Services

Built like it's our own

The standards we hold on our own homes are the ones we bring to yours — same care from the first walkthrough to the final one, and a straight answer on scope, timing and budget before any work starts.

01

Kitchens

Full remodels that work as hard as your household does

The kitchen is where the day happens, so we build it to work as hard as you do. We take on everything from layout changes and custom cabinetry to counters, lighting and finishes — planned around how you actually cook, gather and live.

What's included

  • Layout and design consultation
  • Custom and semi-custom cabinetry
  • Countertops, sinks and fixtures
  • Lighting, tile and finish work

Bathrooms

Complete renovations, from rough-ins to fixtures

From a tired main bath to a complete ensuite, we handle the whole job: plumbing rough-ins, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and ventilation. Built to code, built to last, and detailed so it stays looking sharp.

What's included

  • Complete demolition and rebuild
  • Plumbing rough-ins and fixture installation
  • Waterproofing and tile work
  • Lighting, vanities and ventilation

Basements

Real living space out of square footage you already own

An unfinished basement is the cheapest square footage you'll ever add. We frame, insulate, drywall, wire and finish the space properly — egress, ceiling height and moisture control handled right the first time.

What's included

  • Framing and insulation
  • Drywall, taping and paint
  • Egress windows and code compliance
  • Flooring, trim and final finishes

Flooring

Hardwood, laminate, vinyl and tile — installed level and clean

New floors change how a whole home feels. We install hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl and tile — subfloor prepped, levelled and finished clean, with transitions and trim handled as part of the job, not an afterthought.

What's included

  • Hardwood, laminate, vinyl and tile
  • Subfloor repair and levelling
  • Underlayment and transitions
  • Baseboards, trim and stair work

Outdoor living

Decks, patios and covered spaces built for real use

Your yard should work as hard as your living room. We design and build decks, patios and covered spaces sized for how you actually use them — cooking, lounging, and making the most of a short Ottawa Valley summer.

What's included

  • Custom decks and pergolas
  • Patios and stone work
  • Railings, stairs and lighting
  • Permit drawings where required

Additions

More room without leaving the home you love

When you need more room but love where you live, an addition is the answer. We handle the full scope — permits, foundation, structural framing and blending the new space into your existing home so it looks like it was always there.

What's included

  • Permits and engineering coordination
  • Foundations and structural framing
  • Rooflines tied into the existing home
  • Interior finishing to match

Garages

From simple storage to heated workshops

A garage adds storage, workspace and shelter — and a well-built one adds value. From simple single-car builds to heated, wired workshops with lofts, we take care of site work, foundations, framing and finishes.

What's included

  • Site prep and foundations
  • Framing, roofing and siding
  • Doors, windows and electrical
  • Detached and attached builds

I had a wonderful experience with Jason and his team. They were professional in the quoting process and fairly priced. I didn't have to wait too long to have the work done on our powder room. When they came to do the work they were very tidy and on time. The end result of my powder room is sensational! It changed the entire feel of my bathroom and I would highly recommend this company. I will be calling them again next year to do another project!
