What We Can Do For You
Services
Kitchen Renovation
Kitchens are an important part of our daily lives & is a great place to bond & create memories with family & friends.
When the decision is made to renovate it is important to select the right cabinets, counter top & backsplash.
We recommend MDF cabinets if you want painted cabinets or Maple cabinets if you want stained cabinets.
Our preference for counter tops & backsplash is Quartz, however we work with whatever the customer prefers.
Quartz is easy to maintain (do not have to seal) & is uniform in look & feel.
Bathroom Renovation
Bathrooms are one of the most used rooms in your house and an upgrade could have an amazing impact on the value of your home.
Adding a good waterproofing system for your shower will prevent mold or mildew on your drywall.
There are so many designs to select from, walk in shower, tub shower, free standing tub or both walk in shower & free standing tub.
You should check the photo gallery to get some ideas of how your bathroom could look.
Waterproofing Showers
Waterproofing a shower consists of many layers starting with the Oatey shower pan & then Densshield (Drywall).
We then apply three coats of Hydroban (Flextile) water proofing system. There is another method as well called the Schluter system which costs more, however the above system is just as effective.
Stairs
Custom stairs are essential when you’re looking to maximize the profit on your house or for your total enjoyment as well.
Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tiles are great for showers, shower floors, bathroom floors as well as kitchen floors. I would not recommend marble tiles because of the maintenance (need to seal).
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring is a great choice for the entire house. You can select engineered hardwood or solid hardwood, however engineered hardwood does not shrink as much as solid hardwood. Solid hardwood has some great patterns & designs as well as various strengths depending on the type of wood that is selected.
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is a great option for basement floors because it is resilient, water resistant, low maintenance & durable.
Vinyl stairs are also good for your basement stairs.
I would not recommend Vinyl flooring for your main floor because it does not add as much value as hardwood flooring.
Legal Basement Appartment
If you are considering a basement apartment renovation I would always recommend a legal basement apartment for a number of reasons. The plans are prepared and submitted to the applicable municipality by an architect and the appropriate permits are issued. Once the renovation is completed you will be given a certificate by the local fire department.
