Home renovations in Orleans
Orleans homes are mostly newer, mostly two-storey, and almost always have an unfinished basement waiting to become the best floor in the house.
Renovating in Orleans
Fallingbrook, Convent Glen, Chapel Hill, Queenswood Heights and Avalon are family neighbourhoods, and the renovation brief is usually about capacity rather than character: more bedrooms, more bathrooms, somewhere for teenagers, somewhere for visiting family.
Because the housing stock is newer, the structure is rarely the problem. The work concentrates on finishing unbuilt space and upgrading finishes that were specified to a builder's budget fifteen or twenty years ago.
Orleans is also where we build a lot of guest suites and in-law suites — homes with the ceiling height and the window wells to do it properly.

Permits & approvals
Finished basements with new bedrooms need permits for egress windows and for the plumbing and electrical work. We pull them, schedule the inspections and hand you the paperwork at closeout.
