I found them on google, they quoted me $3000 for a corian kitchen table - just wondering how reputable they are as I can't seem to find any reviews...

I paid $385k for a 620sf 1br at Pace Condo in May. My assessment recently came in at $435k. The only comparable listings in my building r 2br units for about $499k. Granted those 2brs aren't much bigger than my 1br, it still seems slightly over assessed, no? I'm used to seeing assessments way...

In July, I moved into a new condo and hired a small custom furniture store on Queen/Roncesvalles to build me a concrete kitchen table. I sent the guy a 3d model showing the exact design and dimensions. I referred him to a concrete table at CB2 that I want to match exactly in its texture. He...

For me it's at least $50k if the corner is part of the main living space, but worthless if the bedroom occupies the corner. For a clear view across the city vs looking straight into neighbours 50 feet away, I'd pay about 15-20% more. For a sunny southern exposure instead of a north exposure, I'd...

I had bought the safavieh shag rug online a few years ago and it was much more crudely constructed than expected, impossible to clean, and shed a lot. I'm now looking for something similar, but with finer strips of leather, like in the pic below - something I can at least kinda vacuum Any...

For a small job such as a kitchen island + cabinet refacing... I'm just wondering if it'll be cheaper than using the people at Home Depot...

Sorry to keep asking home renovation questions here, but this truly seems to be the most active forum around lol. Here's a pic of my new kitchen - well the same kitchen in another unit. I rather have this colour of cabinets: Is there a way to lighten the colour of a veneer - short of...

This was way too complex to explain to my parents (whose funds I apparently no longer need in light of a new smaller upfront cost to the assignment purchase), and since I'm a visual person I made a chart for them. Basically, when everyone signed the assignment agreement, no one noticed that...

my living room has a round corner column flanked by a 11 foot long wall of windows on one side and a 22 foot long wall of windows on the other side, all almost floor to ceiling. I want vertical blinds because I love the privacy and quality of light when they're half-open. If they came in 11...

I know it's trendy and cliche, but I want this: I see it in restaurant patios and luxury condo listings, but can't find it in stores. Where do I find these, and how much do they cost?

The kitchen in my new condo has about 2 linear feet of counter space lol. I want 5 more feet, in the form of a fixed island/kitchen table (no cabinets). I'm thinking a white Corian for the top and 2 ends, connected by a wood veneer, as basic as it gets: I'm hoping to keep this around $1000...

I just bought a condo without really checking out the appliances (integrated kitchen yay), but for the washer/dryer it turns out I got the loser combo on the left. I had assumed all new condos would come standard with machines that have windows! What's the price difference between the two...

I also want to strip down a round column and at least one structural wall to concrete. First of all, is this one of those things that the strata needs to approve? Secondly, how much does it cost? I'm assuming the concrete isn't as "presentable" as in some new condos that have...

Hypothetically, if a building is about to close and time is of the essence, if someone makes an unconditional offer on an assignment (where the development fees are capped), is a laywer even necessary? Since no title exists yet?

I'm new to all this and about to make an offer on a $400K condo. Assuming $80K downpayment, how much money do I really need to set aside for all of this? Do you even recommend 20% down, given the low interest rates? Coworkers are telling me to just put 5-10% if possible and invest the rest in...

@ $429K, This seems like a good deal to me, but it's in Regent Park... thoughts? https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Single-Family/16713382/1001---25-COLE-ST-Toronto-Ontario-M5A4M3-Regent-Park floorplan: http://i.imgur.com/42MujgM.png

Not sure if it's worth it on say a $400K/700sf condo, but I'm curious what the premium is for something like in the below pic, vs mid-range stainless steel appliances, vs the basic black appliances on older condos.

What do you think? https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Single-Family/16444238/141-CHRISTIE-ST-Toronto-Ontario-M6G3B3-Annex I can almost afford this dump, but don't have the extra $600K to spend on building a modern custom house... but man it doesn't get closer to a major park, subway station...

Just wondering what member preferences are for condos. For a 1+den around 650sf, would you prefer a) b) c) d) a) -too traditional for my tastes b) -island with half-wall can hide countertop mess while leaving the fancy millwork and built-in appliances visible and preserve open concept...

Why does Oshawa, Pickering, Ajax, etc get all-day train service every 20-30 min even on weekends, at each of their lonely auto-dependent park-and-rides, when Hamilton GO, only 15 min further from Union, located smack in the downtown of the biggest city in Southern Ontario besides Toronto/Ottawa...
