Interior Remodeling in Newmarket
When the rooms are fine on their own but the house no longer flows, interior remodeling ties it back together. RENAWO reworks Newmarket main floors, stairways and finishes so the whole interior feels current and connected.
Serving Newmarket Homeowners
Rethinking Rooms You Already Have
Plenty of Newmarket houses were designed around a formal living room at the front, a separate dining room and a family room tucked behind the kitchen. Today many owners find the front rooms sit empty while everyone crowds into the back of the house.
Interior remodeling reassigns that space. A little-used living room might become a library or office, a dining room wall can be opened to share light with the kitchen, and a chopped-up hallway can turn into a wider, brighter entry. Alongside layout changes, the finishes that age a house fastest, including orange-toned oak, stippled ceilings, hollow-core doors and builder light fixtures, can be replaced in one coordinated pass.
Working this way means flooring runs continuously, trim profiles match from room to room and lighting is planned for the new layout instead of the old one.
Local Insight
Interior Patterns We See in Newmarket Homes
Each housing era in town brings its own interior quirks and opportunities.
Split levels and backsplits
Short runs of stairs between levels can feel closed in. Replacing solid half-walls with open railings and adding lighting at each landing makes the levels read as one home.
1990s two-storey homes
Curved oak staircases with spindles, sunken or step-down family rooms and arched openings are common. Updating treads, railings and floor levels can modernize the house without changing its footprint.
Older houses near the historic downtown
Original trim, window casings and room proportions may be worth keeping. We look for ways to update lighting, flooring and flow while respecting those details.
Bright, connected main floors
A frequent goal is to bring more daylight from the rear windows into the centre of the house, which affects which walls open and which stay.

Planning & Permits
Planning an Interior Remodel
Changing a layout touches more than walls. Heating registers, return air paths, switches and plumbing vents may sit in a wall you want gone, and floor heights can differ where rooms were added or step down. We identify those conditions early so the design accounts for them.
Older ceiling textures can sometimes contain asbestos, so we recommend testing before any removal and plan the work around the results.
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
Interior Remodeling Questions in Newmarket
Can you make my Newmarket main floor open concept?
Often you can open it partly or fully. It depends on which walls carry load, what services run through them and how you want rooms to function. We review the structure and suggest options, sometimes a wide opening works better than removing a wall entirely.
Is a permit required for interior remodeling in Newmarket?
Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required, typically for structural changes, new openings in load-bearing walls or altered plumbing and HVAC. Purely cosmetic updates generally involve less. We help you confirm with the Town of Newmarket.
Can my oak staircase be updated without replacing it?
In many homes, yes. New treads or caps, painted risers and modern railings or glass panels can transform a staircase while reusing its structure. We assess the stringers and existing finishes first.
Can you level a sunken family room?
It is often possible to raise the floor to match the adjacent level, though it affects doors, stairs, registers and ceiling height. We explain the trade-offs before you decide.
Can we live at home during the remodel?
Many clients do. We phase the work, set up dust containment and keep pathways clear so the household can keep functioning.
