Bloor West First-floor renovation of the kitchen, stairs and living room
Veronique and her husband Guillaume live with their two kids in Bloor West Village in a three-bedroom semi-detached home. When they moved into the house, the main floor’s kitchen, dining and living room were divided and cramped. The floors and the stairs were worn down from over a hundred years of use. The stairs were definitely not to code and did not feel safe for their kids.
After we gutted the interior, we re-did the main floor from studs to finishing work. In the kitchen, we added new countertops, backsplash, plumbing, and sink. We re-did the stairs, added insulation, new windows, and doors. In the living room, we also built a custom bookshelf in the old brick fireplace.

What the Client Said About the Project
We needed to open up our semi-detached to give it a more modern open concept feel. The house felt very dated. Our neighbours used Oriel and were very happy with the team. We looked at other contractors but they promise the moon and don’t deliver the stars, which we had learned from a previous experience.
Jacob and his crew gutted the house, re-did the floors, staircase and finished the kitchen and living room. The work was top quality and the experience was relaxed. Thank God because I was pregnant. Jacob is great. He doesn’t over promise but over-delivers. Everything seems possible. He is very positive and thoughtful. It was very easy to talk to him and his crew. He stuck to his timeline and we also got regular updates.
