Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a home renovation cost in New Brunswick?
Costs vary widely by project: kitchen renovations run $15,000-$100,000, bathroom renovations $8,000-$50,000, basement finishing $20,000-$75,000, and whole-home renovations $50,000-$300,000. Exterior work like siding costs $10,000-$40,000 and roofing $8,000-$35,000. NB labour rates are 10-20% below Toronto and Vancouver. Budget a 15-20% contingency for older NB homes.
Do I need a building permit for renovations in New Brunswick?
A permit is required for structural modifications, building additions, new electrical circuits, new plumbing, gas appliance installation, and egress windows. Cosmetic work like painting, flooring, and cabinetry replacement generally does not need a permit. All electrical, plumbing, and gas work must be done by licensed tradespeople and inspected by TSANB.
What renovation adds the most value to an NB home?
Energy efficiency upgrades return 75-100% of investment while qualifying for NB Power rebates. Kitchen renovations return 65-75%, bathroom renovations 60-70%, and exterior improvements 60-80%. Basement finishing returns 50-65% while adding liveable square footage. Focus on projects that address NB-specific concerns like insulation, moisture management, and energy performance.
How do I find a reliable renovation contractor in NB?
Get at least three detailed written quotes from contractors with active WorkSafeNB coverage. Verify TSANB licenses for electricians, plumbers, and gas fitters. Ask for 3+ recent references and call them. Ensure every project over $5,000 has a written contract specifying scope, materials, timeline, and payment schedule. Never pay more than 10-15% as a deposit.
