Floor & Bath Design has been renovating homes across Durham Region since 1989. Our showroom sits on Old Kingston Road in Ajax — the centre of our service area — and our crews work regularly in every community from Scarborough to Port Perry, from Pickering's waterfront to Bowmanville's heritage district.

Over three and a half decades, we've developed deep knowledge of Durham Region's housing stock: the post-war bungalows, the 1970s split-levels, the 1990s production homes, the heritage properties, the waterfront homes, the rural farmhouses, and the new builds going up from Seaton to North Oshawa. Each requires a different approach, and we know them all.

Why Durham Region Homeowners Choose Floor & Bath Design

One Team, Start to Finish

We don't subcontract your renovation. Our team handles design, construction, plumbing coordination, electrical, cabinetry, tiling, and finishing. That means one point of contact, consistent quality, and no communication gaps between trades. For a renovation that might involve 15 different tasks, having one team that knows the whole plan is the difference between a smooth project and a stressful one.

35+ Years of Local Knowledge

We've worked with every building department in Durham Region — Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering, Clarington, Scugog, and Toronto (for Scarborough). Each has its own permit processes, inspection schedules, and requirements. We handle all of it. We also know the housing stock: which builders used what methods in which decades, where moisture issues tend to appear, which neighbourhoods have older electrical and plumbing that needs attention, and what buyers in each area expect when renovated homes hit the market.

Design-Build Under One Roof

Our design team includes an interior designer and an architectural specialist. They work with you from the first consultation through material selection, 3D visualization, construction, and final walkthrough. You see your renovation before a single wall comes down. Visit our showroom in Ajax to browse countertop samples, cabinet door styles in dozens of finishes, tile collections, hardware, and fixture displays.

Flexible Budget Options

Durham Region homeowners have diverse budgets, and we work across all of them. Our pre-fab kitchen installations deliver premium quality at 30–40% less than fully custom cabinetry — ideal for maximizing impact without maximizing cost. For targeted upgrades, we help prioritize which improvements deliver the highest ROI. For premium projects with no compromises, our custom design-build service delivers exactly that.

Durham Region's Renovation Market

Durham Region real estate has matured significantly over the past decade. Home values have appreciated, buyer expectations have risen, and the gap between renovated and unrenovated homes has widened. A quality kitchen renovation in Durham Region typically returns 70–85% at resale, while bathrooms return 60–75%. Renovated homes sell 2–3 weeks faster on average.

But resale isn't the only reason to renovate. Most of our clients are renovating to enjoy their homes — a kitchen that works for their family, a bathroom that feels like a retreat, a basement that adds real living space. Durham Region's strong fundamentals mean your renovation investment is well-protected regardless of when you decide to sell. How a kitchen remodel increases your home's value.
