Home Renovations, Additions & Custom Builds

We provide fixed-price quotes, not estimates. Before any work begins, you receive a detailed quote covering the full agreed scope — materials, labour, permits, and project management. You only pay beyond that amount if you choose to add scope. This approach eliminates the surprise cost increases that are common with estimate-based contractors. Our fixed-price contract locks in the agreed scope, so there are no "surprise invoices" — a problem that over 50 completed projects have taught us to prevent through thorough pre-construction planning and transparent communication.

Timelines depend on project type: most bathroom renovations take 3–6 weeks, kitchen renovations 6–8 weeks, and basement finishes 4–8 weeks. Home additions and custom builds are scoped individually based on complexity. We provide a clear, detailed timeline before work starts and hold ourselves to it with our on-time completion guarantee.

Yes. Maserat Developments is WSIB Certified and carries comprehensive general liability insurance ($2M+). For condo projects, we carry all additional coverage required by Toronto condo corporations and provide certificates directly to building management. We have completed 50+ projects across Toronto.

The City of Toronto processes most renovation permits in 5–10 business days under the FASTRACK program for projects under 100 m². Larger additions, second-floor expansions, or custom builds typically take 4–8 weeks once drawings are complete. Projects needing minor variances through the Committee of Adjustment can extend to 3–6 months total due to public notice and appeal periods. Laneway and garden suites benefit from the City's new pre-approved plans, which can cut approval time significantly. We manage the entire process — application, drawings coordination, inspections, and follow-up — so you never have to visit City Hall. Your dedicated project manager provides a clear permit timeline at the consultation so you know exactly when construction can start.
