Refresh Your House With Our Renovation Team
There’s no matter what part of your building you’d like to renovate: a bathroom, a kitchen, a garage construction. TOLOKA General Contractor&Builder takes full responsibility for a stable and successful renovation process. Our team of professionals has vast experience in smaller-scale additions, renovations, and home improvement projects.
Commonly, renovation may be interchanged by remodeling. However, these two notions have a slight difference. Renovation means restoring some space/construction/room to a previous state, while remodeling implies creating something new Therefore, living room renovation demands a smaller budget than garage remodeling.
We recommend our customers to ask themselves three questions to understand whether you need to renovate or to remodel a particular place:
- How much do you like your space for now?
- What do you want to change?
- What is your budget?
And now, when you get the essence of further work, it’s time to dig more into various types of renovation and remodeling.

The Whole House Renovation
Dozens of people apply to TOLOKA with a request to renovate their property. And we gladly start such projects, as they make us better and more experienced. But our customers are informed that the whole house renovation requires their ultimate attention and involvement too.
Here is the approximate plan of your future whole house renovation with TOLOKA General Contractor&Builder:
- 1. Decide on the renovation spot
If you already own a building, that’s great. However, if you just consider buying it, it’s essential to look through these points: the surrounding, the outdoor space, potential problem survey, a building report, a measured survey.
- 2. Search for planning permission necessity
It’s always better to check with local authorities what exactly you can do without additional documentation.
- 3. Keep what you like
Sometimes, doors and windows don’t have to be replaced.
- 4. Discuss and state the work schedule
Every step of the renovation process can be customized depending on your needs.
- 5. Provide access to the working site
Observe the best ways to get large machinery to your property.
- 6. Actual work process
- 7. Snagging
The whole house renovation has lots of challenges, and TOLOKA General Contractor&Builder is right here to help you cope with them easily.
Adaptive Reuse As Your Eco-Contribution Into Architecture
Modern world conditions require constant changes. That’s why nowadays, for example, an old government building can be converted into a restaurant. And this is called adaptive reuse (or building reuse). Historic structures that used to be just tourist spots become even more useful.
Adaptive reuse can be an excellent option for you, as:
- High costs are saved
- The more habitable is a building, the less time is spent on construction
- Communities adore reuse projects (if you’re a commercial builder)
To conclude, building reuse is a strong environmental initiative that will make our world better.
Choose What You Like More: Extension or Addition
This is just up to you whether to extend a building or to add more living space.
In the first case, we talk about an extension. This means explicitly adding more rooms to your house and, therefore, extending the overall floor size. However, this type of construction is possible only if you have extra territory around your property.
In the second example, an addition takes place. Again, there’s no need to worry about space, as adding a building implies gaining another floor level. Thus, a house will go up while the extension goes out.
Exclusive Services: Restoration&Refurbishment
The restoration processis realized when a building is recreated to match its previous appearance and function. It’s typically done to get the highest level of authenticity and replication for ancient buildings. There exist some frequent aspects of restoration:
- Installation of new utility systems
- Floor inspection, cleaning and replacing of the damaged parts
- Examination of doors and windows, replacing of the damaged parts
- Replacing of the broken lights and plumbing fixtures
There are times when just a particular part of the interior demands repair. This is called refurbishment. We improve the sustainability of a building using new decor, cleaning the space, reequipping, and retrofitting. Refurbishment is usually related to renovation or restoration. Our expert team suggests considering the following points:
- The current state of the place
- The desired percentage of refurbishment
- Budget
