Oak Wood Renovation Experts

We came to OakWood knowing they had a professional design team on staff and for their stellar reputation in the industry for design and quality renovations. We were looking for a high end, high quality basement renovation to fit in with our current style and finish of our home. OakWood worked with us, listening to our ideas and delivered with a fantastic design.

It was important to us that we have a new usable space that did not look like a basement with a play area for the kids. Also, we absolutely wanted a high tech home theatre, with the latest technology wizardry and OakWood made it a reality, fulfilling our dreams. We have our friends and family over all the time to watch movies and it's as if we are at the theatre, except we are in the comfort of our own home.

As part of the design, OakWood also changed and relocated the stairs to a circular stair system, keeping in mind that we did not want the sensation of entering a basement. We love this feature, and think of OakWood every time we walk down the stairs.

Again, we are extremely pleased with OakWood and have recommended them too many people looking for a professional, high quality renovation company. Congratulations on the Consumer Choice Award and your continued success.

over 4 month period we had our kitchen main floor powder room gutted and replace. At the same time we had the popcorn ceiling in the kitchen and adjoining family room removed. Renovations are never stress free but having the people at Oakwood and their chosen trades in our home made it so much simpler and easier and a year later I still love what was done.

I hired Oakwood to design and build a large 2 floor rear yard addition. Oakwood is everywhere here in Ottawa and when I first compared them to others their prices seemed a bit higher than most until I asked the rest of them for more details. Oakwood gave me a very detailed estimate and unlike all of the other estimates they did not low-ball the price. Their estimate included everything from planning the job properly to drawing the plans and constructing the addition. They are really well organized and did a great job with all of the work. A clean jobsite with polite workers and I even had access to an internet portal to follow along with the project. Very impressive and I would highly recommend them to family and friends.

When we decided to have some major renovations done to our 1920s home, we knew the single most important decision we were going to make was which contractor to hire. Gutting a bathroom, taking out walls for added closet space, and taking the roof off an older home pretty much guarantees surprises along the way. Each time we encountered such a surprise or challenge, OakWood helped us make the right decisions. They were able to make what could have been a harrowing roller coaster ride a smooth one. Working with OakWood wasn’t just the most important decision we made, it was also the best decision we made.

From start to finish, OakWood worked with us to meet all challenges and deliver a stunning upgrade to our home. Everyone within OakWood - from the design team, the office staff, to the work crew - is professional, courteous, and highly skilled. Within a month of moving back into our home, the 6 month renovation process seemed a distant memory, which is a true testament to OakWood’s professional and dedicated approach.

We couldn’t be happier with our “new” home and we thank OakWood for making it happen.

I hired OakWood to renovate my Kitchen and they did an excellent job. The project did take one or two more days then expected, however, there are always unforeseen delays during renovation work. They provided excellent service & were friendly & helpful. I fully recommend this company to others looking to go forward with a renovation.

We had initially contracted another company to complete the renovations but delays and poor communication led us to ultimately hire Oakwood.

Our positive experience began with Janell and Sylvie who collaborated with us to bring our dream design to life. This included thoughtful advice about design solutions that anticipated and prevented problems before the build had even started. We then signed a contract which clearly delineated our respective responsibilities and obligations.

The excellent communication and collaboration continued with Wayne, who was our partner and principal point of contact during the build process. To say Wayne and his team were a pleasure to deal with would be an understatement. Even when the inevitable problem did arise, Wayne's calm, reassuring and personable attitude diffused any tension while he quickly acted to make things right. My wife and I were immensely grateful that he clearly communicated what was happening at each stage of the process and operated in a fully transparent manner.

Our renovations followed a well organized and detailed schedule and Oakwood defied the odds to have us back in our home before Christmas (I cannot begin to express our gratitude that Oakwood and their sub-contractors worked so tirelessly to make this happen).

Finally, I would like to say a word about the quality sub-contractors Oakwood uses. They were a truly exceptionally bunch who went above and beyond to meet our needs. Just one exceptional example of this involved one electrician who came to our home on the Saturday evening before Christmas (with his girlfriend!) to finish off one last thing before Christmas.

To summarize, Oakwood delivered our project on time (actually faster than expected), exactly on budget, while providing excellent collaboration, transparent communication, and an indefatigable commitment to delivering exactly what the client wants.

Can you tell I'm a happy customer? Chose Oakwood and you will be too!
