Home Renovations · Newmarket
Newmarket homes range from older houses close to Main Street to family subdivisions built over the last few decades. RENAWO helps owners update bathrooms, kitchens, basements and entire homes with careful planning and dependable workmanship.
RENAWO in Newmarket
Newmarket grew outward from its historic downtown, and you can read that growth in its streets. Close to Main Street and Fairy Lake, there are older homes with mature trees, original trim and rooms laid out for another century. Moving outward, post-war bungalows and backsplits give way to two-storey subdivision homes in neighbourhoods such as Glenway, Stonehaven, Summerhill and Woodland Hill.
Many owners in these homes are not looking to move. They like their street, their schools and their commute, and they would rather invest in making the house fit their next chapter. That usually starts with a bathroom or kitchen that has worn out, or a basement that could be doing much more.
RENAWO brings structure to that decision. We help you prioritize, plan the work in sensible phases if needed, and build each part to a standard you will be glad to live with.
Complete Renovation Services
From single-room updates to whole-home projects, here is how we approach each service for Newmarket houses.
01
Bathrooms are often the first room Newmarket homeowners want to tackle. Original fixtures, leaking tub surrounds, poor ventilation and limited storage are common in homes from the 1980s and 1990s, while older houses near downtown may have small bathrooms squeezed into awkward footprints.
We plan bathrooms around layout, waterproofing and lighting first, then finishes. A curbless or walk-in shower, a better vanity, heated floors or a more efficient fan can make the room noticeably more comfortable to use every day.
02
A typical Newmarket kitchen request involves more workspace, smarter storage and a layout that lets people cook and talk at the same time. In backsplits and bungalows, that can mean rethinking walls; in newer two-storey homes, it often means replacing the original cabinetry and adding an island.
RENAWO guides you through cabinetry, counters, flooring, lighting and appliance choices, keeping the design aligned with the rest of your house and your budget priorities.
03
Finished basements give Newmarket families room to spread out: a playroom, a media room, a quiet office, a guest suite or a place for older kids to have their own space.
Good basement work starts below the surface. We check for moisture, plan insulation and framing properly, consider egress and ceiling height, and lay out lighting and heating so the space feels like a real part of the home.
04
Interior remodeling suits homes that need a fresher, more connected feel. In Newmarket that frequently includes opening up a closed kitchen, updating a dated staircase, installing new flooring throughout the main level or replacing doors, trim and lighting.
For older homes near Main Street, we look for ways to keep the character worth keeping, such as original trim profiles or window placement, while improving how the rooms flow.
05
When a house needs a new kitchen, updated bathrooms, new flooring and layout changes, planning it all together usually produces a better result than piecemeal updates. It also means living through one renovation instead of several.
RENAWO manages full home renovations with a single plan and schedule, coordinating trades, inspections and finishing so the home comes together consistently from the lower level to the upper floor.
06
Smaller custom projects can make a big difference in daily life. Newmarket homeowners ask us for mudrooms that handle winter boots and gear, upgraded laundry rooms, built-in storage, home offices and accessibility updates that help people stay in their homes longer.
We treat these projects with the same planning discipline as larger work, defining the scope clearly and choosing materials suited to the space.
Our Process
Whether it is one bathroom or the whole house, every Newmarket project moves through the same clear stages.
Local Insight
Newmarket’s historic core around Main Street includes some of the oldest homes in the area. Renovating them often involves working with older framing, plaster walls and earlier wiring or plumbing, and some properties have heritage considerations that affect what can change on the exterior.
Further out, established subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s make up much of the town. These homes are generally well built but were designed around formal living rooms, closed kitchens and modest bathrooms. Updating them is usually about better flow, better storage and finishes that suit how people live now.
Houses near Main Street may need system updates and careful handling of original details.
These layouts often benefit from opened kitchens and reworked lower levels.
Common priorities include ensuites, kitchens and finished basements.
