Home Renovation Costs in 2025: What to Expect and How to Budget

Thinking about renovating your home? Whether it’s a kitchen upgrade, bathroom remodel, or full-scale overhaul, one of the first questions on your mind is probably: How much is this going to cost me? We found a great resource from RenoAssistance to help you get a general idea of renovation costs in Canada.

Average Renovation Costs in Canada

In 2025, home renovation costs in Canada can range widely depending on the size and scope of the project:
  • Small renovations (cosmetic updates, fixtures, paint): $5,000–$15,000
  • Medium renovations (kitchen or bathroom remodels, flooring): $15,000–$50,000
  • Large-scale renovations (major structural changes, additions): $50,000–$200,000+
The final price tag depends on factors like square footage, materials used, location, and labor costs.

What Impacts Renovation Costs?

  • Project Size & Complexity – A powder room refresh is far less expensive than a full basement conversion.
  • Material Quality – High-end finishes can double your costs compared to standard options.
  • Labor Rates – Skilled trades in urban areas often charge more.
  • Unforeseen Issues – Older homes may have surprises like outdated wiring or hidden water damage.

Room-by-Room Cost Breakdown (Estimates)

  • Bathroom: $13,000–$35,000
  • Kitchen: $25,000–$75,000
  • Basement: $30,000–$100,000
  • Bedroom: $10,000–$20,000
  • Garage: $20,000–$50,000
  • Deck/Patio: $5,000–$25,000

How to Budget Wisely

  • Get multiple quotes from verified contractors.
  • Plan for a 10–20% contingency for surprises.
  • Set priorities—decide where to splurge and where to save.
  • Don’t forget permits and taxes, which can add thousands to your total.
