Bathroom renovations in Vaughan and Toronto, including showers, tile, vanities, plumbing coordination and complete interior finishing.
15+ Years Experience • Dust-Free Process
Fully Insured • Photo Estimates Available
Tile and grout are finishes, not waterproofing. We plan shower membranes, corners, seams, niches, benches, curbs, transitions, and drains before the first tile is installed.
A bathroom has to fit real movement. We check door swing, vanity depth, toilet clearance, shower glass, towel storage, niche placement, lighting, and cleaning access.
Bathroom renovations involve demolition, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, trim, paint, fixtures, and cleanup. The order matters.
We protect finished homes with dust control, floor protection, contained demolition, disposal planning, and cleanup so the project does not spread through the house.
Fans, timers, insulation gaps, window areas, waterproof substrates, silicone joints, and paint choice all affect how the bathroom holds up after daily showers.
A proper quote should separate labour, tile, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, vanity, counters, glass, fixtures, heated floors, disposal, and exclusions.
A bathroom page should say how showers, niches, benches, curbs, and floors are protected. We plan membrane details before tile goes in.
Condo bathrooms may need board approval, elevator bookings, noise windows, plumbing stack coordination, insurance paperwork, and controlled disposal.
Old bathrooms often hide water damage, uneven framing, weak subfloors, poor ventilation, and out-of-square walls. The estimate should explain how hidden issues are handled.
Bathrooms need GFCI protection, safe lighting, fan capacity, timer controls, heated floor wiring, mirror lighting, and practical switch locations.
Shower glass is usually measured after tile. Vanities, valves, faucets, drains, toilets, mirrors, and tile should be confirmed early so the schedule does not stall.
A bathroom is not done when the tile is set. Caulking, trim, paint, mirrors, accessories, glass, fixture testing, grout cleanup, and punch list work decide the final result.
Best for paint, mirror, lighting, faucet, toilet, vanity, accessories, silicone, and small tile repairs when the existing layout and waterproofing can stay.
Best for new vanity, toilet, tub or shower, tile, waterproofing, exhaust fan, fixtures, lighting, and clean finish work without major layout changes.
Best when the bathroom needs demolition to framing, new plumbing, new electrical, subfloor repair, waterproofing, tile, glass, vanity, tub, toilet, fixtures, and paint.
Best when a bathtub is rarely used and the household wants easier entry, better glass, a bench, a niche, safer fixtures, or a larger shower feel.
Best when work must follow building rules, plumbing stack limits, elevator bookings, noise windows, disposal rules, and board approval requirements.
Best when planning grab bars, blocking, curbless entries, wider clearances, hand showers, comfort-height toilets, slip-resistant tile, and better lighting.
Best for a bathroom that already has a sound layout, working plumbing, and no waterproofing problems.
Best for a full refresh with new tile, vanity, plumbing fixtures, lighting, ventilation, and a finished shower or tub area.
Best for primary ensuites, curbless showers, custom glass, freestanding tubs, premium tile layouts, plumbing moves, and detailed finishing.
Best for condos, high-rises, accessible updates, basement bathrooms, or projects with strict building rules and trade coordination.

Popcorn ceilings
WOW! Just WOW! Max removed all the popcorn from our 1800 sq ft town home, repainted from top to bottom plus did some carpentry repairs on our floors…and the final result is spectacular! But just as important, he made the entire renovation painless for us: not only was the process completely dust free and mess free, but Max also moved ALL the furniture and pictures himself (no help from us at all) then put EVERYTHING back together the way it was. We literally walked out of our home before he started and then walked back in a couple of weeks later to a beautiful brand new home with everything in the exact same place as it was beforehand. Renovating doesn’t not get better than this!!!

Stairs & railings
Max and his team at Strataline have done multiple home improvement projects for us, including stair refinishing, popcorn ceiling removal, new flooring and interior painting. From the start their team was professional and punctual. The stair refinishing completely transformed the look of our home. The popcorn ceiling removal was done cleanly and efficiently with great attention to minimize dust and mess. The team delivered on time and with no surprise budget increases. I would definitely recommend Max and his team at Strataline.

Popcorn ceilings
The Popcorn removal was excellent and a very clean process. They also transformed our stairs from boring oak to a much more modern look. They handled repainting of the whole house and replacement of old tile floors with a beautiful new one. There were many additional small tasks which they handled very well. They have design skills if you need them. The house looks great. Very talented and reliable people. I should also say they are very professional providing detailed quotations and billing.

Popcorn ceilings
This is the second time Max has done some work at our home. The first time was to remove popcorn from our hallway ceilings. We were so very impressed with the results and it was truly dust-free. This time Max removed wallpaper and prepared those walls for painting. He painted several other areas as well and sanded and reapplied urethane on all our new doors. And again it was dust-free! He and Galina are superb craftsmen. Their attention to the smallest of details speaks volumes of the pride they take in their work. A quality that is difficult to find these days. We highly recommend Strataline. Thank you Max and Galina. We will be calling again for the next project. Ilene and Mario, Maple

Painting
My wife and I used the services to paint our entire condo, including the ceilings, walls and baseboards. In addition, they installed new kick boards under our kitchen island, counters and in the bathrooms. The quality of the painting was excellent, but what really stood out was how clean they kept everything. Their dust control was outstanding, and they left our condo spotless at the end of the job. We truly appreciated the care they took to protect our home throughout the entire project. We highly recommend Strataline and will not hesitate to use their services again.

Special care was taken to keep our living area clean and dust free as renovations were taking place. We’re very pleased with end result and will definitely recommend him!
FAQ
We handle full bathroom renovations, ensuite renovations, powder rooms, basement bathrooms, condo bathrooms, tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers, curbless showers, heated floors, custom vanities, tile, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, lighting, mirrors, glass, fixtures, painting, and cleanup.
Cost depends on size, demolition, waterproofing, tile format, plumbing changes, electrical work, vanity, counters, fixtures, glass, heated floors, ventilation, and hidden damage. A cosmetic update costs much less than a full gut renovation with custom glass, curbless entry, or layout changes.
A straightforward bathroom can take one to three weeks once materials are on site. Larger ensuites, condos, curbless showers, heated floors, custom vanities, special-order tile, glass, or plumbing moves can take longer.
Cosmetic work usually does not need a building permit, but plumbing relocation, structural changes, new drains, new electrical circuits, basement bathrooms, or condo requirements may trigger permits, inspections, or building approval.
Often yes. Condo boards may require contractor insurance, WSIB, work hours, elevator booking, disposal rules, plumbing stack limits, acoustic underlay, waterproofing details, and written renovation forms before demolition starts.
Waterproofing. Tile, grout, and silicone are finishes, not waterproofing. A proper shower needs the right backer, membrane, seams, corners, drain connection, curb or entry detail, niche detail, bench detail, and flood testing where appropriate.
We can work with recognized waterproofing systems such as Schluter and Laticrete when the scope calls for them. The key is using the system correctly from substrate to seams, corners, drain, niche, curb, and tile setting.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are common when a bathtub is rarely used or entry is difficult. We review drain location, valve location, waterproofing, glass, slope, niche, bench, grab-bar blocking, and whether a curbless or low-curb design is practical.
Often, but it depends on floor structure, joist direction, drain location, slope, waterproofing, door clearances, and finished floor height. Curbless showers require more planning than standard shower bases.
A walk-in shower usually means a larger shower with glass access and no tub. A curbless shower has no raised curb at the entry, so the floor slope and waterproofing must be planned with extra care.
Heated floors are worth considering in primary bathrooms, basement bathrooms, and tiled bathrooms where comfort matters. They need electrical planning, thermostat placement, floor sensor placement, and compatible floor assemblies.
Yes. Small bathrooms need careful vanity depth, toilet clearance, shower glass swing, door swing, mirror size, storage, lighting, tile scale, and ventilation. The best small bathrooms feel planned, not crowded.
Yes. Basement bathrooms may involve concrete cutting, drain rough-ins, ejector pumps, venting, waterproofing, framing, insulation, ceiling height, and moisture control. The scope depends on existing plumbing and slab conditions.
Yes. Accessible updates can include blocking for grab bars, curbless or low-curb showers, hand showers, bench seats, comfort-height toilets, wider clearances, slip-resistant tile, better lighting, and easier storage.
The usual delays are late tile, custom glass timing, vanity lead times, hidden water damage, plumbing surprises, condo approvals, permit requirements, out-of-square framing, and product decisions made after demolition.
Yes. Keeping the same toilet, shower, tub, and vanity locations usually reduces cost and disruption. A layout change can improve function, but it needs plumbing, electrical, framing, and finish review.
Change the layout when the current bathroom has poor clearances, wasted space, bad storage, unsafe tub access, awkward shower glass, poor lighting, or a vanity that blocks daily use.
Old bathrooms can hide rotten subfloors, water-damaged drywall, failed waterproofing, loose tile, mold, undersized fans, ungrounded electrical, poor framing, leaking valves, and uneven floors.
Yes. We remove damaged material, identify the source where possible, rebuild sound substrates, improve waterproofing, and finish the bathroom so the same failure is less likely to return.
We can coordinate shower valves, drains, supply lines, vanity plumbing, toilet flanges, tub drains, shutoffs, and rough-ins. Plumbing scope should be clear before tile and fixtures are ordered.
Yes. Bathroom electrical may include GFCI protection, dedicated circuits, heated floor wiring, fan controls, vanity lights, pot lights, LED mirrors, switches, and safe fixture placement.
Very important. Poor ventilation causes condensation, paint failure, mildew, swelling trim, and odours. We review fan capacity, duct path, timer control, door undercut, and moisture-prone corners.
Yes. Exhaust fans should be sized properly, vented outdoors, and controlled by a switch, timer, or humidity control. Venting into an attic or ceiling cavity is not a proper solution.
Porcelain is a strong choice for floors and showers because it is durable and low maintenance. Natural stone can be beautiful but needs more sealing and care. Slip resistance matters on wet floors.
Yes. Large-format tile needs flatter walls and floors, careful layout, leveling, proper mortar coverage, and clean cuts. It can look modern, but prep quality becomes more visible.
The right grout depends on tile, joint width, colour, and maintenance expectations. Epoxy and high-performance grouts can resist staining better, but installation and cleanup must be done carefully.
They can if poorly built. Niches need proper framing, slope, waterproofing, corners, seams, and tile layout. A niche should be planned before waterproofing, not improvised after.
A bench can be useful for comfort, accessibility, and shaving, but it adds waterproofing complexity. It needs slope, solid support, proper membrane work, and practical size.
Yes. Frameless glass is measured after tile is complete. Wall plumb, curb slope, tile layout, glass height, door swing, hardware finish, and splash control all affect the final result.
Custom vanity makes sense when the room is narrow, plumbing is awkward, storage needs are specific, or the finish must match the rest of the home. Standard vanities are faster and often less costly.
Quartz is common because it is durable, consistent, and easy to clean. Natural stone, porcelain, and solid surface can also work depending on style, budget, and maintenance expectations.
Yes. Storage can come from vanity drawers, recessed medicine cabinets, linen towers, niches, shelves, tall cabinets, mirror cabinets, and better use of wall depth.
Choose finishes based on the room style, maintenance expectations, water spotting, and matching hardware. Chrome is durable and easy to match; black and brass need more careful product coordination.
Yes. Powder rooms are small but detailed. Wallpaper, feature lighting, vanity choice, mirror scale, wall repair, ventilation, and crisp paint or trim work make a big difference.
Yes. We plan floor protection, dust control, disposal, working hours, water shutoffs, temporary access, and daily cleanup for occupied homes. It helps if another bathroom remains usable.
Choose fixtures early, clear the bathroom, plan alternate bathing, confirm building rules, protect nearby items, and send photos of the room, plumbing wall, electrical panel, access path, and any damage.
It should include demolition, protection, disposal, framing, waterproofing, tile, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, vanity, counters, glass, fixtures, paint, cleanup, exclusions, allowances, timing, and warranty terms.
