Oakville The house is from 1990. The ensuite still thinks it is.
Bathroom and home renovations in Oakville
Albany Contracting Group does bathroom renovations and home renovations in Oakville, from Hamilton. Most Oakville houses are detached. Plenty are old enough now to want a new bathroom, a dry basement or a better porch.
Two Oakvilles: the lake streets and the 1980s and 90s crescents
Oakville is mostly houses, and most of them aren't new. From the public record:
- Mostly detached43,130 of Oakville's 73,555 occupied homes are single-detached houses, 58.6%. (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census)
- The big middle is 1981 to 2000About one Oakville home in three (34.7%) was built in those twenty years. Only 8.1% were built in 1960 or before. (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census)
- Four heritage conservation districtsOld Oakville, First and Second Street, Trafalgar Road and Downtown Oakville. (Town of Oakville, Heritage Districts and Properties)
- Old Oakville came firstIt was set up in 1981, one of the first districts in Ontario. It runs south of Robinson Street to the lake, from Sixteen Mile Creek to Allan Street. (Town of Oakville)
- Some of the oldest houses line Trafalgar RoadThe Town says many homes in that district were built before 1860. (Town of Oakville)
- Changes to a designated house need a heritage permitListed, not designated, properties don't. The Town asks you to book a talk with a heritage planner first. (Town of Oakville, Heritage Permits)
- Any deck attached to the house needs a building permitSo does a freestanding one over 10 square metres and higher than 61 centimetres. (Town of Oakville, Building Permits)
Bathroom renovations in Oakville: the ensuite still has the builder's tub
A house built in the 1990s is past thirty now. If the bathrooms are original, you know the signs. The tub nobody uses. The tile with the grout gone grey. The fan that hums and does nothing.
Our bathroom renovations take the room back to what's solid, fix what we find behind the tile, then build it up again: shower or tub, tile, vanity, fixtures, light.
Basement waterproofing for Oakville homes: a damp corner every spring
It starts with a stain on the wall, or a box that's wet on the bottom. Then it happens again after the next big rain.
Basement waterproofing starts with finding where the water gets in. We look inside and out, then tell you what we'd do about it. Once it's dry, we can finish the basement too.
Stone and flagstone porches: the steps have seen too many winters
The flagstone is loose. The concrete steps have cracked at the edges. The railing moves when you lean on it.
We rebuild stone and flagstone porches, and we do the railings with them. If the house sits in one of Oakville's heritage districts, talk to the Town's heritage planners before the porch changes. Bring what they tell you to the consultation.

Do I need a permit for a deck or porch in Oakville?
For a deck, often yes. The Town of Oakville says any deck attached to a house needs a building permit. A freestanding one needs one too if it's over 10 square metres and higher than 61 centimetres. For a porch, ask the Town's Building Services.
My house is in Old Oakville. Can you still rebuild the porch?
Yes, once the Town has had its say. Changes to a designated heritage property need a heritage permit, so start with the Town's heritage planners and bring their answer to your consultation.
