Do you finish basements in newer Burlington homes?

Yes. Orchard and Alton Village homes often have unfinished basements that suit a family room, office or guest space with a bathroom.

Do you work in Aldershot and downtown Burlington?

Yes. Older homes in both areas often need a careful look at existing wiring, plumbing and structure before the scope is fixed.

What if you find problems after the walls are opened?

We stop, show you what we found and talk through the options and cost with you before continuing. We also recommend a contingency for older homes.

Renovating in Burlington

Planned around the homes in Burlington

Burlington homes cover everything from postwar bungalows to recent subdivisions. We plan renovations that suit the house and the way you live in it, and coordinate the trades from the first visit to handover.

Aldershot, Roseland and the older parts of downtown have many postwar bungalows and side-splits on mature lots. Headon Forest, Millcroft and Brant Hills are largely 1970s to 1990s two-storey homes, and Orchard and Alton Village are newer communities where basement finishing is a common first project.

Typical projects

What Burlington homeowners ask us for

The projects we are most often asked about in Burlington, and how the local housing shapes them.

Opening a bungalow kitchen

Connecting the kitchen to the living and dining rooms in a postwar bungalow, with structural support where walls come out.

Side-split refresh

Updating the kitchen, stairs and flooring across the levels of a side-split so the house works as one space.

Newer-home basement

Finishing an unfinished basement in Orchard or Alton Village as a family room, office or guest space.

Bathroom update

Replacing a dated bathroom with a better layout, new tile and fixtures, and improved ventilation.

Local considerations

What to plan for in Burlington

Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we check for early in Burlington.

Conservation Halton

Properties near the lake or creeks may need Conservation Halton approval for exterior or site work.

Postwar systems

Older bungalows may need electrical, insulation or plumbing updates once walls are opened.

Multi-level flooring

Side-splits and backsplits need flooring and trim planned across every level at once for clean transitions.

Downtown access

Older downtown and lakeshore streets can be tight, so deliveries and parking are planned before work starts.

Permits, budget and timing

Planning a renovation in Burlington

Building permits are issued by the City of Burlington. Properties near the lake or creeks may fall under Conservation Halton's regulations for exterior and site work, which can add an approval step.

Structural changes in older bungalows add engineering and permit time. Basement finishing in newer homes is usually quicker to start once the layout and bathroom location are agreed.

Requirements depend on the property and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your project before the scope is fixed.

Questions

Renovating in Burlington

Common questions from Burlington homeowners. For anything about your own property, get in touch.

Yes. Side-splits often benefit from opening the kitchen to the living area and updating the stairs and flooring between levels. We check which walls are structural before planning the layout.
