FAQ
Clear answers before the first site visit.
Renovation decisions are easier when the basics are explained plainly. These answers cover the questions homeowners ask most often.

What renovation services does McAze provide?+
McAze handles home and light commercial renovation work, including kitchens, bathrooms, basement finishing, drywall, painting, flooring, decks, demolition, landscaping, electrical coordination, and seasonal property services across the GTA.
Which areas do you serve?+
We regularly work in Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Toronto, North York, Mississauga, Scarborough, and nearby Greater Toronto Area communities. If your property is just outside those areas, contact us with the address and project details so we can confirm availability.
How long does a renovation usually take?+
Timelines depend on the scope, site conditions, materials, permits, and trade coordination. A small bathroom update may take far less time than a basement finishing or main-floor renovation. After the site review, we provide a practical schedule before work is booked.
Do you provide free estimates?+
Yes. We can start with a free estimate after learning the location, scope, timing, and goals. For larger renovations, a site visit is usually the best way to prepare a useful proposal with assumptions, allowances, exclusions, and next steps.
How much does a renovation cost?+
Renovation cost depends on size, materials, existing conditions, demolition, specialty trades, and finish level. We avoid giving one-size-fits-all pricing when details matter. Once the scope is reviewed, we provide a written estimate showing what is included and what could change.
Do I need permits for my renovation?+
Some projects need permits, especially structural changes, plumbing changes, basement work, certain electrical scopes, and some exterior work. We flag permit considerations early and explain the practical path before the schedule is finalized.
Can you help with design and material choices?+
Yes. We can help homeowners compare practical material options, finishes, layouts, durability, maintenance, and budget impact. The goal is to make selections that look good and perform well in the way the space is actually used.
Who manages the project?+
McAze coordinates the renovation scope, schedule, communication, site protection, and trade handoffs. You will know what is happening, what decisions are needed, and what stage comes next before the work moves forward.
Do you work in occupied homes?+
Yes. Many renovations happen while homeowners continue living in the property. We plan access, dust control, material storage, working areas, and daily cleanup so the disruption is managed as carefully as possible.
How do you protect the home during construction?+
We plan protection based on the scope, including floor covering, dust-conscious work habits, controlled demolition, organized materials, and daily cleanup. Renovations are still disruptive, but the site should feel managed and respectful.
Are you insured?+
McAze carries appropriate coverage for renovation work and can review project requirements before work begins. If a scope requires licensed specialty trades, those responsibilities are identified clearly in the planning stage.
Is your work covered by warranty?+
Warranty expectations are discussed with the scope and selected materials. Product warranties vary by manufacturer, while workmanship concerns are handled through the final walkthrough and the follow-up process agreed for the project.
How are payments handled?+
Payment structure depends on project size and schedule. Smaller work may be simpler, while larger renovations usually use deposits and progress payments tied to milestones. The payment plan is documented before work starts.
Can you handle both residential and commercial renovations?+
Yes. McAze supports homeowners and light commercial clients with practical renovation work, including interiors, finishes, repairs, flooring, painting, drywall, and coordinated improvement projects.
What happens during the final walkthrough?+
We review the finished work with you, note any deficiencies or touchups, answer care questions, and confirm the next steps. This helps close the project cleanly instead of leaving details unclear.
