Home renovations in New Edinburgh
Century houses beside the Rideau, heritage character worth protecting, and interiors that have to work for how people live now. New Edinburgh renovation is careful work.
Renovating in New Edinburgh
New Edinburgh is a heritage conservation district, and much of the housing stock predates 1920. That brings beautiful proportions, original trim and brick worth keeping — and knob-and-tube remnants, undersized services, balloon framing and stone foundations that need to be understood before anything is opened.
The renovations that succeed here respect the front of the house and modernise behind it. Original mouldings and stair details restored or matched, kitchens rebuilt at the rear, bathrooms added where a back bedroom or closet used to be, and mechanical systems brought fully up to date.
Lower levels are their own discipline. Stone and rubble foundations need interior drainage, insulation detailing that lets the wall dry, and honest advice about the headroom you will actually get.

Permits & approvals
New Edinburgh sits within a heritage conservation district, so exterior changes typically require heritage review in addition to a building permit. We coordinate the heritage application, the drawings and the inspections as one process.
What we build here
The projects New Edinburgh homeowners ask for most
01
Century kitchen rebuilds
New kitchens at the rear of the house with millwork detailed to suit the period rather than fight it.
02
Added and rebuilt bathrooms
Finding a second or third bathroom inside an existing footprint, with plumbing routed through old framing carefully.
03
Heritage-sensitive additions
Rear additions and dormers designed to satisfy conservation district review and read as part of the original house.
04
Systems and envelope
Full rewiring, service upgrades, insulation and air sealing done in a way that keeps old assemblies drying.
