Home Renovation in Ingersoll
Home renovations for Ingersoll's older brick houses, post-war neighbourhoods, newer builds and rental properties, a short drive down the 401 from Woodstock.
Ingersoll has a lot of the same housing story as Woodstock on a smaller scale. The older streets near the downtown and the Thames River have brick houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s with plaster walls, wiring that has been added to over the decades, bathrooms fitted into rooms built for something else, and kitchens at the back of the house. Opening those kitchens into the dining room is the most common request, and the wall is load-bearing often enough that a beam, a building permit and a structural design are part of the conversation from the start. Further out, the post-war and later subdivisions have small kitchens, one or two bathrooms and dated finishes in houses that are otherwise sound, and those tend to be simpler jobs with big results: soffits out, cabinets to the ceiling, a tub replaced with a proper tiled shower. Newer houses on the edges of town usually want finishes changed rather than walls moved. Investors buying older houses in Ingersoll need kitchens, bathrooms and floors that stand up to tenants, built on a schedule that respects a turnover date. Renovating existing legal units is work we take on; changing the number of units starts with the Town of Ingersoll's planning and building staff. Every job starts with a site visit where structure, the electrical panel and the plumbing get checked before a number is written down, and travel from Woodstock is built into the quote up front.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to work outside Woodstock?
Not inside the city. For Ingersoll, Tavistock, Innerkip, Plattsville, Drumbo and rural properties across Oxford County, travel is built into the quote up front rather than added afterwards, so the number you agree to is the number.
What is different about renovating a rural property?
Mostly the things you cannot see. Adding or moving a bathroom or laundry on a septic system raises the question of whether the system can take it, which is a permit matter. Well water is often hard and sometimes carries iron, which matters when you choose fixtures and shower glass. Older farmhouses have floors and walls that are well out of level and square. All of it is looked at during the quote.
