Oshawa's revitalization creates renovation opportunity throughout the city. D&D Interior Services brings quality craftsmanship to Durham's largest city.
Planning Your Renovation
Oshawa is undergoing significant revitalization, with the redevelopment of the General Motors employment lands, Ontario Tech University growth, and increasing investment in the downtown core creating new energy in a city that is genuinely transforming. Homeowners and investors throughout Oshawa are renovating with renewed confidence.
Older homes in Oshawa's established neighbourhoods — McLaughlin, Centennial, and Lakeview — often carry their original character: hardwood floors, plaster walls, original woodwork. These homes respond well to renovation that preserves and celebrates their authentic character while updating systems and finishes for contemporary function.
What the Process Looks Like
Oshawa's post-war bungalow stock is extensive and has been a consistent renovation market. These simple, solid homes are being upgraded across the city — kitchens opened to living areas, bathrooms modernized, basements finished or converted to secondary suites, and energy efficiency improved through insulation and window upgrades.
Ontario Tech University's growing enrolment creates student housing demand in Oshawa neighbourhoods near the campus. Investors and owner-occupants with secondary suite potential in their properties have strong demand from the student rental market and are renovating accordingly.
Working With D&D Interior Services
New residential development in north Oshawa has expanded the city's geographic footprint significantly. These newer homes are built to higher standards but still reflect builder-grade selections that many owners upgrade within the first few years of possession. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades in these newer Oshawa homes are a growing renovation category.
D&D Interior Services serves homeowners and investors throughout Oshawa. Our knowledge of the city's diverse housing stock — from downtown heritage to north end new builds — allows us to bring the right approach to every renovation project.
