Renovations, thoughtfully
built.
We build kitchens, baths, basements, and whole homes for owners who care about how a space feels, not just how it looks. Considered craftsmanship, transparent timelines, and finishes that last.

About the studio
A small team for renovations that deserve attention.
The best renovations aren't the loudest. They're the ones where every joint, every reveal, every transition feels considered.
Paste Renovations is a Toronto general contractor focused on residential renovations of all sizes. We handle the work directly, run modest crews, and keep our project load small enough to give each home the attention it needs.
From a single bathroom to a full home, our approach is the same: clear estimates, honest timelines, the right trades, and a finish that holds up.
More about us →What we build
Six core practices,
one approach.
Every renovation we take on lives within these disciplines. We can lead the design, work from your architect's drawings, or pick up a stalled project where it stands.

Read more →How we work
A clear path from first call to keys back.
Renovations rarely fall apart in the building. They fall apart in the planning. Our process is built to catch problems before tools come out.
01
Discovery
We meet at your home, walk the space, understand what's working and what isn't, and listen for what you actually want the renovation to do for daily life.
02
Scope & estimate
We produce a written scope, an itemized estimate, and a realistic schedule. Where finishes drive cost (stone, tile, fixtures), we provide allowances you control.
03
Design & permits
If drawings are needed, we coordinate with architects, designers, and engineers. We submit permits and handle municipal review.
04
Build
Our crew runs the trades, runs the schedule, and runs the site. You get weekly updates, a single point of contact, and a tidy job at the end of every day.
05
Punch & handover
We walk the project with you, build a punch list, complete it, and hand back a finished home with documentation on warranties, paint colours, and fixtures.
Why owners choose us
Calm projects. Honest pricing.
Finishes that hold up.
i.
One project at a time, never spread thin
We keep our project load deliberately small. Our crew shows up daily, not when it can be fit in. Your timeline is the timeline.
ii.
Written estimates, allowances you control
You'll know what you're paying for before we start. Finishes are broken out as allowances so you can spend more or less on tile, plumbing, lighting without surprises elsewhere.
iii.
Trades we trust, on payroll or referred
The plumbers, electricians, tile setters, and finishers on your job have worked with us for years. Their work meets the same standard ours does.
iv.
Permits, inspections, drawings — handled
If your project needs a building permit, electrical inspection, plumbing inspection, or engineered drawings, we coordinate it. You sign documents, we run the rest.
v.
A clean site, every day
Materials stored, tools tidied, floors swept, dust contained. If you're living through the renovation, this matters more than anything else.
vi.
Workmanship warranty
Our work carries a written warranty. If something we built fails, we come back. We expect to, and rarely have to.
