Whole-home renovations, additions and major remodeling designed to improve how your home looks, functions and supports the way you live today.
The strongest renovations solve the underlying problems in a home: poor layout, insufficient space, dated systems, limited storage, inadequate light and rooms that no longer fit the way the household lives.
Rework multiple spaces as one coordinated project rather than a series of disconnected upgrades.
Rear additions, second-storey additions and strategic extensions designed to create meaningful new space.
Improve layout, storage, lighting, circulation and the everyday experience of the heart of the home.
Refined, durable spaces with better functionality, comfort and material selections.
Open layouts, relocated walls and major interior changes coordinated with the required professional input.
Bring the full property together with coordinated improvements inside and out.
Maybe the kitchen is too small. Maybe the family has outgrown the layout. Maybe you want an additional bedroom, larger living space, better entertaining areas, a home office or a stronger connection to the backyard.
ACE starts with the outcome. The renovation plan is then built around the property, the existing conditions, your priorities and the level of investment that makes sense for the project.
For major projects, the best answer is not always “renovate.” Sometimes an addition solves the problem. In other cases, a tear-down/rebuild deserves serious consideration.
ACE's planning tools are designed to help homeowners compare those paths before committing to a large project.
Compare Renovate vs Rebuild →Real ACE project photography should ultimately show the complete story: before, during construction and after completion. These prototype panels establish the intended case-study presentation.
Major renovations become easier to manage when decisions are made in the right sequence.
Goals, property, pain points, budget and timing.
Existing conditions, scope and key constraints.
Layouts, drawings, selections and construction scope.
Applicable permits, procurement and coordinated construction.
Final details, walkthrough and handover.
Renovation costs vary significantly because two homes of the same size can hide very different conditions. Structural work, mechanical upgrades, existing deficiencies, cabinetry, windows, finishes and scope all affect the final investment.
Use the ACE Project Cost Planner as an early scenario tool. It is not a quote, but it can help you think through size, finish level and major features before the site review.
Open the Project Cost Planner →Compare the cost of adding space to the home you own with the cost of selling and buying a larger property.
It depends on the scope, budget, how connected the work is and whether future phases would require reopening finished areas. A coordinated whole-home plan can sometimes reduce duplication, but phasing may make sense when priorities or financing require it.
Yes. Major layout changes and additions are part of the renovation strategy. The project may require architectural, structural and other professional input depending on scope and municipal requirements.
Permit requirements depend on the work. Structural alterations, additions and many substantial changes generally require drawings and municipal approvals. The project should be reviewed before assuming a permit is or is not required.
Sometimes, but not always comfortably or efficiently. The answer depends on the extent of demolition, utilities, dust control, access, kitchens/bathrooms and the overall sequence. This should be discussed during planning.
It is intended as an early planning tool only. A meaningful construction proposal requires a defined scope, property review and sufficient design information.
