Renovating Older Farmhouses and Village Homes Near Colborne

Bathrooms in older houses were often squeezed in after the fact, sometimes under a staircase or in what used to be a small bedroom. They tend to be tight and oddly shaped, with a window right where you'd want the shower. A good bathroom renovation works with that footprint. A shower in place of a tub, or a pocket door instead of a swing door, can make a cramped room comfortable. Depending on scope, budget $5,000 to $15,000 for the bathroom.

If your farmhouse kitchen has the space but the finishes have aged, you may not need to move anything. New counters, a backsplash, painted cabinets and updated fixtures change the room without moving plumbing, and that kind of update usually costs $5,000 to $12,000. If the layout truly doesn't work, a full kitchen renovation that rearranges it starts around $15,000.

Lining up separate trades for demo, drywall, tile and paint is hard anywhere, and harder in a smaller community where few of them want to make the drive. With one person managing every stage, the job doesn't stall while you wait for the next trade to show up. You get a written estimate broken down by phase. At the end, we go through the finished room together and fix anything that needs adjusting.
