If you need expanded space, we design and construct seamless additions that suit your home's structure, style, and budget.

Kitchen and Bath Renovations

Minor layout shifts can change how a kitchen functions and a bath performs. We rework work triangles, clear bottlenecks, and align sinks, appliances, and prep zones for effortless flow. You'll get long-lasting surfaces, code-compliant ventilation, and moisture-smart assemblies that handle daily use.

We plan cabinetry with thoughtful storage: pull-out pantries, deep drawers, concealed recycling, and tray dividers. We select countertops and backsplashes for durability and simple upkeep. Our lighting upgrades layer ambient, task, and accent light—dimmable recessed cans, under-cabinet LEDs, and statement pendants—to elevate mood and function.

For bathroom projects, we enhance plumbing layouts, incorporate curbless showers, heated floors, and niche shelving. Water-saving fixtures, quiet fans, and slip-resistant tile improve safety and comfort. We handle permits, timelines, and trades to deliver clean, precise finishes.

Basement Remodeling and Extensions

Once you've optimized kitchens and baths, increasing livable square footage delivers the biggest gains. We plan basement finishing and additions around structural integrity, waterproofing, and code. First, we evaluate moisture, slab level, and foundation—addressing cracks, parging, and managing completed rubble during excavation or underpinning. We install rigid insulation, continuous vapor control, and quiet, decoupled ceilings. Layouts optimize headroom, storage, and zoning for suites, gyms, or media rooms. You'll get bright, safe spaces with egress windows located and sized to meet Ontario Building Code, plus dedicated mechanical ventilation.

For add-ons, we verify load paths, soils, and utilities, then engineer footings, framing, and tie-ins that won't telegraph movement. Expect streamlined permits, precise scheduling, and clean site management. The result: durable, code-compliant square footage that enhances home value.

The Detailed Restoration Process

Although each project is unique, our renovation process follows a clear, established sequence that keeps work on schedule and on budget. We commence with an initial consultation to define goals, scope, and priorities. Next, we benchmark costs and conduct budget alignment so expectations align with real numbers. We record site conditions, measure accurately, and identify constraints early.

We acquire permits, coordinate trades, and stage materials to reduce downtime. During construction, a dedicated project lead manages quality control, daily progress, and safety. We provide weekly updates, track changes in writing, and protect your home. Finally, we conduct walkthroughs, complete punch-list items, and deliver closeout documents and warranties.

Modern Kitchens That Enrich Daily Living

You improve daily efficiency via ergonomic space organization—strategic work stations, appropriate counter levels, and accessible appliance zones. You next choose superior materials that unite resilience and beauty, including quartz surfaces, hardwood or large-format porcelain, and seamlessly integrated hardware. You achieve a kitchen that functions flawlessly under demanding conditions and maintains its contemporary appearance for years.

Ergonomically-Focused Layout Organization

Because every inch is important in a hardworking kitchen, ergonomic layout planning arranges your work zones—prep, cook, clean, and store—so movement is brief, safe, and intuitive. We apply space zoning to separate tasks and reduce cross-traffic, then perform circulation mapping to verify walking paths and sightlines. You'll get optimized work triangles or linear flows tailored to your kitchen's footprint.

We establish counter heights to your reach, define landing zones next to appliances, and calibrate aisle widths: 42 inches for single-cook use, 48 for two. Frequently used items are placed between knee and shoulder height; heavy pots anchor near the cooktop and sink. Corner solutions reclaim dead space, while pull-outs and drawer inserts cut bends and twists. Smart lighting layers address tasks, reduce shadows, and improve accuracy at every station.

Superior Material Selection

Even small material selections determine how your kitchen functions, endures, and tidies day to day, so we select finishes with care. You receive materials that balance resilience, hygiene, and style. We match quartz or sintered stone worktops with continuous profiles, heat-set edging, and minimal-porosity surfaces for simple maintenance. Cabinetry features durable veneers, marine-grade plywood cores, and soft-close hardware validated for cycle counts.

You'll see green finishes—water-based lacquers, ultraviolet-cured coatings, sustainably sourced woods—opted for based on indoor air quality and long-term performance. Flooring may feature wide oak planks with hardwax oil or porcelain that mimics terrazzo without the upkeep.

Lighting features warm-dimming LEDs, guaranteeing true color rendering over preparation areas.

We install solid-brass fixtures, slow-close hardware, and superior membranes behind tile to avoid leaks. Lighting layers—task, ambient, accent—make grooming smooth and soothing. Custom niches and vanities enhance storage without filling your footprint. Thorough waterproofing, sloped pans, and epoxy grout cut maintenance. The result: a serene, functional sanctuary that boosts comfort today and maintains its value for years.
