The best condo renovation ideas are practical, stylish, and compliant with condo rules. Because condo units often have limited square footage, smart design can make a major difference in how the space feels and functions.
Popular condo renovation ideas include:
Updating a condo kitchen with custom cabinetry and modern appliances
Adding a kitchen island where space and condo rules allow
Renovating a bathroom with a modern bathroom layout
Installing new flooring throughout the condo unit
Adding pot lights, recessed lighting, and upgraded lighting fixtures
Creating built-in storage with custom millwork
Applying a fresh coat of paint to brighten the space
Upgrading electrical outlets and fixtures
Replacing dated plumbing fixtures
Improving flow with cosmetic changes or approved structural changes
Creating a more harmonious living environment with cohesive finishes
Thoughtful renovations can help improve the condo’s interior, support resale value, and make the home more enjoyable for daily life.
Most renovations in condo buildings require some level of review. Some cosmetic changes may be simple, while major renovations involving plumbing and electrical, structural changes, shared systems, or common elements may require approval from the condo board, condo corporation, or property manager.
You may need approval for:
Moving plumbing
Electrical systems or electrical outlets
Plumbing fixtures
Structural changes
Changes that affect shared spaces
Flooring changes or soundproofing requirements
Exterior-facing windows or doors
Larger projects that affect building systems
Work requiring a building permit
Deliveries, security deposits, and elevator bookings
Sunnylea Homes helps prepare drawings, documentation, and permit applications so the condo board has what it needs to review the project. This helps ensure compliance with local regulations, building codes, and condo renovation rules.
Condo renovation costs depend on scope, finishes, approvals required, condo board rules, materials, labour, and building restrictions. A simple cosmetic refresh may cost much less than a full condo renovation project involving a kitchen, bathroom, plumbing and electrical upgrades, or structural review.
Potential costs may include:
Design and planning
Building permit fees
Condo board documentation
Security deposits required by the building
Licensed plumber or electrician work
Custom cabinetry and custom millwork
New flooring
Modern kitchen materials
Bathroom upgrades
Lighting fixtures and recessed lighting
Unexpected expenses from hidden conditions
Project management and inspections
We provide a transparent estimate after an initial site visit so you understand potential costs before renovations begin.

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.

Many condo renovations require condo board approval, especially if work affects common elements, plumbing stacks, electrical systems, or exterior-facing windows. Sunnylea Homes helps prepare the documentation, drawings, and permit applications you need and coordinates with your property manager and condo corporation to secure condo board approval.
Necessary permits depend on the scope. Cosmetic work like painting and flooring often needs no permit, while plumbing and electrical changes, removing load-bearing walls, or major renovations usually require building permits and sign-offs from licensed trades. We assess your condo unit and guide you through necessary permits and building codes.
Condo renovation costs vary by scope, finishes, and approvals required. A simple cosmetic refresh is considerably less than a full condo kitchen renovation or major remodel that includes moving plumbing and electrical. We provide a transparent estimate after an initial site visit so you understand potential costs and any condo renovation costs related to condo board rules or permits.
Yes, when the building and permits allow it. Moving plumbing or making structural changes requires coordination with the condo corporation, licensed plumbers, and engineers. We evaluate structural integrity, obtain necessary approvals, and use licensed professionals to ensure safe, compliant work.
Sunnylea Homes plans thorough logistics, including work hours that respect condo rules, protection for shared spaces, delivery management, and communication with building management. We schedule noisy or disruptive work carefully to reduce inconvenience and keep the construction phase organized.
Thoughtful condo renovations, including modern kitchens, bathroom upgrades, improved lighting, and efficient layouts, typically raise resale value and buyer appeal. We focus on durable materials, timeless design, and upgrades that perform well in North York’s condo market.
Timelines depend on scope. Cosmetic updates can be completed in a few days to a few weeks. Full condo remodels or projects requiring permits and condo board approval often take several weeks to a few months. We provide an estimated schedule during planning and keep you updated throughout the construction phase.
Yes. We are licensed, WSIB certified, fully insured, and back our work with a 2-year workmanship warranty to give condo owners confidence in quality and accountability.
Absolutely. Our design-build approach pairs practical design with construction expertise. We offer condo renovation ideas for storage solutions, compact modern kitchens, efficient bathroom layouts, and custom cabinetry to maximize condo living space.
