Renovations made for the way Uxbridge lives.

Uxbridge is a small town set in the rolling Oak Ridges Moraine countryside, with older homes around its historic downtown, family neighbourhoods built since the 1980s and rural homes and hobby farms throughout the township.

We work across Uxbridge in the Oak Ridges Moraine countryside, in older town homes, family subdivisions and rural properties. The projects we are asked about most here are kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishing, additions and decks on larger properties.

Investment

What shapes the price of a renovation in Uxbridge

Every house is different, so every project is quoted in writing after a visit. These are the factors that move the number.

Scope & size

How many rooms, how much square footage, and whether it is a refresh or a full gut.

Layout changes

Moving walls, plumbing or gas lines costs more than keeping the existing layout.

Structure

Load-bearing walls, beams, foundations and additions need engineering and permits.

Materials & finishes

Cabinets, counters, tile, flooring and fixtures range widely in price.

Condition of the house

Old wiring, plumbing, water damage or uneven floors found along the way.

Permits & drawings

Projects that need drawings, permits and inspections take more time and planning.

Home Renovations in Uxbridge: Kitchens, Bathrooms, Basements and More

Century and heritage homes in Uxbridge

Uxbridge'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 Uxbridge

Homes built in Uxbridge 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 Uxbridge

Rural properties around Uxbridge 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.

Kitchen Renovations in Uxbridge

A kitchen renovation is one of the most common projects we quote in Uxbridge. The housing here includes older town homes, family subdivisions and rural properties, and whether the goal is a brighter, more open space or simply more storage and better workflow, the right plan depends on the house.

Our Uxbridge kitchen projects follow a clear sequence: measure and plan, order long-lead items like cabinets, then demolition, rough-ins and inspections, followed by drywall, cabinets, counters, tile and finishing. You get one point of contact from start to finish.

Bathroom Renovations in Uxbridge

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

Our Uxbridge bathroom remodels are fully managed: demolition, repairs, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, fixtures and finishing, with a written schedule so you know how long the room is out of use.

Basement Finishing in Uxbridge

Plenty of Uxbridge homes, from Downtown Uxbridge and Goodwood 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.

We finish Uxbridge basements from bare concrete to move-in ready: insulation, framing, bathrooms, wet bars, laundry, pot lights, drywall, flooring and trim, with the permit and inspections handled.

Legal Basement Apartments in Uxbridge

In Uxbridge, homeowners are adding legal secondary suites to help with the mortgage and to keep family close. The key is building one properly, with a permit, so the unit is safe, insurable and adds value when you sell.

Before we quote a Uxbridge basement apartment, we confirm the Township of Uxbridge's requirements for your property. Then we plan fire separation, egress windows, the entrance, alarms, the suite kitchen and bathroom, and the permit, so the unit is legal from day one.

Home Additions in Uxbridge

Uxbridge homeowners add space with rear and side additions, second storeys over bungalows and four-season sunrooms, especially where older town homes, family subdivisions and rural properties sit on lots with room to grow.

Accessible Renovations in Uxbridge

In Uxbridge, where homes include older town homes, family subdivisions and rural properties, accessibility upgrades range from a single curbless shower to moving a bedroom and laundry to the main floor so the stairs become optional.

Renovating in Durham Region

Durham mixes post-war bungalows and older brick homes near the lake with large newer subdivisions to the north, so the work here ranges from first renovations on decades-old houses to finishing builder-grade basements in homes only a few years old.
