Artifex Reno
Renovation is a trade. We treat it like one.
Artifex Reno is run by Nazar Popov, a craftsman trained in the European tradition, based in Mississauga and working across Toronto and the GTA. No sales layer, no rotating subcontractors. The person who quotes your project is the person responsible for how it's built.

What We Build
Four disciplines, one standard.
Bathroom Transformations
Full gut-to-finish bathrooms: waterproofing done right, tile set level, fixtures that don't wiggle in a year.
Custom Carpentry & Millwork
Built-ins, panelling, trim, and cabinetry made to the millimetre, not "close enough."
Structural Interiors
Wall removals and reconfigurations with the engineering handled properly and permits respected.
Full-Scale Remodeling
Whole-floor and whole-home renovations delivered under one accountable roof.
Why Our Work Lasts
Most contractors hope you never look under the tile.
We photograph it. Every wet area gets a full Schluter waterproofing system, every floor gets uncoupling membrane, and every tile goes down on a leveling system before a single finished surface is visible. The same standard carries into the work most renovators won't touch: custom cedar saunas, full-height stone slabs, and built-in millwork cut to the millimetre. This is the part of the job you're actually paying for.
Beyond The Bathroom
Saunas. Slabs. Custom millwork.
Custom cedar saunas, book-matched stone slabs, and built-in millwork, designed, built, and installed by the same crew that does the waterproofing. One team, one standard, from the studs to the last piece of trim.

Straight Answers
What homeowners ask first.
What does a renovation cost?
Every project gets a fixed written quote after a walkthrough — materials, timeline, and price in writing before work starts. The number you approve is the number you pay. No vague ballparks, no allowances that balloon later.
How long will it take?
You'll have the exact schedule in your written scope before demolition starts, and one crew sees it through — no waiting weeks for the next subcontractor to show up.
Do you handle permits and engineering?
Yes. Where structural work needs permits or stamped drawings, we arrange them. If a wall is coming out, it comes out with an engineer's sizing, not a guess.
Can we live at home during the work?
In almost every case, yes. Dust control, daily cleanup, and a site kept in order — a renovation shouldn't mean moving out of your own house.
