You are at the heart of everything we do. It is our honour to be with you every step of the way, on your journey that leads to the creation of a home that is a unique reflection of you. This is why we have developed a tried and true renovation model to reflect what we think you value most.

We always want to ensure that our clients end up with an elegant and memorable home that will stand the test of time. Whether we are starting from an empty lot, or returning to spruce up your home to current tastes. With this in mind, we use nothing but the highest quality materials and finishing. What might be considered an upgrade with other renovators or homebuilders is a standard with RENOVA. Rest assured knowing you receive the same quality of workmanship in your renovation that you have come to expect from our historic luxury brand.

DESIGN-BUILD MODEL

IN HOUSE 3D ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

We draw every single one of our projects, whether it is a simple powder room to a major renovation, such as converting a bungalow to a two-storey home. Major renovations certainly require drawings in order to obtain permits and satisfy other requirements, but we take it a step further, and ensure we provide our clients with a full 3D view of all aspects of their renovation. Most renovation companies will simply provide you with a blueprint or line drawing, but our in-house design team knows, that in order to truly visualize, and get excited about your project, you need to see how your sofa is going to look in your living room.

Beyond the aesthetics, following this detailed design driven model allows us to ensure we can provide you with accurate and tight estimates for your project; It removes all the guess work, because we have drawn every detail.

CONSTRUCTION CLEANLINESS

SAFETY IS IMPORTANT

We can tell you we care, but we would rather show you! Construction is inherently messy, but this is your home, and we know how stressful it can feel living in a construction zone. Beyond that, we want to ensure you’re still invited to the neighborhood block parties. This is why exterior and interior project cleanliness and protection is so important to our team.

Not only do we lay plywood down before our construction bins are dropped off (protecting your driveway) we also wrap all bins in a Renova banner to spruce up the look of having a construction bin in front of your home. Our team takes pride in ensuring both the exterior and interior of the home is cleaned daily, as well as having it professionally cleaned during certain stages of construction.

Additionally, our team is focused on your homes security, from lock boxes and traffic logs to protecting the aspects of the home that are to remain. We ensure we invest both financially and professionally in protecting your family and your home!

CLIENT SECURED FIXED PRICING

We have all heard the stories; Mary and John enter a renovation agreement and by the end of the project have paid thousands upon thousands of dollars more! The contractor keeps saying “well this popped up, and you will need to pay more”.  This is why we offer guaranteed fixed price contracts. We understand nothing is more stressful than surprised costs! We take the time getting all those little details ‘just right’ in design, which in turn allows us to remove the guess work and ensure we are agreeing to a renovation cost you are comfortable with.
