for the space. The details can be decorative light fixtures, backsplashes, or moldings on different surfaces of the bathroom. Our designers will use their skills to make your bathroom pop by handcrafting the details you like.
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Burlington?
Factors determining the cost or bathroom renovations include:
Your contractor: Burlington contractors aren’t obligated to charge a specific amount of money for their services. Every company will charge an amount they think is fair, and that will contribute to your overall costs. The labour charges are usually per hour, with most companies asking for at least $45 and at most $100.
Type of renovation: If you want a whole bathroom makeover, you will pay more than someone who wants to make a few changes, such as adding more lighting fixtures. Expect to pay at least $250 per square foot if you want a full renovation.
Materials: The type of material you use and their quality can also increase the price. If you prefer unique materials that are not available locally, you will spend more. Higher quality materials are also likely to cost more, but they offer durability and great value in return.
Bathroom space: Tight spaces that are hidden around corners are difficult to get to. They take longer to work around, which means they require more time and effort. As such, renovating such bathrooms will be more expensive than renovating easily accessible bathrooms.
Property location: Bathroom renovation materials have different prices in different parts of the Greater Toronto Area. Where the contractor chooses to get the building materials and where you live in Burlington will determine how much you spend.
Easy Reno’s costs start at $13,595 and can go as high as you like. We will give you a more detailed estimate when you contact us.
Renovation Do’s And Don’t
Burlington bathroom renovation tips
Easy reno Do’s
- Take your time and plan properly, considering every detail of the job.
- Come up with a budget, otherwise, the renovation costs could get out of hand. Make sure the quote given by the contractor fits within that budget.
- When choosing bathroom features, consider your future needs as well. Use elements that will be easy to sell.
- Add as many storage elements as you can. The more storage you have, the more functional and valuable the bathroom will be.
- Try to make the vanity the most noticeable piece in the bathroom.
Easy reno Dont’s
- Never start a renovation without outlining your exact requirements. You’ll not visualize the bathroom and will not transform it the way you want.
- Don’t be unrealistic with the budget. Always anticipate more costs, especially when you want unique materials. Don’t expect your initial budget to stay the same. Things tend to go wrong after a renovation starts.
- Don’t get high-end materials that you can’t afford. You shouldn’t use unique products if you intend to sell the property as well.
- Don’t wait until the end to include storage ideas into the design.
