EXCELLENT Based on 26 reviews Posted on Google Mary TsoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of working with Geno and Marino from Sunnylea Homes for a complete home renovation, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking exceptional quality and professionalism. Their dedication, expertise, and attention to detail truly set them apart. We built a great relationship with them, and our experience with them from the initial consultation to the completion of the project was nothing short of outstanding. The entire process was smooth and professional, and it exceeded all of our expectations. They led the project, demonstrating exceptional communication skills, consistently keeping us updated on timelines and the renovation's progress. They have a fantastic crew! Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in the excellent work across every aspect of the project. Each member of the crew and tradespeople contributed to the high standard of craftsmanship seen throughout our home. The result is a space that is not only beautiful but also functional and built to last. Sunnylea Homes worked collaboratively with us and our fabulous designer, Karin and her wonderful Team from Karin Bennett Designs, providing valuable feedback and recommendations that enhanced both the flow and design. Any questions or concerns we had were always addressed promptly and thoroughly. If you are searching for reliable, skilled, sincere, and friendly professionals for your home renovation, we wholeheartedly recommend Sunnylea Homes. We are thrilled with the results and continue to work with Geno and Marino on additional projects. We feel truly grateful to have hired them for a project that meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the transformation and the experience working with you and your team. Throughout the renovation process, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and expertise. The collaborative approach and teamwork ensured our vision was realized, and the result far surpassed our expectations. Geno, Marino, and their crew demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication, continuously keeping us informed and addressing any concerns promptly. The craftsmanship and quality throughout the project have delivered a beautiful, functional space that we are proud to call home. We would once again like to formally acknowledge all the tradespeople who worked around the clock throughout the renovation of our home. From the demolition team to the skilled carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, and finishers, they all worked to achieve exceptional quality on the project, and we greatly value their commitment to our renovation. Geno, Marino and Carmela, a heartfelt thank you for making our renovation journey truly memorable and rewarding. You helped bring our vision to life. We are sincerely grateful to know you and look forward to working with you on future projects!Posted on Google Jasmine LovricTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunnylea and Marino were fabulous. I basically gutted my condo unit and the results are beyond my expectations. His professionalism and suggestions were priceless. The quality of the workmanship and materials were outstanding. I’m totally thrilled with the outcome and if you are interested in a stress free experience, I highly recommend Sunnylea Homes.Posted on Google Sue NealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the beginning Geno and his team had a total respect for and adherence to my time lines, my wishes and in fact, Geno fought for me on a number of things I really wanted that were outside the norm for my condo building. He was successful every time...and also spot on with original quotes, from start to finish. As a realtor, I have referred Geno and his team to many of my clients and they all get back to me with glowing reviews...including how personable the guys are. Thank-you Geno & Co., for making my reno such a smooth-sailing experience!Posted on Google Pamela DivinskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is not a horror renovation story. Quite the opposite. Caring, Attentive, Helpful. Thoughtful. The Sunnylea Homes Team took extraordinary care of me and my home. We worked without a designer and the team was so experienced and knowledgable, they provided outstanding functional advice that made every decision and choice the absolute right one. Thank you to the full team - you have made my life a lot sunnier! PamelaPosted on Google Rohan AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marino and the team got the job done on time, on budget, and with attention to detail that is hard to find these days. Hard to do better than that! Highly recommended. We initially began with a small job. Marino communicated extensively about timelines and the work, and accommodated our requests for timeline changes. After we started the job, we decided to considerably expand the scope. Marino and the team could not have been more accommodating and despite the expanded scope they minimized disruptions and met the promised timelines to the day. We were impressed by how Marino and the team worked intelligently and with much care as the job progressed. For instance, at one point, they recommended re-routing various pipes to gain us an extra inch of space in the washroom without any extra cost. Similarly, they re-did some tiling because of slight imperfections, even though it was going to be covered by the vanity, again without any additional cost. These are small things, of course, but they all add up. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Jaime BlottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! I had an incredible experience with Sunnylea. It started with a full gut job of our condo and 3 quotes. After meeting with Marino from Sunnylea a couple of times, I decided to trust him with our project and it could not have gone better. From arranging approvals with my condo corp, working through design changes and material changes with our designer, to scheduling and deploying trades and delivering our finished home on time. It was all seamless and for the most part, hands off for us. We moved in almost one year ago and Marino and Sunnylea are now friends of ours and even came to our housewarming party! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I would highly recommend Sunnylea to anyone that asks!Posted on Google Benjamin GoodmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the beginning, Geno and the Sunnylea team worked collaboratively and effectively with our chosen designer. Along with contributing cost-saving edits, he quickly translated the designer's plans in to a reasonable and accurate quote and schedule for the work. Every worker on the project were experts in their field and were able to provide good explanations and recommendations for challenges. In general, we felt that no corners were cut throughout the process. Geno responded within 24 hours to any question we had. We would absolutely go to Sunnylea for our next project and are happy to recommend them to anyone.Posted on Google Noelem AlforqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geno has managed our construction project professionally and with realistic outcome. He has a specialized team that works independent of each other with attention to fine details.Posted on Google Dr. Sequeira SequeiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marino of Sunnylea Homes was a pleasure to deal with from our first meeting over 18 months ago, until today. His knowledge, professionalism, honesty and responsiveness have never lapsed. I decided to have my condominium stripped to bare walls and cement, and then have it built into a place in which I could work and relax, while wanting for nothing else. Marino handled all phases of the work from demolition, electrical, plumbing, flooring, tiling and painting always in accordance with his initial timeline and also with meticulous finish! My unit has been featured on a House & Home video segment recently, which attests the level of finish he assisted in bringing about. I have utilized his energies and expertise on smaller projects as well. The current one being a renovation of some of the common areas within my Medical Clinic. I would trust both Marino and his various tradesman without question. I could tell they pride themselves in the work they put forward. Thank you to the team for making such a tumultuous endeavor seem painless.Posted on Google Chantal TempletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Geno and his team has been an incredible experience. He has been transparent and flexible at every stage. The teams at the site were professional, courteous to the neighbours and careful in their work. Geno collaborated with my designer at every step and together they made this project beautiful. Highly recommend and would use again without hesitation.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

A full kitchen remodel in Toronto with custom cabinetry typically runs $37,000–$42,000. Budget projects with stock cabinets can come in lower. Higher-end projects with premium stone slabs, custom millwork, or structural changes can exceed $60,000. Toronto runs about 20–25% above the national average due to labor costs and California code requirements.
Yes, consistently. A well-executed kitchen remodel in Toronto typically recoups 60–80% of its cost at resale, and in high-value coastal markets, returns can exceed 90%. Beyond resale value, most homeowners report that the kitchen is the single biggest quality-of-life improvement they’ve made to their home.
Most full kitchen remodels take 6–10 weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Custom cabinet lead times — typically 4–6 weeks — are usually the longest single variable. Projects with structural changes like wall removals may run 10–12 weeks.
Yes, for most full kitchen remodels. Any project involving plumbing changes, electrical work, or structural modifications requires a permit from the City of Toronto or the relevant jurisdiction. We pull all required permits on every project — unpermitted work creates real problems at refinance or sale.
Cabinetry is typically the largest single cost, accounting for 25–30% of the total budget. Labor comes next at 20–30%, followed by countertops, appliances, and flooring. Structural work like moving plumbing or removing a load-bearing wall can add $5,000–$15,000 to the project.Should I remodel my kitchen before selling my house in Toronto? ©2026 Sunset Design And Build
It depends on the condition of the existing kitchen and your price point. In Toronto market, a dated kitchen in a home priced above $800,000 often holds back offers. A targeted update — new cabinetry, countertops, and lighting without a full gut — can be a better return than a full remodel pre-sale. We give honest opinions at the estimate.
