RENAWO in Pickering
A Renovation Partner for Pickering Homes
Pickering is a city of contrasts. South of Highway 401, neighbourhoods such as Bay Ridges, West Shore and Rosebank sit close to Frenchman’s Bay and Lake Ontario, with many homes built in the decades after the area first grew as a commuter community. North of the highway, Liverpool, Amberlea, Brock Ridge and Highbush feature family subdivisions, while Duffin Heights and the planned Seaton community represent the city’s newest chapter.
That range shapes how we approach each job. An older bungalow near the waterfront may need updated wiring, insulation or plumbing before new finishes go in. A two-storey home from a later subdivision often has sound bones but a dated layout. A recently built house may simply need an unfinished basement turned into usable space or builder-grade surfaces replaced with something more personal.
Serving homeowners in Pickering, RENAWO handles design guidance, scheduling, trade coordination and site management so you have one accountable team from first visit to final walkthrough.
Complete Renovation Services
Renovation Services Across Pickering
Six core services, each planned around the age, layout and condition of your Pickering home.
Full Home Renovation
Full Home Renovations in Pickering
When several rooms need attention at once, a coordinated whole-home renovation usually costs less disruption than tackling spaces one at a time. We map the sequence so structural, mechanical and finishing work happen in a logical order.
In established south Pickering neighbourhoods, that often means reworking closed floor plans and bringing older systems up to current expectations. For later-built homes north of the 401, the focus tends to shift toward modern finishes, better storage and a layout that fits how your household lives today.
Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen Renovations in Pickering
In many homes the kitchen is the room that feels most dated, particularly where the original layout closes it off from the rest of the main floor. We design around your cooking habits, storage needs and the way the space connects to dining and family areas.
Options range from a refresh of cabinetry, counters and lighting to a full reconfiguration that opens a wall or adds an island. Where a wall comes down, we confirm whether it is load-bearing and plan the engineering and permit steps before demolition.
Basement Renovation
Basement Renovations in Pickering
Many Pickering homes, including newer builds in Duffin Heights and Seaton, come with unfinished or partly finished lower levels. A well-planned basement can add a family room, home office, guest suite or gym without changing the footprint of the house.
Because basements sit below grade, we look closely at moisture, insulation, ceiling height and egress before choosing finishes. If a secondary suite is on your wish list, mention it early: the City of Pickering sets the requirements for additional units, and confirming them before design avoids costly changes later.
Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom Renovations in Pickering
From a cramped main bath in an older bungalow to an ensuite that never matched the rest of a newer home, bathroom projects deliver daily comfort. We plan layouts, waterproofing, ventilation and lighting together rather than as separate decisions.
Popular requests include walk-in showers, double vanities, heated floors and improved storage. Accessibility features such as curbless entries and grab-bar blocking can be built in now, even if you do not need them yet.
Interior Remodeling
Interior Remodeling in Pickering
Not every project needs plumbing or new cabinetry. Interior remodeling covers flooring, trim, stairs, built-ins, lighting, drywall repairs and paint, the elements that change how a home looks and feels from room to room.
For Pickering homeowners preparing to stay long term, or getting ready to list, a consistent interior update can make a house feel cohesive. We help you prioritize the changes that make the biggest visual difference for your budget.
Custom Renovations & Upgrades
Custom Renovations in Pickering
Some ideas do not fit a standard category: a mudroom off the garage, a home office with built-in shelving, a reworked staircase or a laundry room moved upstairs. Our custom renovation service handles these one-of-a-kind requests.
We start by understanding the problem you want solved, then design a solution that suits the existing structure, whether your house sits near the lake or in one of the city’s newer northern communities.
Local Insight
Renovating Homes in Pickering
Pickering’s housing spans waterfront streets, mature subdivisions with large trees and fenced yards, and brand-new streetscapes still filling in. Each brings different starting conditions, so we assess the house in front of us rather than assuming a standard scope.
We also consider practical details unique to your street: access for deliveries and bins, parking for trades, and how to protect finished spaces while work continues in other rooms.
Established south Pickering
Older homes near Frenchman’s Bay and the lakeshore often benefit from mechanical updates and more open, connected layouts.
Mature northern subdivisions
Liverpool, Amberlea and nearby areas commonly call for kitchen, bath and basement updates in sound family homes.
Duffin Heights and Seaton
Newer houses typically need finished basements, upgraded finishes and storage tailored to growing households.

Pickering FAQ
Renovation Questions in Pickering
Depending on the scope of work, a building permit may be required. Requirements are set by the City of Pickering, so check the City of Pickering website or ask us to review your project during planning.
How much does a home renovation cost in Pickering?
Cost depends on the size of the space, the scope of work, the condition of existing systems and the finishes you choose. A cosmetic kitchen refresh and a full layout change are very different budgets. After a site visit we provide a detailed estimate. Our renovation cost guide explains the main factors.
How long does a renovation take in Pickering?
Timelines depend on scope, material lead times and whether permits are needed. A bathroom is typically a matter of weeks, while a full home renovation can run for several months. We share a schedule before work begins and update you if anything changes.
Do I need a permit for my renovation in Pickering?
It depends on the scope. Structural changes, new plumbing or electrical work and finishing new living space are the kinds of work that may need a permit, while purely cosmetic updates may not. The City of Pickering sets the requirements and makes the final call, so we flag likely permit items early and you can confirm with the City before construction starts.
Can RENAWO handle a full home renovation in Pickering?
Yes. We coordinate design, trades, sequencing and site management for whole-home projects, so you work with one team instead of hiring separate contractors for each room.
Do you renovate kitchens and bathrooms in Pickering?
Can you finish a basement in a newer Duffin Heights or Seaton home?
Yes. Newer homes often have unfinished lower levels that make excellent family rooms, offices or guest spaces. We assess moisture, insulation, ceiling height and egress first, then design around how you plan to use the space.
How do I start a renovation with RENAWO?
Begin by requesting a quote. We will learn about your goals, arrange a visit to your Pickering home and outline next steps for design and pricing.
