As the cold weather arrives, the lucky few who can afford it may look forward to a vacation home getaway, a place dedicated to comfort and relaxation. On a winter evening, what could be better than a cozy fireplace, surrounded by good company, as well as an all-white landscape visible through the windows?

In Canada, in 2026, the cost of renovating a walk-in shower generally ranges from $5,000 to $9,000 for a standard project, including materials and labour. For a high-end installation with premium materials, a linear drain, custom glass panels or built-in niches, costs can exceed $12,000. The final price depends mainly on the complexity of the waterproofing system, the choice of tile, the preparation of the subfloor and any required plumbing changes. For this type of project, it is recommended to hire a qualified contractor and, where applicable, licensed plumbing or electrical professionals to ensure the work complies with local building codes.

In 2026, across Canada, a typical kitchen bump-out (or micro-extension) often falls between $30,000 and $70,000, depending on structural complexity and region. The cost per square foot generally ranges from $300 to $700, which is higher than for larger extensions due to fixed costs (engineering, mobilization). This estimate includes structure, foundation (often helical piles), high-performance insulation suited to Canadian climates, and interior finishing. While the price per square foot is higher than new construction, compared to a full multi-storey addition (often $150,000+), a micro-extension limits overall budget impact while addressing a specific space constraint.
