Home Renovation Services in Orleans

Renovating a home in Orléans comes with its own set of challenges. Many homes were built 15–30 years ago, which means layouts can feel dated and materials are starting to show their age.

The goal isn’t always a full gut renovation. Most of the time, it’s about improving how the space functions while updating the look and durability.

At Tremblay Renovation, we’ve been working on homes in the Orléans area since 1989. We know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get the job done properly without cutting corners.

Bathroom Renovations

Bathrooms are one of the most common upgrades we do in Orléans homes. Many still have original finishes, basic layouts, and limited storage.

A proper bathroom renovation focuses on function first, then design.

Typical upgrades include:

Reworking the layout to better use the space
Replacing outdated tubs or showers
Updating plumbing fixtures and valves
Proper waterproofing and ventilation
Adding storage with vanities and built-ins

We don’t just update the look, we make sure everything behind the walls is done right.

Kitchen Remodelling

Kitchens in Orléans homes are often closed off or not designed for how people use the space today.

We focus on improving flow, storage, and overall functionality.

Typical kitchen renovations include:

Opening walls or improving layout between rooms
Custom cabinetry designed for storage and efficiency
Upgraded lighting for both task and ambient use
Durable countertops and materials built to last

Whether it’s a full renovation or a layout update, the goal is to make the kitchen easier to live in.

Basement Renovations

Basements in Orléans are often underused or partially finished. A proper renovation can turn that space into something functional and valuable.

Before finishing, we make sure the fundamentals are handled:

Moisture control and insulation
Proper framing and layout
Electrical and lighting upgrades
Code-compliant egress if adding bedrooms

Common basement projects include:

Family rooms
Home offices
Rental or in-law suites
Additional bathrooms

Done properly, a basement renovation adds real usable space to your home.

Accessibility Renovations

If you’re planning to stay in your home long term, accessibility upgrades can make a big difference.

The goal is to improve safety and function without changing the look of the home.

Common upgrades include:

Wider doorways
Easier entry access
Safer bathroom layouts with walk-in showers
Improved lighting and smoother transitions between rooms

These upgrades can be done as part of a renovation or as a separate project.

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.

Our Work

Take a look at some of our completed projects to see the type of work we do.

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!

Keeping it hot!

This truly custom-tiled shower creates the perfect steamy experience and features: – A luxury steam unit – Custom tempered glass steam enclosure with venting – Wall-mounted Invisia fold-down seating – Matte black shower door trim – Matte black shower system – A large rain hat to add a masculine touch–

Classical Kitchen

This classical design features custom two-tone painted cabinetry and beautiful quartz countertops. The island countertop features Cambria Britannica Gold quartz, while the back counters feature Zenith Carrera Gold quartz. Custom glass cabinet doors with unique millwork details add to the bright, airy feel of this space. This estate home kitchen comes alive!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you come to my home in Orléans?

Yes, we do come to your home in Orléans. Every project begins with a phone or email conversation so we can understand your goals. We ask for photos of the space and basic measurements to create a preliminary budget. If the estimate works for you, we then come to your home in Orléans to take accurate measurements and gather additional details before starting.

Do I need a permit for renovations in Orléans?

Whether you need a permit depends on the scope of your project. General upgrades to kitchens and bathrooms usually don’t require a building permit. Projects that involve additions, major alterations, or work affecting plumbing, electrical, heating and structural elements typically require a City of Ottawa Building Permit. Tremblay Renovation can handle any permits required for your Orléans project.

How long does a renovation take?

The renovation timeline depends on the space being renovated, the type of materials, whether the layout will change, and whether a permit is required. Before beginning any work, we’ll give you an estimated timeline. Renovations usually take between 2 and 12 weeks to complete.

When is the best time of year to renovate?

The best time of year to renovate depends on your needs and schedule. Many homeowners in Orléans plan renovations in the spring or summer when they have a clearer vision for home upgrades. Fall is also popular because it allows projects to be completed before winter. Reaching out several months in advance is best to keep your project on schedule and complete during your preferred time.

Can I stay in my home during the renovation?

Yes, you can stay in your home while renovations are underway. The area being upgraded won’t be usable, so you may need to adjust your daily routine. While we strive to stay on schedule, unexpected delays can happen. If possible, have a plan in place for cooking or bathing in another area of your home or consider temporarily staying elsewhere until the renovation is complete.
