Lowertown Home Renovation Services

Thinking about a Lowertown home renovation? You are not alone. With the area’s mix of historic homes, narrow lots, and multi-unit properties, Lowertown renovations aren’t always straightforward: older construction, tight layouts, and city requirements all come into play.

At Tremblay Renovation, we work with homeowners across Lowertown to improve how their spaces function while respecting the character of their homes. Whether you’re updating a dated bathroom, reworking a kitchen, or making better use of a basement, the goal stays the same: practical improvements that make the space easier to live in.

Bathroom Renovations in Lowertown

Lowertown home renovations often start with bathrooms: tight layouts, failing plumbing, or insufficient ventilation often require careful attention. These renovations usually focus on adding more practical storage, updating fixtures, and improving floor plans and airflow to make the room easier and more comfortable to use.

At Tremblay Renovation, each bathroom project is managed by our team from start to finish, so nothing gets overlooked along the way. This includes demolition, plumbing and electrical coordination, waterproofing, tile work, and fixture installation.

Kitchen Renovations in Lowertown

Kitchens in Lowertown homes often have a lot of character, but they are not always the easiest spaces to work in. Tight layouts and inconsistent lighting can make simple kitchen tasks difficult, especially in a busy household.

Depending on the home, kitchen renovations in Lowertown might involve reworking cabinetry to improve storage, upgrading lighting to make the space more practical, or installing an island to increase workable space.

Basement Renovations in Lowertown

Most basement renovations in Lowertown focus on adding usable square footage, such as a family room, home office, guest space, or a secondary unit where zoning allows. These projects often require addressing moisture and proper waterproofing, carefully planning insulation, considering ceiling height limitations, and ensuring everything meets egress requirements and current building codes.

Once those are addressed, the layout can be planned around how you actually intend to use the space. A well-finished basement shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. We make it feel like part of the home.

Accessibility and Mobility Renovations

As mobility changes, even simple daily tasks can become more difficult. Thoughtful accessibility updates can make the home easier to navigate, more comfortable to use, and safer overall. When planned properly, these changes integrate naturally into the home, maintaining a welcoming atmosphere while improving safety and ease of movement.

Typical accessibility improvements might include widening doorways, installing entry ramps, upgrading lighting, and evening out flooring transitions to make movement through the home safer and more comfortable.

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.

Our Work

If you are planning a renovation, the next step is understanding what’s possible and what makes sense for your home. Take a look at some of the previous projects we have worked on:

new-kitchen

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

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

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

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!
