Kitchen Renovations in Cumberland

As a family-friendly community, Cumberland homeowners often want kitchens that offer a bright, spacious place for family and friends to gather. Closed-off spaces, limited pantry space, and a lack of natural light can make the kitchen feel disconnected from the rest of the home.

Cumberland kitchen renovations focus on optimizing space for better functionality while staying true to the home. Your kitchen renovation might include:

Opening up the space and incorporating large windows to embrace the outdoors
Adding an island and more seating for family life
Designing a larger pantry and updated cabinetry for more storage space
Upgrading lighting and adding energy-efficient appliances for maximum comfort

Basement Renovations in Cumberland

Basements in Cumberland are typically underutilized. A finished basement can serve many purposes, depending on the layout and the homeowner’s needs.

Before beginning a basement renovation, we review moisture control, ceiling height, insulation and air sealing, and compliant egress. These factors may change how we approach your basement renovation and overall priorities.

For growing, multi-generational, and aging families, transforming basement space is key to enjoying the property to its fullest potential. You may choose to use your basement for:

A family room or playroom
An extra bedroom or bathroom
An entertainment space
A home office or hobby room

Cumberland’s spacious homes give families the opportunity to create a haven that suits all of their needs, with the ability to update and adapt over time.

Maintaining the Historic Charm

Cumberland homes are often modernized to better suit family needs, while, at the same time, care is taken to preserve the charm throughout. Thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and a design tailored to you will help you make the most of the home you already know and love.

At Tremblay Renovation, we understand that preserving a home’s charm means understanding what gives it character and ensuring updates complement it, not compete with it. This means:

Considering the entire home design
Understanding where original features can be reused
Matching size proportions, not just materials
Updating selectively
Making intentional design choices
Respecting the surrounding property

Experience with a wide range of Ottawa home styles
Practical solutions for older homes and underutilized spaces

We have used Bryan for many home renovations over the past 20 years. This time Bryan installed new flooring throughout our main floor, second floor and up the stairs. The quality of workmanship and the attention to detail were excellent. Bryan was very reliable, showing up on time and contacting us if there were any delays or problems. The project was completed in the timeframe specified and surpassed our expectations. We are very happy with the quality of the work.

Always a pleasure working with Tremblay Renovation. They’re a quality company that’s easy to work with. Great communication, great employees and great values. I’m picky about who I work with and I’ve never regretted partnering with the Tremblay team on projects. Here’s a skylight I just installed for them!!

This is our second time working with Tremblay Renovation and as with our first project with them we are very happy with the work. From the first meeting to the last day of work they are involved and making sure everything is working out the way you want it. Very professional, the area is cleaned up after each day. Highly recommend this company.

Tremblay renovated our kitchen. It was a very positive experience from beginning to end. The staff from the designer, project manager, to contractors were all knowledgeable, and readily available to assist, answer questions. The design of the kitchen was thoughtfully done. It is both beautiful and functional. They communicated what to expect when the project began, when various workers would be in, and checked that work was completed to our satisfaction. Contractors cleaned up the job site daily, and did quality work. They run a reliable, honest, quality renovation company. We will definitely work with them again.

We are absolutely delighted with our new ensuite bathroom designed and installed by Tremblay Renovation! Our incredibly talented designer Jansu was able to create a vision for exactly what we wanted and the entire Tremblay team was such a joy to work with - so professional, friendly and responsive. We highly recommend Tremblay Renovation and will be returning to them for any future renovations to our home! Carole & Claude

What a great experience having Tremblay Renovations do a much needed makeover of our master bathroom. Jansu did a great job giving us lots of choices and listening to our needs during the design phase and Kale did an incredible job with the renovation. He was meticulous, hard-working and always cleaning up causing minimal disruption to our household during the work. The final results are amazing. Thank you! Here are some before and after pics, the room is unrecognizable.

I waited two years before leaving this review as I wanted to see how our renovations held up over time. Happily, I only have positive things to say about Tremblay Renovations. The work done included tearing down and rebuilding a brand new master ensuite (walls, ceiling, plumbing, electric, etc.), major updates to the kitchen (cupboard doors, counters, backsplash, floor, electric), front hall flooring, new powder room and replacing all baseboards in common living areas. The process was as painless as possible. Tremblay did not start the work until all materials had been received (no small feat during COVID times). During the construction phase, we were consulted on an ongoing basis and were able to provide input on major decisions (ie. placement of pot lights, placement of kitchen island, etc.) The work took the amount of time estimated and there was no dead time as workers were on the premises everyday. Jeff, Kale and Mike were great, as was the designer, Amanda. Since the renovations two years ago, a couple of minor issues have come up. Jeff has been outstanding in following up with me on these items. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the quality of the work. I should also mention that Tremblay’s cost estimate was reasonable (compared to other companies that we approached who made no effort to find cost savings for us) and the final cost was on budget. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tremblay renovations.

LEVESQUE

This concept was designed to be open and bright. Our team combined the use of natural colours, high ceilings, and large windows to blend the exterior with the interior. The hardwood flooring, countertop, and ceiling beams accentuate the open space with their wood grain finish. The traditional style base cabinetry, adorned with shaker panels, is complemented by a classic subway tile backsplash and a patterned accent tile, adding a touch of time-honored elegance. In contrast, the upper cabinetry exudes contemporary flair. Designed in flat panels and sans handles, they offer a sleek, streamlined look. This modernity is echoed in the living space's centerpiece - a fireplace crafted with a cement texture and hue, harmoniously complementing the countertop and the wall organization unit.

Entertainment Basement

This newly renovated basement features black galaxy granite counters with ebony birch cabinetry, all encased in beautiful, rustic barn board. The wood tones continue throughout the space, leading you to the comfortable, cozy fire and your favorite games: pool and table hockey. No basement is complete without a jaw-dropping bathroom that showcases Fleurco's matte black latitude shower doors, a Stonewood vanity, and American Standard's popular and classic studio toilet. Who's ready to entertain?

Dramatic Expansion

The existing kitchen space was outdated, small and lacked functionality. The first priority was to design a room with sufficient space to entertain large gatherings of family and friends. The new floor plan involved removing the structural wall between the existing kitchen and living room. This created the much-needed extra space to allow for a large central island featuring Dekton Olimpo countertops, with an accenting walnut wood countertop section, white shaker style cabinetry, beverage cooler, large fridge/freezer combo, and double wall ovens. Wide plank oak flooring, light fixtures with a retro vibe, and Viena Graphite glazed wall tile complete the space.

Feminine Touch

A classic white shaker vanity cabinet with ample drawers and a tall recessed wall cabinet provide much-needed storage space in this classic yet freshly designed bathroom. The vanity, complete with a Silestone Lagoon Quartz countertop, creates a timeless design. A custom mirror with integrated wall sconces visually expands the space. The unique patterned floor tile brings visual interest while adding a bohemian flare. Introducing this patterned tile into the custom shower niche unifies the look while bringing some contrast to the traditional white subway tile in the bath shower surround. A bathroom any lady could love!
