The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing.

What affects the price of refinance?
The honest answer is that it depends on the specifics. Compare the written scope first, then the price. The specifics vary across Toronto, so confirm them with the provider you hire.
Is Refinancing cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. For Toronto, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote.
How many quotes should I get for refinance?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. Providers serving Toronto can tell you how it affects a typical job.
