What it typically costs
Whole-home renovations vary widely with scope, but typically run $100,000–$250,000+, often combining kitchen, bathroom, and structural work across multiple rooms on a phased timeline.
Local note: the Town of Richmond Hill requires permits for structural changes, plumbing and electrical relocation, and multiple inspections across the project timeline — factor inspection timelines into your schedule.

What Richmond Hill homes are actually like
Richmond Hill's housing stock is a mix of established subdivisions from the 80s and 90s around Bayview Hill and Mill Pond, alongside newer construction near Oak Ridges. Older homes here often need wiring, plumbing, or layout brought up to current code before any cosmetic work starts.
Should I renovate in phases or all at once?
If you're living in the home during the work, phasing it (kitchen first, then bathrooms, for example) is usually more livable, though it can end up costing slightly more than one coordinated renovation.
