Home Renovations in Pickering, Ontario

Floor & Bath Design has been renovating Pickering homes since 1989. From the waterfront properties along Frenchman's Bay to the executive homes in West Shore, the mature neighbourhoods of Liverpool and Dunbarton, and the new communities in Seaton — we know Pickering's housing stock across every era and every price point.

Our showroom in neighbouring Ajax is just minutes away, and our crews have been working Pickering streets for over three decades. One team handles everything from initial design through final walkthrough — no subcontractor juggling, no communication gaps.

Pickering's Housing Landscape

Pickering's residential mix creates distinct renovation opportunities depending on where you live:

• Frenchman's Bay & Lakefront — Waterfront properties with stunning views but specific renovation challenges. Kitchens and bathrooms here need materials that handle higher humidity and exposure. Layouts should maximize sightlines to the water. We've completed multiple lakefront projects where ventilation strategy and material durability are as important as aesthetics.
• West Shore & Liverpool — Established executive homes from the 1980s–1990s. The most common project: modernizing kitchens with open-concept conversions, quartz countertops replacing dated granite or laminate, and updated cabinetry. Master ensuite upgrades — walk-in showers replacing jetted tubs, double vanities, heated floors — are the #1 bathroom request.
• Dunbarton & Rouge Park — Mature family neighbourhoods with well-built 1970s–1990s homes. These properties have excellent bones but typically need updated kitchens (opening up closed galley layouts), bathroom modernization, and basement finishing. The ROI on renovation is strong here because purchase prices remain reasonable relative to post-renovation values.
• Bay Ridges — A mix of townhomes and detached homes near the waterfront. Space-maximizing renovations are key — custom cabinetry that uses every inch, multi-functional islands, and smart storage solutions that make modest footprints feel larger.
• Seaton & North Pickering — Newer developments with contemporary open-concept layouts but builder-grade finishes. Homeowners here are replacing basic countertops with quartz, upgrading cabinet hardware and doors, adding backsplash tile, and personalizing bathrooms. Pre-fab kitchens are popular — premium look, weeks instead of months.

Renovation Services in Pickering

Kitchen Renovations

Pickering's kitchen renovation needs span the full spectrum: waterfront homes wanting view-maximizing layouts, established homes needing open-concept conversions, and newer builds upgrading builder-grade finishes. We handle everything — structural modifications, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and appliance integration. Premium appliance packages (professional-grade ranges, built-in refrigeration, wine storage) are especially common in West Shore and Liverpool. Compare kitchen layout options.

Bathroom Renovations

From basic tub-to-shower conversions to full luxury ensuite retreats with walk-in showers, freestanding soaker tubs, and heated floors. Pickering homes built before 1990 often have compact 5×8 bathrooms with aging ventilation and plumbing — we address both the visible finishes and the infrastructure behind the walls. Waterfront properties get specialized ventilation to manage lakeside humidity. Learn about renovation vs. remodeling.

Basement Renovations

Pickering basements add significant living space. We build finished basements, rec rooms, home offices, guest suites, and home theatres. Properties near the waterfront and low-lying areas require extra attention to moisture management — we assess and address drainage issues before finishing. Walkout basements (common in Bay Ridges and parts of West Shore) get seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.

Pickering Home Values & Renovation ROI

Pickering has seen strong real estate appreciation, particularly in established neighbourhoods close to the GO Transit station and waterfront. Quality kitchen renovations return 70–85% at resale, bathrooms 60–75%, and renovated homes sell measurably faster. For homeowners planning to sell within 2–5 years, kitchens and bathrooms deliver the highest impact on both buyer perception and appraised value.

Most of our Pickering clients, though, renovate to enjoy their homes — not to flip them. A kitchen that works for your family, a bathroom that feels like a retreat, a basement that gives everyone their own space. The resale bonus is exactly that: a bonus.
