Building and renovating in Kanata

Kanata's established neighbourhoods include many homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s that are due for major updates. We often open up closed-in layouts with structural wall removals, renovate kitchens and primary ensuites, finish basements, and build rear and second-storey additions. Older homes can also benefit from electrical, plumbing, insulation and window upgrades done at the same time.

Much of Kanata was built between the 1970s and the 2000s, from Beaverbrook and Katimavik to Bridlewood and Kanata Lakes. Homes from the 1990s and 2000s are often due for basement finishing, kitchen and ensuite replacement, and window and envelope upgrades, while older Beaverbrook homes are good candidates for whole-home renovations and additions. Basements in this era often have low ductwork and a central beam that shape the layout, so we plan around them, or relocate them, before finishes are chosen. Many Kanata homeowners also add secondary suites, which Ottawa's zoning generally permits in detached, semi-detached and townhouse homes, subject to permit and code requirements.
