This client wanted to modernize the dated kitchen and adjacent spaces. In addition, they wanted to reconfigure layout to have enough dining area for their seven adult children and partners; 16 in total! This home is in a condo complex and so finding solutions to address the homeowner’s goals without changing the exterior structure was huge challenge. We reworked the laundry area, removed the fireplace and several walls. We replaced kitchen cabinets and lighting. We added new lighting, two fireplaces and a built-in buffet for serving guest. The result is a modern space and table to seat 16! Mission accomplished!

With a love for the area and not wanting to move from it, our customers decided to invest in the existing house and design it like they’ve always dreamed. The largest part of the renovation was flipping the kitchen from the front of the house to the back. Changing and moving windows and removing and moving walls were also part of the process. A custom kitchen was installed. New hardwood and tile floors and fireplace surround were added. In the end the customers have their new dream home without having to move from the area they love.

So to give them the house of their dreams, we updated the kitchen, added a master bedroom and en-suite addition with built in closets, and opened and reconfigured the main floor with a new powder room. To match the new hardwood floors throughout, we installed two-tone cabinetry, quartz counter-tops, and chef style appliances in the kitchen.

The renovation of this 100-year old duplex into a single family dwelling was HGTV worthy.

The result? An expansive home complete with quality craftsman finishings like; custom built radiator cabinets; reclaimed brick on the floor to ceiling fireplace surround in the library; stunning era style archways throughout and rich refinished hardwoods that you won’t find in any store!

ICAN Construction & Renovation

The clients had long felt that their 820 sf bungalow had been bursting at the seams with a growing family of four. After exploring options in their area to build new or buy a bigger home the clients were left feeling defeated, not only by the price tags but the quality of craftsmanship. The decision was made to add a second story and front entrance to their existing home using a certified builder and renovator. It was a pure collaboration that fulfilled the clients needs and desires, not only for custom finishes but to remain in their chosen area.

Downsizing to Norwood Flats, the 3 kids were ready to leave and the clients no longer wanted the high taxes of a suburb. They found a storey & 1/2 house in “the Flats” that had been renovated in the 80’s, need some TLC and a bit more space. The location and yard is what made this property stand out. A large main floor addition with a sunroom, mudroom, great rear entry and an large kitchen addition allowed us to install a steel beam and open up the living / dining kitchen into one fantastic open living space.

A tired storey and 1/2 in Riverview needed an update and more room. The second floor was removed, 3 full bedrooms, 2 full baths added. The main floor had the original master bedroom reconfigured to a mudroom entry, stairs to basement flipped to allow for more room in the kitchen. Bumpouts in the kitchen & 2 storey for the living and master bed added just enough space on the main floor. A covered back entry and front porch completed the project.
