Can we live at home during a full renovation?

For a main-floor renovation, often yes. For a full gut, most families move out for part or all of the build.

Do you handle design?

We coordinate layout and selections and bring in designers or architects where the project needs them.

What if you find problems behind the walls?

Older homes hold surprises. We price a contingency up front and agree any change in writing before it proceeds.

Do you remove load-bearing walls?

Yes, with an engineer's design, a permit and proper temporary shoring.

How do you keep the budget on track?

Itemised pricing, written change orders and a running budget report in your weekly update.

Who is my point of contact?

One project lead from first visit to final walkthrough.

A full-home renovation reworks layout, systems and finishes in one coordinated project. We manage design, structural changes, permits, every trade and every inspection so you deal with one team and one schedule.

It suits owners of older homes who love the neighbourhood but not the floor plan, and buyers who purchased a dated house to make it their own.
