Building and renovating in Arnprior

Arnprior has a mix of older homes in town, established neighbourhoods and newer developments, along with larger lots in the surrounding area. Common projects include kitchen and ensuite renovations, finished basements and secondary suites, additions for growing families, and custom homes.

Arnprior sits where the Madawaska River meets the Ottawa River, and permits here go through the Town of Arnprior rather than the City of Ottawa. The town has older homes near the downtown and the waterfront, postwar bungalows, and newer subdivisions on its edges. Older homes are often good candidates for whole-home renovations with updated electrical, plumbing and insulation, while newer homes more often need basement finishing and kitchen or ensuite upgrades. Properties close to the rivers can be affected by floodplain and conservation authority rules, so we check those early when planning additions or finished basements.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work outside the City of Ottawa? Yes. We take on projects in communities around Ottawa, including Arnprior, Almonte, Carleton Place and Kemptville.

Can you add a secondary suite to my Arnprior home? Often, yes, depending on local zoning and building code requirements. See basement renovations and secondary suites.

Do you handle permits in Arnprior? Yes. Arnprior is in the Town of Arnprior, outside the City of Ottawa, so permits go through that municipality rather than the city. We prepare and submit the applications and coordinate inspections with the local building department.
