Retirement Retreat
This modern bungalow renovation transformed a dated 1980s home into a comfortable, retirement-ready retreat. The homeowners, preparing for their next chapter, wanted a warm and inviting space that prioritized both style and function.
To achieve this, we removed walls and reconfigured spaces, creating a seamless open-concept layout. The basement walls required crucial repairs, ensuring long-term structural integrity. Brighter, larger doors were installed to maximize natural light, enhancing the home’s airy feel.
A spacious kitchen with an island became the heart of the home, offering ample room for cooking and gathering. Carefully selected feature lighting, warm colours, and rich textures brought depth and personality to the space.
Now, the new owners enjoy a beautifully modernized bungalow designed for comfort, function, and years of joyful living.

- CustomerWe purchased a home built in the early 1980’s and everything inside was still original. We wanted to update and remodel both floors of the raised bungalow and we contracted Paul to do the work. From our very first meeting, we knew we made the right choice. Paul had excellent ideas on how we could maximize space, and the work that followed was done professionally and with great care to quality and craftsmanship. Paul’s construction team was professional, polite and a pleasure to work with. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and have no hesitation in recommending Paul for any construction or remodeling work.
