Old Ottawa South – Kitchen & Dining Room Renovation

We overcame challenges as the home was originally built with radiant heating pipes installed throughout the exterior walls that constantly froze, so we replaced radiant heating pipes throughout the house and installed them within the floor and interior wall cavities, keeping them warm and problem-free. Exterior walls were spray-foamed to increase overall energy-efficiency.

We discovered many severely cracked joists and joists and point loads which had been almost completely severed by previous contractors. This project required significant structural reinforcement throughout to make for flat, creak-free flooring.

What was once a dark and inefficient kitchen lacking proper storage was transformed into a clean, spacious, contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen flooded with natural light, modern subway tile backsplash, granite and walnut countertops, acacia hardwood flooring, and plenty of storage space.

The washer and dryer were cleverly concealed within kitchen cabinetry to avoid their costly relocation to the third floor.

Building an appliance garage over the walnut peninsula counter and adding a below counter microwave also reduced clutter and created open space.

The final touch was the installation of the sound-insulated, in-ceiling speakers; a must-have for the avid music-lover. Our team was thrilled to be invited back for a celebratory thank-you party!
