Home Renovations in Barrie & Simcoe County


Reimagine Your Home...

A good renovation should feel like it belongs to the home.  Whether it’s a kitchen, bathroom, main floor, addition, or full-home renovation, we look at the structure, layout, budget, and long-term value before recommending a direction.

Because we come from a custom home building background, we understand what is behind the walls — not just what you see when the work is finished.

Kitchen & Bath

Transform the spaces you use every day with thoughtful layouts, quality cabinetry, carefully selected finishes and attention to the details that make a difference.

Main Floor & Structural Renovations

Create more functional living spaces through improved layouts, open-concept designs, structural modifications and carefully coordinated interior transformations.

Basement Renovations

Make better use of your home's existing space with comfortable family rooms, entertainment areas, home offices, guest accommodations and practical basement layouts.

Whole Home Renovations

Reimagine your existing home through a coordinated renovation approach that considers the overall layout, structural requirements, finishes and how each space connects.   Add a floor, add an addition, change your main floor layout. 


BUILT WITH EXPERIENCE

Renovations From A Home Builder's Perspective

Many renovation projects involve far more than finishes and layouts. Structural changes, permit requirements, engineering coordination, and long-term planning all play an important role in ensuring the work is completed properly.

As custom home builders since 2001, we approach renovations with a full understanding of how homes are constructed from the ground up — allowing us to guide projects with clarity, experience, and attention to detail from start to finish.

We discuss what you want to improve and identify important considerations before moving forward.

We work through the proposed scope, layout considerations, finishes and construction requirements.

Where necessary, we coordinate with qualified design professionals and help plan for permits and approvals.


3

We coordinate the renovation, manage the work and communicate with you throughout the project.

We focus on workmanship, organization and the details that bring the finished space together.

Renovations are not just about making a space look better. The work has to make sense for the home, the budget, and the way you live.


Our role is to help you make good decisions before construction begins, then manage the work with care once it starts.


Most homeowners know what they want to improve, but they do not always know what is involved. That is where experience matters.


We help you understand what is possible, what may require permits or structural planning, and what choices will give the home the most long-term value.

1

Discovery & Consultation

We meet to understand your vision, budget, and timeline. We walk through your home,
listen to your goals, and start shaping what's possible.

2

Design & Planning

Our team creates detailed plans, selects materials, and finalizes the scope of work. You
review and approve everything before anything begins.

3



Project Management & Execution

We'll help you handle all required permits and municipal approvals so your renovation is fully
compliant.

4


Demolition & Structural Work

Out with the old. We carefully remove what needs to go and address any structural repairs
or updates before building begins.

5


Mechanical Rough-in


Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC specialists install all the systems inside the walls —

wiring, pipes, and ductwork — before they're closed in.

6


Insulation & Drywall


Insulation goes in for energy efficiency, then drywall closes the walls and ceilings, creating

the canvas for your finished space.

7


Finishing & Fixtures


Paint, flooring, cabinetry, tile, lighting, and fixtures all come together. This is where your

design choices come to life.

8


Final Inspection & Walk-through


We do a thorough quality check, complete all municipal inspections, and walk through your

finished home together before handover.

9


Handover & Aftercare


We hand things over for you to enjoy your new space.  Our team remains available after completion — your satisfaction doesn't end at handover.

Note:  Every home is unique. Timelines may vary based on scope — Lilac Homes will give you a personalized schedule from day one.

Functional Basement  Renovations

A finished basement should feel connected to the rest of the house. Whether it’s adding a family space, a home office, a media/theater room, or a guest area, we focus on practical layouts, comfort, and proper planning from the start.

Kitchen Renovations

A kitchen renovation should improve the way the home works day to day. We focus on practical layouts, quality finishes, and spaces that feel natural within the home — not overdesigned or forced.

Bathroom Renovations

Bathroom renovations should feel clean, functional, and built to last. From simple updates to full redesigns, we focus on thoughtful layouts, quality workmanship, and long-term value.

Whole Home Renovations

Complete redesign, update, and repairing most or all areas of your house.  Structural changes, new layouts and system upgrades.


Your Ideas

Your ideas.   Your vision of how you want your project to look like.  Your list of items and elements that you would want included. Your style ideas. We'll help you visualize your project, answer your questions and bring it towards becoming a reality. 


Your Wishlist
Modern white kitchen with wood countertops, a large stove, and a central island opening to a sunny outdoor patio.

A list of all of the finer details of your home. Detailed exterior, interior and structural requirements.  Since each homeowner is different, we understand you may desire certain items. That difference is what makes a home unique. We prefer to accommodate our clients "wish list". This helps us personalize this list to suit their specific needs. 


Your Lifestyle

Ultimately you will live in the home. We will provide guidance and schedule meetings quite frequently to keep our clients informed as to what is going on onsite. This minimizes items being completed blindly.  Our designs ensure your floor plan has a great layout - your style of living, your features.

LILAC HOMES INC - RENOVATION QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Renovation Questions:

This is the text area for this paragraph. To change it, simply click and start typing.

Do you handle permits for the renovations?

Yes. If your renovation requires permits, drawings, inspections, or municipal approvals, we can help guide that process.

Can Lilac Homes handle structural renovation work?

Yes. We've built many custom homes since 2001.  We understand structural changes, framing, engineering coordination, and how a structural renovation can affect the rest of the home.

Can we remain in our home during construction?

That depends on the scope of the renovation. Some projects allow homeowners to remain in part of the home, while more extensive renovations may require temporary accommodation.

Do you only do interior renovations?

No. We can help structural exterior updates, and full-home renovations.

How early should we contact you?

The earlier the better. It is always easier to plan properly before drawings, finishes, and budgets are too far along.

Will you tell us if something does not make sense?

Yes. That is part of our role. We want the project to be done properly, and sometimes that means giving honest advice before work begins.
