Home renovations in Old Ottawa South
Between the canal and the river sits some of the city's most carefully kept older housing. Renovating here means matching an existing standard, not setting a new one.
Renovating in Old Ottawa South
Old Ottawa South homes have generous main-floor proportions and cramped service areas — small kitchens, one bathroom, a tight stair. Most projects rebalance that: expand the back, add a bathroom, and rework the storage.
Trees, narrow driveways and street parking dictate logistics. We plan deliveries and dumpster placement around them so a renovation doesn't take over the block.
Detailing has to be right. Original trim profiles, plaster reveals and stair details are worth matching, and we build the millwork to do it.
Housing stock

Permits & approvals
Mature-neighbourhood infill rules, tree protection and rear-yard setbacks all apply here. Permit review takes longer than in the suburbs and we schedule for it.
