WHAT AFFECTS THE PRICE
Why quotes vary.
SCOPE & SIZE
The bigger the job, the wider the range
- Square footage, number of rooms, or units involved.
- Whether existing work needs to be removed first.
- Materials you choose — standard vs. premium.
LOCATION & TIMING
Where and when matters too
- Labour rates vary city to city across Canada.
- Rush jobs or after-hours work often cost more.
- Permits or inspections can add to the total.
