Whole-Home Renovations in Windsor

Whole-Home Renovations for Windsor homes

Windsor's housing ranges from early-1900s homes in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions. Windsor's older neighbourhoods, from Walkerville to the west end, have houses with great bones and dated, chopped-up layouts. Whole-home renovations here often combine opening the main floor, updating the kitchen and bathrooms and dealing with plaster walls, uneven floors and older materials that need testing before demolition.

What's included

Large-scale renovations that update layouts, finishes and structure across multiple rooms or the entire house. Depending on your project, the work can include:

• Layout changes
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Floors, walls and ceilings
• Exterior updates
• Coordination of licensed trades
• Discovery.
• Scope and phasing.
• Drawings, engineering and permits.
• Construction.
• Completion.

Full details, our process and common questions are on our main whole-home renovations page.

Local conditions in Windsor

Older Windsor homes often have plaster walls, closed-off rooms and floors that have settled over the decades, while post-war bungalows typically offer full basements and simple layouts that are easy to update. Homes built before the 1990s may contain materials such as asbestos or lead paint, so we arrange testing before disturbing anything suspect.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for whole-home renovations in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Will the work be completed all at once or in phases?
• Which walls are load-bearing, and will engineering be needed?
• How are changes and hidden conditions priced and approved?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's building department, and zoning rules come from the City's zoning by-law. Requirements depend on the scope of work, so we confirm what applies to your project during planning and handle applications for the work we're doing.
