Renovation for homes in Ritchie
Older cottages and bungalows are being joined by a wave of new infill houses and garden suites.
Renovating an older home often means updating wiring, plumbing and insulation once walls are open, so plan for surprises and look for a contractor who has worked on character homes.
Infill and garden suites are common here; a contractor can help with the City permits, the build and the finishing.
On some lots a garden suite can go above or beside a detached garage, with City approval.
Many owners are redoing basements that were finished decades ago, often down to the studs.
