About Barrie Bathroom Renovations
Barrie Bathroom Renovations is a quote-request service that matches Barrie homeowners with one local bathroom renovation contractor. It is operated by PM Consulting Inc., a marketing company in North Bay run by Paul Meyers. You describe the bathroom once. Paul answers the phone at 705-491-2627, passes the details to one contractor, and that contractor prices the job in writing before any work starts. The homeowner pays this service nothing.
How Barrie Bathroom Renovations works
Four steps run from your first message to a priced scope.
You send one request. A call or the form on the contact page starts it. Room size and what bothers you is enough.
Paul replies within one business day. That reply is the only promise made here, and it comes from a person.
The job goes to one contractor. Not four. Your number reaches a single Barrie-area renovation contractor, so one company calls and books a look at the room.
The contractor writes the quote. Price, scope, and exclusions come from the company doing the labour, signed before demolition.
The services overview shows which of the three kinds of work fits your room. Published Barrie cost ranges give you a bracket before the quote lands.
What you get, and what you do not
The limits matter as much as the benefits, so both lists sit here.
What you get:
- One point of contact. 705-491-2627 reaches Paul Meyers, first question and follow-up alike.
- One contractor, not a bidding list. Your details are not resold, so your evening stays free of sales calls.
- A written quote before work starts. The contractor prices the room after seeing it.
- No charge to the homeowner. Requesting a quote costs nothing, and so does declining it.
What you do not get:
- No price over the phone. Nobody quotes a bathroom sight unseen.
- No crew from this company. Barrie Bathroom Renovations holds no trade licence. The contractor works under a contract signed with you.
- No photo gallery. Nothing is published here that cannot be backed up.
- No work outside three service lines. Full and partial bathroom renovations, shower renovations, and accessible bathrooms are the whole list.
Who does the renovation work
An independent Barrie-area renovation contractor does the labour. Five things are yours to ask for before a deposit changes hands.
A written contract. Ontario's guide to your rights when starting home renovations or repairs states that any renovation contract worth $50 or more must be in writing, and that one signed in your home carries a 10 calendar-day cooling-off period. The same page recommends a down payment of no more than 10 percent, and never paying in full before the work is finished.
Proof of WSIB coverage. A clearance certificate confirms the contractor's account with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board is current, checkable free at wsib.ca. WSIB guidance warns that an uncovered worker injured on your property can expose you to liability.
Proof of liability insurance. Ask for the certificate, check the expiry date, file it.
An ESA-licensed electrical contractor. The Electrical Safety Authority states that only licensed electrical contractors with a valid ECRA/ESA number may do electrical work for hire. A heated floor, a fan on its own circuit, and a vanity receptacle fall under that rule.
A permit where the City of Barrie requires one. The City's residential building permit page lists work on water or sewer systems, new or enlarged door and window openings, and structural changes to walls, beams, or columns as permit work. The contractor applies through the City's APLI portal.
Why this service exists
Two problems sit on opposite sides of one phone line.
A homeowner who wants a bathroom priced calls five companies. Two never call back. One books a visit and cancels. One sends a number with no scope attached. Three weeks go by and the room is unchanged.
The contractor loses the same job from the other side. A voicemail left at 10am gets heard at 7pm, by which time the homeowner has hired somebody else. PM Consulting Inc. builds lead systems for trade contractors, which is how Paul Meyers came to hold this number.
Where to find bathroom renovation help near me in Barrie
Barrie Bathroom Renovations takes requests from anywhere in Barrie, plus Innisfil, Springwater, Oro-Medonte, and Essa.
Requests come from Allandale, Painswick, Holly, Ardagh, Letitia Heights, the East End, Tollendal, and downtown, each with a page in the Barrie Historical Archive. Highway 400 runs below grade through the city, with interchange projects under way at Essa Road and at Dunlop Street.
One local detail changes how fixtures look after a year. The City of Barrie draws on a deep aquifer and on Kempenfelt Bay, and reports hardness of roughly 13 to 20 grains per gallon in groundwater-served areas against 3 to 8 in surface-water-served areas. Glass and chrome in the harder half of the city show scale sooner, so raise it when you pick shower glass.
Next step: call 705-491-2627 or send the quote request with your street and a short description of the room.
About Barrie Bathroom Renovations: frequently asked questions
Does using Barrie Bathroom Renovations cost me anything?
No. Barrie Bathroom Renovations charges the homeowner nothing to send a request, to be matched, or to receive a quote. You pay the contractor for the renovation, under your signed contract.
How many contractors will contact me?
One. Each request goes to a single Barrie-area renovation contractor, so your number is not circulated to bidders. If that company is not a fit, say so and the contact stops there.
Can you tell me what my bathroom will cost?
No figure comes from this service. Published 2026 ranges from third-party guides sit on the Barrie cost page. Your price comes from the contractor in writing, after the room is measured.
Do you handle rooms other than bathrooms?
No. Residential bathrooms are the entire scope: full and partial renovations, shower work, and accessibility changes such as curbless entries and grab bars.
