Planning Your Renovation
Interior renovation costs in Ontario have stabilized after the significant inflation of 2021–2023, but they remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic benchmarks. Homeowners planning renovation projects in 2026 should use current market pricing rather than older estimates or project costs shared by friends who renovated several years ago.
Kitchen renovation costs in Ontario in 2026 range from approximately $25,000 for a basic cosmetic update (new cabinets, countertops, fixtures, paint, no layout change) to $60,000–$100,000+ for a full premium renovation with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and premium appliances. The mid-range complete kitchen runs $35,000–$55,000 in most Ontario markets.
What the Process Looks Like
Bathroom renovation costs range from $8,000–$15,000 for a basic powder room renovation to $20,000–$35,000 for a complete main bathroom renovation and $30,000–$55,000+ for a premium master ensuite. These ranges assume standard market labour rates and mid-to-upper quality materials.
Basement finishing costs have stabilized in the $40–$60 per square foot range for standard finishing (framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, paint, pot lights). Adding a full bathroom adds $10,000–$18,000. Adding a kitchen or kitchenette adds $8,000–$15,000 depending on specifications.
