Frequently asked questions.

Do you handle permits and drawings, or do I need to hire someone separately?

We coordinate permits and work from architectural drawings when required. If drawings are needed for your project, we can work with existing plans or coordinate with qualified professionals to ensure everything is properly prepared and approved before construction begins. Our role is to manage the process so you don’t have to coordinate multiple parties.

Can I live in my home during the renovation?

In many cases, yes. For smaller projects or renovations done in stages, clients often stay in their home. For larger, full-home or kitchen projects, we’ll discuss timelines and living arrangements up front to make the process as smooth as possible.

How long does a typical renovation take?

It depends on the scope. A bathroom can take 2–4 weeks, a kitchen about 3–5 weeks, and full-home renovations may take several months. We’ll give you a detailed timeline before we start, and keep you updated throughout the build.

What areas do you service?

We proudly serve homeowners across Halton, Peel, and the Greater Toronto Area, including Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, and nearby communities.

Can you work with my designer or architect?

Yes. We regularly work alongside designers and architects or build directly from existing architectural drawings. We coordinate closely with your professionals to ensure plans are executed accurately, timelines stay on track, and construction runs smoothly from start to finish.

How much does a renovation typically cost?

Costs vary based on the size and complexity of the project. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after an initial consultation and site visit so you know exactly what to expect—no guesswork or hidden fees.

Do you offer warranties on your work?

Yes. All of our work is backed by a comprehensive five-year workmanship warranty, giving you peace of mind long after the project is complete.

What kind of materials and finishes do you use?

We use high-quality, durable materials that suit your style and budget. From premium fixtures to long-lasting flooring, we’ll help you select finishes that look great and hold up over time.

How involved do I need to be during the project?

We handle the full project management, but you’re kept in the loop every step of the way. You'll receive regular updates, and we’ll always check in before any key decisions are made.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend reaching out at least 2–4 weeks before your ideal start date. Our schedule can fill up quickly, especially in peak seasons like spring and fall.

Do you provide free estimates?

Yes. We offer complimentary consultations where we review your space, discuss your goals, and provide a clear estimate based on the scope of work.

Can I make changes once the project has started?

We understand that ideas evolve. Minor changes are usually manageable, but we’ll always review the impact on timeline and cost before moving forward.

What types of homes do you work on?

We work on all types of residential properties—condos, townhomes, semi-detached, and detached homes. Whether it’s a modern build or a century-old house, we have the experience to handle it.

Are your trades licensed and insured?

Yes. All of our trades are fully licensed, insured, and meet Ontario’s building and safety standards. We only work with professionals we trust.

Do you help with material selections and sourcing?

Yes. We assist with material coordination and sourcing based on your preferences and approved plans. We help review options, coordinate ordering, and manage deliveries to ensure materials align with the project scope and stay on schedule.

How does PlusOne Build approach renovations and construction projects?

PlusOne Build is a build-focused renovation firm that manages projects from early planning through construction and completion. We handle construction execution, trade coordination, scheduling, and on-site oversight. When drawings or architectural plans are required, we work from approved documentation or coordinate with qualified professionals, while maintaining full responsibility for the build process.

Do you handle legal renovations?

Yes. We complete renovations in compliance with applicable building codes and permit requirements. When required, we work with architectural drawings prepared in-house to support permitting, layout changes, and structural work, ensuring the project is properly documented and built to standard.

How do payments work?

Payments are typically broken into stages based on project milestones. We’ll outline the full payment schedule in your contract so you always know what to expect.

What happens if something unexpected comes up during the project?

Renovations sometimes uncover hidden issues (like behind-the-wall damage), but we’ll flag anything immediately and walk you through your options before moving forward. No surprise decisions or costs.

Will someone be on-site managing the project?

Yes. Each project has a dedicated site lead or project manager who oversees the work, coordinates trades, and serves as your main point of contact throughout the build.

Do you clean up after the project is complete?

Yes. We leave your home clean, safe, and move-in ready. Every project includes full site cleanup and debris removal so you can enjoy your space right away.

Can you help with smaller projects or just large renovations?

We take on projects of all sizes. Whether it’s a full home remodel or a single bathroom update, we approach every job with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Do you offer services in condos or only houses?

Yes, we also work in condos. We’re experienced with condo board rules, noise restrictions, and scheduling, and we’ll handle any necessary approvals or building access requirements.

What makes Plus One Build different from other contractors?

PlusOne Build delivers a design-driven renovation look without the added cost of a traditional design service. We combine hands-on construction experience with organized project management, clear communication, and attention to detail to deliver refined results efficiently. Every project is managed with care, transparency, and a focus on quality execution.
