Thoughtful Renovations for Richmond Hill Homes
Richmond Hill is a community of family homes. Many of its neighbourhoods were built in waves over several decades, which means homeowners today are often living with layouts, kitchens and bathrooms designed for a different era — and lower levels that were never fully finished.
RENAWO works with Richmond Hill homeowners who want to update rather than move: opening up main floors, creating kitchens that suit how families cook and gather today, renovating bathrooms that have reached the end of their useful life and turning basements into comfortable, well-planned living space.
Every project begins with a careful look at your home as it is — its structure, its systems and its potential — so that the plan we build together is realistic, considered and designed to last.

Complete Renovation Services in Richmond Hill
All six RENAWO renovation services are available to Richmond Hill homeowners. Here is how each one typically applies to the homes we see in the area.
Full Home Renovations in Richmond Hill
Homes that have been lived in for twenty or thirty years often need more than one room updated. A full home renovation lets you plan the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting and layout together, so the finished home feels cohesive rather than updated piece by piece.
For many Richmond Hill families, this means rethinking a formal living and dining arrangement into a more open, connected main floor, while upgrading finishes throughout.
Kitchen Renovations in Richmond Hill
Kitchens in many two-storey homes from the 1980s and 1990s were designed as separate rooms with limited counter space and dated cabinetry. Today, homeowners want a kitchen that connects to the family room, offers an island or peninsula and provides far better storage.
We plan the layout, cabinetry and lighting around how your household actually uses the space.
Bathroom Renovations in Richmond Hill
Primary ensuites with large tubs and small showers, builder-grade vanities and tired tile are common in established Richmond Hill homes. A bathroom renovation can rebalance the space — often with a larger walk-in shower, better storage and improved ventilation and lighting.
Proper waterproofing behind the finishes is a priority on every bathroom we build.
Basement Renovations in Richmond Hill
Many Richmond Hill homes have full-height basements that offer valuable additional living space. Whether you want a family room, guest suite, home gym, media room or office, a well-planned basement starts with moisture management, insulation, lighting and a layout that feels like part of the home.
If you are considering a separate living unit, we discuss municipal requirements during planning.
Interior Remodeling in Richmond Hill
Interior remodeling is often about flow: removing or modifying walls, relocating openings, updating staircases and refreshing floors, trim and lighting so the home feels brighter and more connected.
Where walls are load-bearing or carry mechanical services, we plan for structural support and any permit questions before work begins.
Custom Renovations in Richmond Hill
Some of the most rewarding projects are focused upgrades: built-in cabinetry around a fireplace, a mudroom with proper storage, a home office, new flooring throughout or a refreshed staircase with modern railings.
We bring the same planning and finishing standard to targeted upgrades as we do to larger renovations.
Local Insight
Renovating Homes in Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill’s housing reflects its growth over time. Along the historic Yonge Street core and around Mill Pond, you will find older homes with smaller rooms and character worth preserving. Large areas of the city were developed with detached two-storey homes and townhouses through the late twentieth century, including the larger homes of Bayview Hill, while communities such as Oak Ridges and Jefferson include many newer homes.
That variety shapes renovation priorities. Older homes may need updated electrical, plumbing and insulation alongside new finishes. Homes from the 1980s and 1990s frequently benefit from opened-up main floors and modernized kitchens and bathrooms. Newer homes often focus on finishing the basement, upgrading builder-grade finishes and adding custom storage.
Main Floor Flow
Reconfiguring separate living, dining and kitchen spaces into a layout that suits everyday family life.
Lower-Level Living
Finishing basements for recreation, guests, work or multi-generational living.
Modernized Finishes
Replacing dated cabinetry, tile, flooring and lighting with durable, timeless materials.

Richmond Hill FAQ
Renovation Questions in Richmond Hill
Depending on the scope of work, a building permit may be required. Requirements are set by the City of Richmond Hill. For current information, visit the City of Richmond Hill website or ask us to review permit needs for your project.
How much does a home renovation cost in Richmond Hill?
Renovation costs depend on the size of the space, the scope of work, the condition of existing structure and systems, and the materials and finishes you choose. A bathroom refresh and a full main-floor renovation are very different investments. Our cost guides explain the main cost factors, and a consultation is the best way to establish a realistic budget for your home.
How long does a renovation take?
Timing depends on scope, design decisions, material lead times and whether permits are required. We provide an expected schedule as part of your proposal so you can plan around the work.
Do renovation projects in Richmond Hill require permits?
Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required. The City of Richmond Hill sets the requirements, and work that touches structure, plumbing, electrical or living space is worth checking before you commit to a design. We can look over your plans early and highlight questions to confirm with the City.
Can RENAWO handle a full-home renovation?
Yes. Full home renovations are one of our core services. We plan the whole project together — layout, systems, finishes and sequencing — so the home comes together as one cohesive result.
Do you renovate kitchens and bathrooms in Richmond Hill?
Yes. Kitchen and bathroom renovations are among the most common projects for Richmond Hill homeowners, either on their own or as part of a larger renovation.
