Home Renovation in Tavistock
Renovations for Tavistock's village houses and the farm properties around it, north of Woodstock.
Tavistock sits north of Woodstock in the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock, and renovation work there splits between houses in the village and farmhouses on the surrounding concessions. Village houses range from older brick and frame homes near the main streets to newer builds on the edges, and the work is what you would expect: kitchens opened up, bathrooms modernised, carpet replaced with harder-wearing floors. The farm properties are where the job changes. Walls and floors are often well out of square and level, which adds time to every cabinet run and every tiled floor. Wiring has usually been extended over the years to back kitchens, porches and outbuildings, and a renovation is the time to find out what is really in the walls. Many properties are on private wells, and hard water or iron is hard on fixtures and shower glass, which is worth planning around. The biggest question is often septic: adding a main-floor bathroom, moving a laundry up from the basement, or adding a bedroom raises whether the system can take it, and that is a permit matter handled through the township and Oxford County rather than a guess. Aging-in-place work suits many of these properties, where long-time owners want to stay on the property with a main-floor bedroom, laundry and a curbless shower. Travel is built into the quote from the start.

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.
