Verified reviews from Heartwood kitchen renovation clients.
“We worked with Heartwood Renovations on two renovation projects, and our experience has been excellent from start to finish. Nick and Joal, the owners, were hands-on and made sure everything was done to the highest standard.”
A family member recommended Heartwood to us and after looking at a number of local renovation companies, we are so glad that we listened! I say new home, it is a 175 year old farmhouse…
Huge thanks to Heartwood who made our dreams come true! We came upon this company at a charity golf tournament. The entire process was seamless and quite frankly, fun!…

Home Expansions
Does your living space feel cramped? Or perhaps your home feels incomplete? A home expansion could be the perfect choice for your needs. Not only does a home expansion provide a simple way to increase the comfort and expand your home, but it is also a sound investment that can increase the market value of your property. We can help you design any type of expansion, including an en suite master bedroom, off-the-kitchen pantry, extra bedroom, or theatre room, among other types of spaces.
How Much Does a Home Renovation Cost in Ontario?
As a general Ontario market reference, not Heartwood pricing, home renovations in 2026 commonly run from roughly $100 to $300 or more per square foot, depending on the rooms involved, the finishes and how much structural, electrical or plumbing work is needed. Here is roughly how that breaks down.
Single Room or Refresh
Updating one room, such as a bathroom or a cosmetic refresh, sits at the lower end and is scoped on its own.
Kitchen or Major Room
A custom kitchen or major room renovation falls in the middle, with cabinetry, finishes and trades driving the cost.
Whole-Home Renovation
A full or gut renovation across multiple rooms is the largest investment, especially with structural changes and premium finishes.

Home Renovation Questions
How much does a home renovation cost in Ontario?
It depends on the size and scope of the work. As a general Ontario market reference, not Heartwood pricing, home renovations start around $100 per square foot and rise with the finishes and the structural work involved. Every project is quoted individually after a free in-home consultation.
How long do home renovations take?
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the project. A single room can take a few weeks, while a whole-home renovation often runs several months, including design and permits before construction begins. We give you a clear schedule with milestones up front, so you always know what comes next.
Do I need a permit for home renovations in Hamilton?
Often yes. Structural changes, additions, new plumbing, electrical or HVAC, and basement work usually require a building permit in Hamilton and across Halton. Heartwood initiates the permit applications and coordinates the inspections on your behalf, so your renovation stays compliant from start to finish.
Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes. Design, interior design, custom millwork, project management and construction all happen in-house under one team. You deal with one company from concept to completion, with no separate designer, cabinet shop and contractor to coordinate, all backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
What areas do you serve?
Heartwood is based in Ancaster and serves homeowners across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown and Grimsby. You can reach us at 289-208-2612 or visit our showroom at 7-680 Tradewind Drive in Ancaster to talk through your renovation.
Can I stay in my home during a renovation?
In many cases yes, depending on the scope and which part of your home is affected. A single-room project is usually easy to live through, while a large or whole-home renovation may be more comfortable to plan around. We sequence the work and keep you informed at every stage.
Do you offer a warranty on home renovations?
Heartwood offers a comprehensive 5-year workmanship warranty on all construction and installation work. Read the full details →
