Are you looking to completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom?
Any home renovation can seem like a large undertaking challenge, but when you set your goals and take them in stride, the renovation process can seem a lot less difficult.
Many modern homes in Toronto are based on the open concept space. However, an open concept does not necessarily imply one large room with no separation. Dividers can stop echoes from forming due to unrestricted sound travel. They can also add some structure and privacy.
Building a wall may end up a messy business and produce very expensive mistakes. Portable or semi-portable dividers are cheaper and easier to install. They require no demolition to be removed should you like to get your open space back.
Stone Veneer has been around since The Roman Empire, however, since the late 1800’s it has steadily grown in popularity. Today, it is one of the most popular siding choices for homes. Stone veneer siding gives your home a makeover that will transform the exterior of your home and improve its curb appeal.
How often do you find yourself fretting about a chipped or broken floor tile? Or distressing over the draft from the exterior door? Or bothered about guests having to use your not-quite-finished bathroom? You’re “honey-dew” list is getting out of control – and the longer you wait to deal with these issues, the more pressing and possibly the more expensive they can be to resolve.
The kitchen island has become so popular that it’s difficult to find a modern kitchen that doesn’t have one. According to the United States National Association of Builders, nearly 3 of every 4 homeowners considers a kitchen island to be a must-have. Aside from being a great design element, they are incredibly functional, they can be storage units, cooking spaces, prep workstations, locations for creativity, spaces for homework and family time and of course a great space for dining. Before you begin, decide what your kitchen will add to your home and your family, for example: Will the island be used primarily as a breakfast nook, or the main dining area? Or will it be used for dining at all? Have a clear conversation with your kitchen designer to determine what is best for you and your family.

The foundation is the most important part of any construction. It is essential that the foundation has been installed properly – that means, it’s level, it’s water tight, it’s square and built to Ontario Building Code Standards. If any area of the foundation has been poorly built it will cause greater problems as the construction continues.
