Taking on a renovation is daunting enough on its own, not to mention when you\u2019re left to estimate how much the project will cost once complete. In our Common Renovating Costs series, Danny Edell of Toronto-based boutique construction and renovation company True Contractors outlines what you can expect to pay for various home improvements. Next up, we\u2019re shining the light on walls, windows and doors.<\/p>\n

WALLS<\/strong>
\nWhether you\u2019re knocking down old walls, erecting new ones or cosmetically altering existing walls, aesthetics matter. So before you pick up a paintbrush or attempt to hang that expensive pattern-happy wallpaper, consider calling on an expert.<\/p>\n

Painting
\n\u2022 If hiring a professional, the average labour cost is $2 to $3 per square foot.
\n\u2022 For an average-sized room that measures approximately 12\u00d712, a complete paint job will cost between $800 and $1,000 (i.e. basic walls, ceiling and trim). Keep in mind that these prices are subject to the prep work required, such as if the existing paint is oil or latex and needs a primer.<\/p>\n

Wallpaper
\n\u2022 Wallpapering a room, especially if working with heavily patterned designs, is truly an art form \u2013 so it\u2019s worth relying on an expert to ensure a seamless result.
\n\u2022 The average cost for installation is $600 per room (this price will fluctuate depending on the size and shape of the space).
\n\u2022 Wallpaper can range from $60 to $800 per roll, depending on the brand, designer, material and intricacy of the pattern.<\/p>\n

Wainscoting\/Trim
\n\u2022 Wainscoting, trim and other architectural detailing is a terrific way to add texture and character to your living space.
\n\u2022 The typical cost of mouldings and trim is $2 to $3 per linear foot (materials like MDF are more affordable than solid wood options).<\/p>\n

DOORS<\/strong>
\nDoors can also have a tremendous impact on the look and feel of your home (they are a person\u2019s first impression upon entering a space, after all). Whether you\u2019re a modernist, traditionalist or minimalist, a new entrance promises to breathe new life into any room.
\n\u2022 If hiring a professional, installing and trimming a basic interior door will cost between $250 and $300 (this price includes a standard Masonite door and casing).
\n\u2022 Exterior doors are far more pricey, averaging $1,200 to $2,200 \u2013 but prices can increase from there (for instance, a stained fiberglass option can cost upwards of $2,500).<\/p>\n

WINDOWS<\/strong>
\nShiny new windows often come with significant energy savings (say goodbye to unwanted drafts that sneak through old panes and result in heat loss).
\n\u2022 The average price to install, trim and flash a new 5\u00d77 foot window is $1,000 (including supply).
\n\u2022 Prices fluctuate depending on size and material. A small basement window, for instance, will cost around $500. And when it comes to type, vinyl styles are more affordable, while wood, fiberglass and aluminum-clad options tend to be more costly.<\/p>\n
