Project Executive Summary:

Urban RenoProjects completed a comprehensive full home renovation in Oshawa, Ontario, transforming an approximately 5,500 sq. ft. detached home through extensive interior remodeling, basement finishing, layout improvements, and coordinated finish upgrades.

The renovation focused on creating a more functional, modern, and cohesive living environment while bringing multiple areas of the home together under one carefully managed renovation plan.

The project included the finishing of approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of basement space, a complete kitchen renovation with an open-concept conversion, three full bathroom renovations, hardwood flooring installation and refinishing, interior painting, and targeted first-floor layout changes.

A key objective was to ensure that each renovated space connected naturally with the next. From the basement and main living areas to the kitchen, bathrooms, and updated finishes, every component was coordinated to create a consistent look and feel throughout the home.

Renovation Scope

Urban RenoProjects planned and coordinated the renovation from the initial site review through construction, finishing, quality control, and final handover.

The scope of work included:

  • Pre-construction assessment, project planning, scheduling, and renovation coordination

  • Site protection, selective demolition, removal, and preparation for new construction

  • Complete finishing of approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of basement space

  • Basement construction, finishing, and coordination with the home's existing layout

  • Open-concept kitchen conversion and complete kitchen remodeling

  • Kitchen demolition, new finishes, installation, and final coordination

  • Porcelain tile flooring installation in the kitchen area

  • Complete renovation of three full bathrooms

  • First-floor layout reconfiguration involving the mudroom, bathroom area, and walk-in closet

  • Hardwood flooring installation and refinishing throughout the main living areas

  • Flooring transitions and finish coordination between renovated spaces

  • Interior surface preparation and painting

  • Coordinated finish upgrades throughout the renovated areas

  • Final quality-control inspection, deficiency corrections, cleaning, and project handover

Open-Concept Kitchen Renovation

The kitchen was redesigned as part of the home's broader renovation, with the goal of creating a more open and connected living area.

The existing kitchen configuration was remodeled to support an open-concept layout, improving the relationship between the kitchen and surrounding living spaces. The renovation also included porcelain tile flooring, coordinated cabinetry and finish installation, and detailed transition work between the kitchen and adjacent areas.

Rather than treating the kitchen as an isolated renovation, Urban RenoProjects integrated it into the overall project so that materials, flooring, colours, and finishes complemented the rest of the home.

Three Full Bathroom Renovations

Three full bathrooms were renovated as part of the project, bringing updated finishes and improved functionality to the home's wet areas.

Each bathroom was coordinated with the broader renovation schedule, including demolition, preparation, installation, finishing, and final detailing.

The result was a consistent level of finish quality across all three bathrooms while allowing each space to function effectively within the home's overall layout.

First-Floor Layout Improvements

The first floor also received targeted layout modifications involving the mudroom, bathroom area, and walk-in closet.

The reconfiguration was designed to improve circulation and make better use of the available space. By coordinating the layout changes with the surrounding renovation work, Urban RenoProjects was able to improve functionality without compromising the overall design direction of the home.

Flooring & Interior Finishes

Flooring played an important role in tying the renovated areas together.

The project included hardwood flooring installation and refinishing throughout the main living areas, along with porcelain tile flooring in the kitchen. Flooring transitions were carefully coordinated with the surrounding finishes to create a continuous visual flow.

Interior painting and surface preparation further refreshed the home, helping establish a consistent finish throughout the renovated spaces.

2,500 Sq. Ft. Basement Finishing

One of the largest components of the renovation was the transformation of approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of unfinished basement space.

The basement was completed as an integrated part of the overall home renovation rather than as a separate project. Construction, flooring, finishes, painting, and final detailing were coordinated with the work taking place elsewhere in the home.

This approach helped create a finished lower level that feels connected to the rest of the residence while adding significant usable living space.

Construction Challenges & Solutions

Urban RenoProjects organized the renovation into coordinated phases, scheduling demolition, construction, wet-area work, flooring, painting, and finishing in a logical sequence. This helped protect completed work while allowing different trades to move efficiently through the property.

Integrating a Large Basement Renovation

The approximately 2,500 sq. ft. basement represented a substantial portion of the overall renovation. One challenge was ensuring that the newly finished lower level felt like a natural extension of the home.

Basement construction and finishing were incorporated into the same project plan and finish schedule as the main-floor renovations. This allowed materials, flooring, paint colours, and other finish elements to be coordinated across levels.

Creating Consistent Finishes Throughout the Home

Coordinating Multiple Renovation Areas Under One Project

A full home renovation requires multiple trades, materials, and construction phases to work together without disrupting completed areas.

With basement finishing, kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovations, flooring, painting, and layout modifications happening as part of one project, careful sequencing was essential.

Our Approach

The project involved several different renovation categories, including hardwood flooring, porcelain tile, a new kitchen, three bathrooms, basement finishing, painting, and layout changes.

Our Approach:
Urban RenoProjects coordinated materials, finish transitions, installation sequencing, and final detailing across the project. Quality-control reviews at each stage helped ensure that individual renovation areas worked together as one cohesive transformation.

The completed renovation delivered a substantial transformation of this Oshawa residence, including:

  • Approximately 5,500 sq. ft. detached home renovated.

  • Approximately 2,500 sq. ft. of basement space fully finished.

    After dealing with an emergent leak in our basement, we were left with a pile of work with odd jobs here and there but mostly including flooring and drywalling that needed to be done. Luckily Karan and his team came to our rescue and worked with us closely to develop a plan to resolve all the daunting new projects in a timely manner, taking all the stress and grief away. Karan himself was very responsive and knowledgeable, provided options based on different budgets and functions and provided pros and cons to help with the decision making process. He took the time to come and supervise the work to ensure it was being done as outlined. The job was done efficiently, professionally, and the rooms were even left clean once done. I would highly recommend them for your project. Very reliable!

  • Sayani S.

    This is our second renovation with UrbanRenoProjects. They completely changed my old 80’s kitchen to a Modern open concept kitchen space. Their professionalism, timeliness and attention to details are commendable. Karan remembered every single item from the wish list and fulfilled each one of them. This has completely changed, opened and brightened the interior of the house. When I look at the before pictures I almost can’t recognize.

  • Kshitij S.

    Kitchen Renovation: Karan has done amazing work. He completed the work within committed timelines, guided us what should be the best combination (flooring+countertop+shelf/organizer). I liked the way he drafted the contract to ensure we agreed what is in scope and not part of the job.
    Highly recommend him for any kind of renovation work.

  • Dylan C.

    From start to finish, Karan was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Communication was excellent throughout the project, his quote was competitive, and everything was completed exactly as promised.
    Karan came highly recommended to us, and he absolutely lived up to every expectation—and then some. The quality of work exceeded what we had hoped for, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free.

  • Steph G.

    Karan visited the work site daily, and senior staff were strict on junior staff, ensuring all work was done to high standards. They were very flexible and had a designer available when we decided to go a fancier route than originally discussed. The designer was able to quickly produce renderings of the accent walls for our rooms based on images we had found on the web, and helped us narrow-down the colours.

    We were very happy overall and will be calling on them again for other projects that we have lined-up.
