Century and heritage homes in Paris

Paris'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.

Newer homes built since 2000 in Paris

Newer Paris homes have good bones and builder-grade finishes. The most common projects are finishing the basement, often with a bathroom roughed in by the builder, and upgrading kitchens and ensuites. Engineered floor joists cannot be cut or notched without an engineer's approval, and in the first years of ownership it is worth checking how a change affects your Tarion new-home warranty.

Lakefront and riverside properties in Paris

Lakefront and riverside homes around Paris 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 Paris

Kitchens in Paris come in every shape, from the closed-off galley kitchens in older houses to builder-grade kitchens in newer homes that never quite worked. With heritage homes and newer subdivisions across Downtown Paris, Paris North and St. George, there is no single template, so every kitchen remodel we plan here starts with the room in front of us.

We handle the whole Paris 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 Paris

Many bathrooms in Paris are original to the house, and in heritage homes and newer subdivisions that can mean anything from a tired 1970s three-piece to a builder-grade ensuite with a tub nobody uses. A bathroom remodel is one of the best-value updates in the home, as long as the work behind the tile is done properly.

Every Paris 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 Paris

In Paris, a finished basement is one of the most requested projects we quote, especially in heritage homes and newer subdivisions. Families in Downtown Paris, Paris North and St. George use that space for a rec room, an office, a gym or a guest suite instead of moving to get more room.

Every Paris 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 Paris

Demand for legal basement apartments in Paris is strong, whether for rental income, a parent moving closer or a young adult who wants their own space. Many heritage homes and newer subdivisions in Downtown Paris, Paris North and St. George have basements well suited to a secondary suite.

Secondary suites in Paris are approved by the County of Brant, 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.

Home Additions in Paris

In Paris, an addition is often the answer for families who love their street in Downtown Paris and Paris North but have outgrown the house. With heritage homes and newer subdivisions, rear additions, second storeys and main-floor suites are all common.

Accessible Renovations in Paris

Many Paris homeowners want to stay in the neighbourhood they know, in Downtown Paris, Paris North and St. George and beyond, and the right changes to the bathroom, entrances and main floor make that safer and easier.
