Planning Your Renovation
St. Catharines, as the largest city in the Niagara Region, has a diverse housing stock ranging from early-20th-century homes in the downtown core to newer suburban builds in communities like Port Dalhousie and Martindale. Each era of construction presents different renovation opportunities and challenges.
Older St. Catharines homes often feature plaster walls, original hardwood floors, and architectural details like deep window sills and original woodwork that are worth preserving and showcasing during renovation. Our approach honours these details while bringing the home's systems and finishes up to contemporary standards.
What the Process Looks Like
Kitchen renovations in St. Catharines homes frequently involve reconfiguring layouts that were designed for a different era of cooking and entertaining. Opening walls between the kitchen and adjacent rooms, adding an island, and increasing natural light through enlarged windows are common improvements that transform daily living.
Bathroom renovations often reveal older plumbing that needs updating alongside the cosmetic work. We coordinate with licensed plumbers to ensure new fixtures are installed on properly functioning supply and drain lines — a practical requirement in homes where the plumbing hasn't been touched in decades.
Working With D&D Interior Services
Basement finishing is one of the most popular renovations in St. Catharines single-family homes. Converting an unfinished basement to a family room, home office, or secondary suite adds significant square footage and value to properties in a market where square footage relative to purchase price is an important investment consideration.
