Century and heritage homes in Lindsay

Lindsay's older homes, many built before the Second World War, have character worth keeping and systems that usually are not: knob-and-tube or early wiring, plaster and lath walls, stone or block foundations, and framing that is rarely square. We open these houses carefully, test for asbestos and lead paint before demolition, and plan for what is behind the walls instead of pretending it will not be there.

1970s to 1990s family homes in Lindsay

Homes built in Lindsay from the 1970s to the 1990s are reaching their first full renovation: original oak kitchens, tub-and-tile bathrooms, sunken living rooms and windows at the end of their life. Some of these houses also have materials worth checking before work starts, such as aluminum branch wiring from the late 1960s and 1970s or poly-B plumbing installed from the late 1970s to the late 1990s.

Rural homes on well and septic in Lindsay

Rural properties around Lindsay bring their own considerations. Homes on a private septic system and well need the system checked before adding bedrooms, bathrooms or a second unit, because more bedrooms means more daily flow, and a septic system has to be sized for it. Larger lots give more room for additions and outdoor space.

Lakefront and riverside properties in Lindsay

Lakefront and riverside homes around Lindsay deal with higher water tables, wind, ice and moisture. Work near a shoreline, floodplain or valley often needs a permit from the conservation authority as well as the municipality, and materials and fasteners have to be chosen for wet conditions.

Kitchen Renovations in Lindsay

A kitchen renovation is one of the most common projects we quote in Lindsay. The housing here includes older brick homes, newer subdivisions and cottages turned year-round homes, and whether the goal is a brighter, more open space or simply more storage and better workflow, the right plan depends on the house.

We handle the whole Lindsay kitchen remodel as one project: demolition, any wall removal or structural work, plumbing and electrical by licensed trades, cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring and paint, in the right order and on a written schedule.

Bathroom Renovations in Lindsay

Bathroom renovations are a steady part of our work in Lindsay, from Downtown Lindsay and Ops to the rest of the area. The most common requests are walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, double vanities and basement bathrooms.

Every Lindsay bathroom we build gets a continuous waterproofing membrane, a properly sloped shower base and an exhaust fan sized for the room, with plumbing by licensed trades and tile set flat and true.

Basement Finishing in Lindsay

Plenty of Lindsay homes, from Downtown Lindsay and Ops to the rest of the area, have a basement that is unfinished or finished decades ago. Either way, it is usually the cheapest square footage in the house to turn into real living space.

Every Lindsay basement we finish starts with a moisture check, then proper foundation insulation, framing, electrical and plumbing, drywall, below-grade flooring and lighting, with egress windows wherever a bedroom is planned.

Legal Basement Apartments in Lindsay

Demand for legal basement apartments in Lindsay is strong, whether for rental income, a parent moving closer or a young adult who wants their own space. Many older brick homes, newer subdivisions and cottages turned year-round homes in Downtown Lindsay, Ops and Omemee have basements well suited to a secondary suite.

Secondary suites in Lindsay are approved by the City of Kawartha Lakes, which sets its own zoning, parking and entrance rules on top of the Ontario Building Code and Fire Code. We check what your lot allows, coordinate drawings and the permit, then build the suite and book inspections through to final sign-off.
