RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION
Project Background
We were contacted by a family who had recently purchased a 1980s two-story home in need of major updates. While the structure was solid, the layout was outdated, the finishes were worn, and the home lacked energy efficiency. The family’s goal was to modernize the space, open up the floor plan, and create a home that blended comfort, function, and style.
Initial Assessment & Planning
We began by conducting a full property inspection, identifying areas that required structural attention, such as the aging roof, outdated electrical systems, and water-damaged sections of the basement. At the same time, we worked closely with the family to understand their lifestyle and vision. They wanted open, light-filled spaces, a modern kitchen, additional bathrooms, and a finished basement that could serve as both an entertainment area and guest suite.
Structural & System Upgrades
Before cosmetic updates, we strengthened the home’s foundation by replacing the roof and insulation, upgrading electrical and plumbing systems, and reinforcing the basement with waterproofing for improved efficiency and durability.
Design & Permits
Our design team prepared 3D models and layout options, showing how we could transform the closed-off kitchen and dining rooms into a large, open-concept space. We also added plans for a master ensuite and basement renovation. Once designs were approved, we secured all building permits and ensured everything complied with local codes.
Interior Renovations
Walls were removed to create an open-concept living area with steel beam support, brightening the space. The kitchen received custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and smart storage, while bathrooms were upgraded with modern finishes, walk-in showers, and heated floors. The basement was transformed into a multipurpose space with entertainment, guest, and office areas, featuring durable flooring and ample lighting.
The Outcome
The project took just under 6 months and stayed on budget. The family gained an open, modern home with upgraded systems that improved energy efficiency and functionality. The renovation increased the property’s value by nearly 30%, making it not only a dream home but also a strong investment.
Reflection
This renovation reminded us how much potential older homes hold. By updating structural elements and reimagining the design, we don’t just renovate houses—we breathe new life into them. The greatest satisfaction came when the family said, “It feels like we’re living in a brand-new house, but with all the warmth and character we wanted.”
