Angela Dunbar
We used homestead renovation to finish our basement and to freshen up our nursery. They worked with us to help us stay in our budget and create beautiful, quality spaces for our growing family to enjoy. They were quick to respond to questions and requests and were helpful in giving us design input as well as ideas to help us save money. They were easy to work with and very honest and up front with costs of materials and labour. We would definitely recommend for your future Reno’s, big or small!

Jenny and her crew built our barn and porch. They did an outstanding job and the whole crew were amazing people to work with. I’d highly recommend this team for your next renovation.
Carrie Dyer-Chapman
I recently had my basement finished and a bathroom installed by Jenny and her team at Homestead Renovation and Construction. I couldn't be happier with the results! The team was professional, timely, and their craftsmanship was top-notch. They paid great attention to detail, ensuring everything was perfect. Communication was excellent throughout the process, making the entire project stress-free. I highly recommend them for any home renovation needs! I look forward to our next project together!

Barbara Morrongiello
Homestead did a wonderful job renovating our kitchen. They were professional, attentive to detail, and completed the job on time and with a smile. They even anticipated, and prevented, issues that we had not thought about. Fabulous team to work with!
Before you hire a renovation contractor in Ontario
No. Renovation contractors are not licensed in Ontario - but the sub-trades they hire may be, and the permits are the real accountability mechanism.
Written contract with a defined scope
Should include a fixed price or a clearly capped cost-plus arrangement, a payment schedule tied to milestones, a start and substantial completion date, a change order process, and what happens if either party walks away.
General liability insurance and WSIB clearance
Two million minimum. Confirm the policy covers the type and value of your project - some policies exclude structural work.
Building permit, pulled by the contractor
Insist the contractor pulls it in their name, not yours. A permit in your name makes you the constructor and shifts liability onto you. This is a genuinely important detail that many homeowners agree to without realising.
Verify with: Your municipal building department.
Licensed sub-trades for regulated work
Your renovator need not be licensed, but the electrician and plumber must be. Ask who they are and verify them independently.
Questions worth asking
- Will you pull the building permit in your company name?
- Can I see the written scope, and does it list specific products and models rather than allowances?
- What is the payment schedule, and is it tied to milestones rather than dates?
- How are change orders priced and approved - in writing, before the work happens?
- Who are your electrician and plumber, and can I verify their licences?
