At Szentivany & Sons, we believe a renovation is more than just a construction project—it’s an investment in your home’s legacy. While many know us for our signature kitchens and bathrooms, our expertise extends to full-scale general renovations. We take pride in transforming every corner of your home with the same attention to detail that has defined our family business for over 30 years in the Durham Region and GTA.

- Open-Concept Living & Structural Work: Safely removing load-bearing walls to modernize your home’s flow and increase natural light.

The Szentivany Way: Quality Over Volume

- Direct Communication: You work directly with our family—not an anonymous project manager.
- No Subcontractors: Our core team executes the work, ensuring the “Szentivany standard” is met at every stage.
- Transparent Pricing: We provide detailed, itemized proposals so you know exactly where your investment is going.
FAQ: General Home Renovations
Planning & Execution
How do we start the renovation process?
It begins with a free on-site consultation. We listen to your goals, assess your space, and provide a 3D design rendering along with a clear, transparent proposal. We want you to see your finished home before we even start.
Does Szentivany & Sons handle building permits?
Yes. For general renovations involving structural changes or basement suites, we manage the permit application and ensure all work is fully compliant with the Ontario Building Code.
Will I have a messy house during the renovation?
We treat your home like our own. We use professional dust containment and ensure the job site is cleaned at the end of every day. Respecting your living space is a core part of our service.
Cost & Timeline
How much does a general renovation cost?
Costs vary based on the scope, but our “fixed-price” model means the price we agree upon is the price you pay. We provide a detailed options breakdown so you can choose finishes that fit your budget.
How long will my project take?
A typical general renovation (such as a whole-floor update or basement finish) usually takes between 5 to 10 weeks. We provide a firm timeline before work begins and keep you updated weekly on our progress.
