Home renovations in Hintonburg
Workers' cottages, brick doubles and a lot of ambitious infill. Hintonburg renovations are about getting modern light and volume into small, old, well-located houses.
Renovating in Hintonburg
Hintonburg houses are typically narrow and deep, with the original plan running as a corridor of small rooms. The single biggest gain is almost always removing the spine wall and rebuilding the sightline front to back.
Ceiling heights are decent, but structure is often original and undersized for open spans. Beams, posts and proper footings under those posts are where the budget goes — and where it should.
Because so many houses here are semi-detached or attached, party-wall detailing, sound separation and fire separation are part of nearly every scope.

Early-1900s cottages and doubles, Wellington West infill
Permits & approvals
Party-wall work, structural wall removal and additions all require permits, and infill rules apply throughout Wellington West. We prepare the drawings and manage every inspection.
