Custom Renovations in Newmarket
Some of the most useful projects do not fit a standard category. RENAWO designs and builds focused, custom spaces for Newmarket homes, from a hard-working mudroom to a quiet office or a bathroom that supports ageing in place.
Serving Newmarket Homeowners
Small Spaces, Designed With Purpose
Custom projects usually begin with a specific frustration. Boots and hockey bags pile up at the garage door. Laundry happens in a dark corner of the basement two floors from the bedrooms. A hybrid work schedule means a laptop on the dining table every day. A parent moving in needs a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor.
Because these spaces are small and heavily used, every centimetre has to be considered. We measure carefully, think through how people move in and out of the room, and design storage, surfaces and lighting for the exact tasks it will handle.
The work receives the same structured process as a larger renovation: a site visit, a clear scope, defined finishes and a schedule you can plan around.
Local Insight
Custom Projects That Suit Newmarket Living
Seasons, commuting patterns and multi-generational households shape many of the custom requests we see in town.
Garage-entry mudrooms
In many subdivision homes, the garage door opens into a narrow hall or laundry area. Reworking it with benches, cubbies, hooks and durable flooring helps the house handle snowy and muddy months.
Laundry on the right floor
Relocating laundry from the basement to the upper floor or main level is a common request; it depends on available plumbing, venting and floor structure.
Dedicated home offices
For households that work from home part of the week, a converted bedroom, loft or den with built-in desks, good lighting and sound control can make long days more comfortable.
Ageing in place and family living
Main-floor bedrooms, wider doorways, low-threshold showers and wall blocking for future grab bars help homes adapt as needs change.

Planning & Permits
Getting the Details Right
Small rooms leave little margin for error, so measurements, clearances for door swings and appliance depths, and the location of outlets and lighting are settled during design. Moving a laundry room or adding a sink brings in drain, venting and waterproofing considerations that we review before construction.
For accessibility work, we plan around how the person actually moves through the home and can coordinate with any recommendations from an occupational therapist.
Building permits for Newmarket are handled by the Town of Newmarket. Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required — see the Town of Newmarket website or ask us to review your project during planning.

FAQ
Custom Renovations & Upgrades Questions in Newmarket
Do you take on smaller custom projects in Newmarket?
Yes. A mudroom, laundry room or built-in project gets the same planning and site care as a larger renovation. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss whether it is a good fit.
Do I need a permit for a custom renovation in Newmarket?
Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required, for example when relocating plumbing, adding a bathroom, changing structure or converting a room into a bedroom. Built-ins and finish work usually involve less. We help you confirm with the Town of Newmarket.
Can laundry be moved upstairs in my home?
In many two-storey homes it can, provided there is a practical path for water supply, drainage and dryer venting, and the floor can be protected against leaks. We assess this during the site visit.
Can you help adapt my home for a family member with mobility needs?
Yes. Common updates include a main-floor bedroom or bathroom, wider doorways, low-threshold showers and reinforced walls for grab bars. We plan them around the person’s daily routine.
Can a custom project be combined with a larger renovation later?
Absolutely. We can design the custom space now with a future kitchen, basement or whole-home project in mind so the pieces fit together.
