ABOUT 
SEVERNWOODS
GETTING STARTED
The choice between renovating an outdated home or building a new custom
home is a significant decision many homeowners face. Both are strategic
investments and budget is often the deciding factor. While cost is obviously
important, at SevernWoods, we understand that most homeowners also have a
deep desire for a well-designed, functional space that all household members
can enjoy. Our clients realize that budget is only part of the formula for an
amazing renovation experience. Things like customer service, quality of
workmanship, integrity, and trust are priceless for a project of this magnitude.

That said, we know everyone has a budget and for planning purposes, the
subsequent pages cover investment ranges for whole home renovations and
custom homes in the Toronto market. You will also find helpful checklists to
help you communicate your needs and desires for your dream kitchen and
bathroom. This Cost Guide was compiled specifically for Toronto and the fine
neighbourhoods within based on our own internal data and past renovation
and custom home projects. Keep in mind that these are average costs and that
actual costs vary based on many factors.

COST PLANNING
When working with architects, custom home builders, or renovators, it is
important to communicate your innermost desires for your home because
many small variables can increase the cost. Our clients tend to have a special
appreciation for modern finishes, luxurious tech, and fine building materials in
their bathrooms and kitchens. These rooms impact the project budget greatly.
To help you communicate which luxurious features are your top priority, we
have created kitchen and bath wish lists for you. Some of these life-enhancing
features will affect your total investment more than others which is why it’s
intelligent to plan your building project with a firm experienced in modern
home renovations and upscale custom homes.

OTHER COST FACTORS
Another factor to consider when pricing major renovations is sustainability.
Many of our clients request passive home design features, environmentally
conscious building materials and upgraded energy efficiency measures. These
building project goals can increase the total cost estimate for the renovation
substantially but homeowners may recoup a portion of that investment with
tax incentives and long term energy cost savings. It’s important to discuss your
interest in sustainable building options at the very beginning of your home
renovation journey. At SevernWoods, we have experience building award
winning homes with environmentally responsible practices and can help
architects and homeowners estimate the cost in detail.

Many of the most beautiful Toronto houses are old Victorians and century
homes. Smart investors may be interested in renovating and restoring a classic
home in an established neighbourhood instead of buying a new home farther
away from the city. While cosmetic issues will certainly need to be corrected,
it’s imperative that you figure out if your house needs foundation correction to
fix alignment issues and unlevel floors. A home may need new supporting
beams and floor joists, which would increase the cost as well and the timeline
or duration of the renovation.
