Whole-home renovations in Ottawa

When several rooms change at once, the schedule is the project. Walls come down, services get rerun and every trade needs the one before it to finish. We build one plan for the whole house so the work flows from room to room.

Older Ottawa homes often hide surprises behind plaster and under floors. We plan for that with you before work starts and talk it through when something turns up.

Good to know

Can we do it in stages?

Yes. We can split a larger plan into phases that fit your budget and your life, as long as each phase leaves the house in good shape.

What about older houses?

We look for what is behind the walls before we price it, and we agree up front how surprises are handled.
