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 renovations and commercial renovations including kitchens, bathrooms, basement finishing, drywall, painting, flooring, decks, demolition, landscaping, electrical coordination, and seasonal services across the GTA.
Which areas do you serve?+
We regularly serve Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Toronto, North York, Mississauga, Scarborough, and nearby Greater Toronto Area communities. If your property is close to these areas, we can review the location with your project details.
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 provide free estimates after understanding the location, scope, timing, and project goals. For larger renovations, a site visit helps us prepare a clearer proposal with assumptions, allowances, exclusions, and next steps.
How much does a renovation cost?+
Cost depends on size, materials, existing conditions, demolition, specialty trades, and finish level. We avoid vague pricing when details matter. Once the scope is reviewed, we provide a written estimate so you understand what is included and what could change.
Do I need permits for my renovation?+
Some renovations require permits, especially structural changes, plumbing changes, basement work, and certain electrical or exterior scopes. We identify 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. Homeowners receive clear updates and know what decisions are needed before each stage moves forward.
Do you work in occupied homes?+
Yes. Many projects 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 discuss project requirements before work begins. If a scope requires licensed specialty trades, we coordinate those responsibilities clearly.
Is your work covered by warranty?+
Warranty expectations are discussed with the scope and materials. Product warranties vary by manufacturer, while workmanship concerns are handled through the final walkthrough and follow-up process defined 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.
