Complete Transformation

Every Room. Every Detail.
One Unified Vision.

A whole home renovation is more than updating individual rooms — it's rethinking how your entire home works together. We redesign layouts, remove walls, restructure flow, and create design cohesion from the front door to the back deck.

Whether you're modernizing a century home in Galt, opening up a 1970s split-level in Kitchener, or completely reinventing a Colonial in Waterloo, our design-build approach means one team manages every trade, every detail, and every decision — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Clients consistently highlight our communication, our attention to detail, and our commitment to finishing on schedule. Those aren't marketing claims — they're the themes that appear in every client review we receive.

What's Included

A Complete Design-Build Scope

01

Structural Redesign

Wall removals, load-bearing beam installations, floor system reinforcement, and layout reconfiguration to create the open, functional spaces modern families need.

02

Kitchen & Bathrooms

Custom kitchens and bathrooms designed as part of the whole — not as afterthoughts. Consistent material palettes, coordinated fixtures, and design continuity throughout.

03

Mechanical Upgrades

New electrical panels, updated plumbing, HVAC replacement or optimization, and smart home integration. The invisible systems that make a home work properly.

04

Flooring & Finishes

Hardwood, engineered wood, tile, and custom staircases. Every surface is selected and installed with design cohesion and durability in mind.

05

Custom Millwork

Built-in shelving, custom trim packages, wainscoting, crown moulding, and interior doors. The details that elevate a renovation from good to exceptional.

06

Exterior & Curb Appeal

Siding, windows, roofing, porches, and landscaping restoration. A whole home renovation should transform the view from the street, not just the view from the couch.

How much does a whole home renovation cost in Ontario?+

Whole home renovation costs in the Kitchener-Waterloo region typically range from $150,000 for a cosmetic refresh to $500,000 or more for a complete gut renovation with structural changes and high-end finishes.

How long does a whole home renovation take?+

A typical whole home renovation takes 5 to 10 months from demolition to completion. Homes requiring extensive structural work or additions may take 8 to 14 months.

Should I renovate or tear down and rebuild?+

This depends on your home's structural condition, budget, and municipal regulations. Renovating is often more cost-effective when the foundation and framing are sound. We can assess your home and advise on the best path forward.
