Scope of the Renovation
This was a comprehensive, whole-home renovation that included:
– A fully renovated basement
– A redesigned main floor
– A complete top floor renovation, including all bedrooms
– Four bathrooms in total
– Updated living and dining rooms
– A custom home gym
– A sauna and spa area for wellness and relaxation
The renovation touched every part of the home, creating a cohesive and functional space tailored to everyday living.
Timeline & On-Time Delivery
The renovation took approximately eight months, running from March through mid-August.
The schedule was tight and required an accelerated construction timeline, with a firm goal of completion before the end of summer.
Despite the complexity of the project, the home was delivered on time, allowing the family to move back in by mid-August — a key priority for making the most of summer with their children.
“It was an accelerated construction schedule, and there were moments where it looked difficult — but they pulled out all the stops and delivered on time.”
