Home Renovations in Ajax, ON
Room by room, done right.
Lots of Ajax houses are due for their first real update. The bathrooms still have the original vanity and tub surround, the kitchen has builder cabinets, and the light fixtures haven't changed since closing day. We take on home renovations in Ajax at a mid-sized scale, such as bathroom remodels, kitchen refreshes and basement rooms. Pedro has 16 years in construction and can manage every stage of the work himself.
First Real Updates for Ajax Builder Homes
Bathrooms usually come first. A builder bathroom from the 1990s or 2000s tends to have a laminate vanity, a fibreglass or acrylic tub surround and a single light over the mirror. A cosmetic refresh with a new vanity, new fixtures, better lighting, paint and fresh caulking usually takes 3 to 5 days. A full gut and rebuild takes 1 to 2 weeks. In Ontario, bathroom renovations typically run $5,000 to $15,000 depending on scope.
Kitchens in these houses often have a sound layout and tired finishes. Painting the cabinets and adding new counters, a backsplash and new fixtures can make the room feel current without moving a single wall, and that kind of update usually costs $5,000 to $12,000. If the layout itself is the problem, a full kitchen renovation starts around $15,000.
Rental owners in Ajax use us for improvement projects as well, usually timed for the gap between tenants. A bathroom refresh, new flooring in the bedrooms or a fully repainted unit is far easier to do while the place is empty. The written estimate includes a timeline, so you can plan the listing date around it. If the unit needs repairs as well as upgrades, we fold both into one schedule so the place only sits empty once.
Pedro handles bathroom remodels, kitchen refreshes and room renovations. For how he approaches home renovations in general, see our home remodeling & renovation page.

Home Renovations in Ajax: FAQ
Do you offer home renovations in Ajax?
Yes. Ajax is part of our Durham Region service area, and we work there from our base in Bowmanville. Call or text (289) 928-5689, or request a free estimate online.
Can you replace the tub in our Ajax main bathroom with a walk-in shower?
Usually, yes. A standard tub alcove is often wide enough for a shower base, though the drain location and the floor framing decide what fits. The work means taking out the tub and surround, adjusting the drain, waterproofing the walls and then tiling or installing a new surround. We'll look at it in person, and tell you if part of the plumbing needs a licensed plumber.
We'd like to update our Ajax kitchen in stages instead of all at once. Does that work?
It can. A sensible order is anything behind the walls first, then the cabinets or cabinet painting, then counters, then the backsplash and fixtures. Doing it in stages usually costs a bit more overall than one project, because some setup gets repeated, but it spreads out the spending. We'll price each stage separately in the written estimate so you can plan around it.
