General
Model Living makes beautiful home renovations affordable and stress-free. We specialize in projects that increase the value of your home – bathroom and kitchen renovations, as well as painting and flooring. For each service, we start with design, helping you select materials that work together functionally and aesthetically by providing expert advice and free samples. For bathroom and kitchen renovations, we work off of our design collections – proprietary designs developed in collaboration with world-class architects and designers. We then pair these high-quality materials with the best trade professionals, and eliminate all of the dealer, franchise and retail markups, to offer you a premium renovation at a mid-market price.
Simply put, Model Living is your direct point of contact throughout your entire project. We provide the estimate, help you choose your finishes, obtain building approvals, select the trade professionals and guarantee the finished outcome.
● Better labour rates: By providing our trade professionals with consistent work and handling all the details of design, planning and material procurement, we’ve been able to negotiate better labour rates.
● Discounted materials: Since we’ve standardized our renovation designs, we buy materials in-bulk directly from the manufacturer and pass the savings along to our customers.
● Lower fees: We operate with less overhead than traditional general contractors, painting and flooring companies and are able to charge substantially lower fees.
All payments can be paid using cheque or any major credit card.
Labour includes raw materials and the cost of each contractor involved in the project. Materials consist of all fixtures, finishes and delivery costs. Finally, our service fee allows us to offer architect-grade designs, 3D renderings, product samples, project insurance, material procurement, project management, and bulk discounts on fixtures and finishes.
Bathrooms
On average, a high-end bathroom renovation in the GTA costs upwards of $20,000 according to the Reno-Assistance 2019 Report. (www.renoassistance.ca/en/bathrooms/what-is-the-cost-of-a-bathroom-renovation)
By standardizing the renovation process, we’re able to build more efficiently, buy materials in bulk and offer designs developed by the industry’s best architects. The result is a premium renovation with an average cost of $10,000, 50% less than the industry average.
The average build time for a Model Living bathroom is 2 to 3 weeks. An accurate timeline will be provided once we’ve completed your home visit and discussed your renovation goals.

Yes. Our kitchen packages are meant to serve as the foundation of our renovations and are designed to be customized by you. Every collection offers multiple options for each fixture and finish, allowing for thousands of possible combinations. All fixtures and finishes included in our design collections work together both aesthetically and functionally to ensure a desirable finished product.
Once you’ve selected your finishes with your project planner, we will prepare a final design rendering to show you what your kitchen will look like. Upon seeing the rendering, you can make as many design changes as you would like. Construction will not commence until you’ve approved your design.
Please note that design renderings are only available for bathroom and kitchen renovations and only 1 is included with your project. Additional renderings are available for purchase at a cost of $200 (plus HST).
Your project planner will bring product samples to the meeting when you select your finishes. Samples can include tiles, wood floors, countertop and cabinet samples, as well as, small metal fixtures. For larger products like stovetops, ovens or refrigerators, please let us know that you are interested in seeing them prior to construction and we will arrange for a time for you to view them.
