Greely · Osgoode ward

Renovation contractor in Greely.

Additions, basements, kitchens and whole-home renovations for Greely’s estate homes and country properties. Free in-home consultations.

Built for Greely homes.

Greely grew from a small crossroads village into a community of larger homes on estate lots, many built from the 1980s onward, with newer streets around the Shadow Ridge golf course. Bigger homes and bigger lots make Greely well suited to additions, large basements and main-floor renovations that make the most of the space.

Almost every property here is on a private well and septic system. That shapes renovations in two ways: adding bedrooms or bathrooms may require a septic review and sometimes an upgrade, and well water is often hard, which matters when you choose fixtures, glass and appliances. We check both early.

Distance matters for scheduling too. We plan deliveries and trade visits in blocks, so a rural job doesn’t lose half a day every time a part is missing.

Greely renovation questions

Call or text 613-806-4000 and we'll answer anything else.

Does my septic system limit my renovation?

It can. Adding bedrooms or bathrooms may require a septic review, and sometimes upgrades. We check early so the design and budget account for it.

Do I need a permit to renovate in Greely?

Greely is part of the City of Ottawa, so City building permits apply: finishes in the same layout usually don’t need one, but removing walls, moving plumbing, finishing a basement, building an addition or creating a secondary suite generally does, and electrical work needs an ESA permit. We handle the applications. On a private septic system, adding a bedroom or bathroom can also need a septic review, which we check early.

Do you travel to rural properties?

Yes. Greely and the surrounding area are part of our regular service area, and consultations are free.

Can you finish a very large basement?

Yes. We often zone large basements into a family area, a gym or theatre and a guest suite, with heating and lighting planned for each.
