We remodeled this unassuming mid-century home from top to bottom. An entire third floor and two outdoor decks were added. As a bonus, we made the whole thing accessible with an elevator linking all three floors.
The 3rd floor was designed to be built entirely above the existing roof level to preserve the vaulted ceilings in the main level living areas. Floor joists spanned the full width of the house to transfer new loads onto the existing foundation as much as possible. This minimized structural work required inside the existing footprint of the home. A portion of the new roof extends over the custom outdoor kitchen and deck on the north end, allowing year-round use of this space.
Exterior finishes feature a combination of smooth painted horizontal panels, and pre-finished fiber-cement siding, that replicate a natural stained wood. Exposed beams and cedar soffits provide wooden accents around the exterior. Horizontal cable railings were used around the rooftop decks. Natural stone installed around the front entry enhances the porch. Metal roofing in natural forest green, tie the whole project together.
On the main floor, the kitchen remodel included minimal footprint changes, but overhauling of the cabinets and function. A larger window brings in natural light, capturing views of the garden and new porch. The sleek kitchen now shines with two-toned cabinetry in stained maple and high-gloss white, white quartz countertops with hints of gold and purple, and a raised bubble-glass chiseled edge cocktail bar. The kitchen’s eye-catching mixed-metal backsplash is a fun update on a traditional penny tile.
The dining room was revamped with new built-in lighted cabinetry, luxury vinyl flooring, and a contemporary-style chandelier. Throughout the main floor, the original hardwood flooring was refinished with dark stain, and the fireplace revamped in gray and with a copper-tile hearth and new insert.
During demolition our team uncovered a hidden ceiling beam. The clients loved the look, so to meet the planned budget, the beam was turned into an architectural feature, wrapping it in wood paneling matching the entry hall.
The entire day-light basement was also remodeled, and now includes a bright & colorful exercise studio and a larger laundry room. The redesign of the washroom includes a larger showering area built specifically for washing their large dog, as well as added storage and countertop space.
This is a project our team is very honored to have been involved with, build our client’s dream home.

This is a "Joshua" from Vintage Porch Swings in Charleston SC. It has a vintage white finish with our fabrics package. See our website at www.vintageporchswings.com or visit us on Facebook.

Our clients, a family of professionals with 2 young kids, approached us to renovate their early 2000’s Toronto home to make it better suit the needs of their family. Although they were happy with the Kitchen layout, they requested that we update the existing cabinetry, and add additional cabinetry for increased storage. In the Laundry Room, they needed a storage solution for cleaning materials, and an updated laundry sink. They wanted the Basement to be a comfortable family space to spend time together, and for the kids to have a space to play.
The Kitchen cabinets were dated and starting to fall apart, and the Master En-Suite was dated and awkwardly shaped, with a tight walk-in shower.
In the Basement, the HVAC bulkhead was awkward and unsightly, and the space was not ideal for the kids to play, due to outdated carpeting, and a lack of storage space for their toys.
We spent time getting to know our clients to design a space that optimized functionality and comfort for their family.
In the Kitchen, we kept the existing layout, but added a tall cabinet for pantry and broom storage. A new island was built with a space to accommodate a built-in microwave, to keep it from cluttering the countertop. The new white oak tall cabinets and island cabinets were complimented by light coloured marble-looking quartz countertops and the handmade subway tile backsplash for a fresh, updated look.
In the Master Ensuite, we replaced the large, dated deck-mounted tub with a semi-freestanding tub, tucked nicely into the corner. The extra space this created allowed us to add a walk-in shower without the awkward angle that had existed prior to the renovation. The new walk-in shower featured a ceiling mounted showerhead, and a useful ledge for toiletries. We even had enough space to add a bonus make-up table to match the new double vanity. Both were custom built to be floating for a modern look, and easier maintenance.
In the Laundry Room, we installed the washer and dryer side by side, instead of stacked. This allowed for a long working countertop and upper storage cabinets that were custom built. Additionally, a hanging rack installed above the sink is perfect for drying small items, and the adjustable shelves and dividers in the custom built cabinetry will provide plenty of convenient space to store cleaning materials.
In the Basement, we widened the bulkhead to allow us to center the wall-mounted TV, and added custom media cabinets with floating shelves to accommodate electronics.
The space was made more comfortable for the kids to play with new vinyl heated flooring, and tall cabinets with adjustable shelves, dividers, and deep drawers to keep all of their toys organized.
All of these updates provided our clients with a home that fits their family’s needs and lifestyle.

The owners of this Hopkins two-story home were looking to transform a 3-season porch into a new great room, while adding a finished basement bedroom below and amazing deck above; and make it look like it was always there - part of the original house.
The basement was designed and constructed for Minnesota winters. After the site was excavated, new walls were constructed beginning with R-10 Exterior Insulation and waterproofing on a newly poured concrete foundation. Then framing up walls and finally installing the drywall. Drain tile and a sump pump were installed around the perimeter to keep moisture out and the bedroom dry. A second HVAC system was also added to provide separate zoned heating in the basement and first floor.
The new basement’s 480 sq. ft. space includes bedroom with large walk-in closet and additional storage accessible from the adjacent existing family room. Two side-by-side egress windows were installed to make this a legal bedroom. The bonus: The windows brighten the bedroom with lots of natural light from a southern exposure. In the exterior photo you can see a unique window well treatment, using larger rocks and boulders to create a natural look while meeting building codes.
The first floor Great Room is just that: almost 500 sq. feet of open, bright space off the existing kitchen. Makes home entertaining easy.
A sliding glass door and short flight of stairs invites guests into the back yard patio for a bonfire, barbeque, or some putting. The patio features a unique design using stone slabs of varying shapes to create a one-of-a-kind look.
On the second floor we replaced a window and added a sliding glass door for easy access to the new deck. It’s made with the same materials and design used on the ground level patio. To keep water, snow, and ice outside the roof is made with a special membrane surrounded by an integral gutter with downspouts.
The post-to-post tempered glass railings make this deck feel wide open to a surprisingly secluded back yard.
Finally, we used grey cement board for the siding, matching the white trim around doors and windows.
This project added almost 1,000 sq. ft. of interior living space and another 500 sq. ft. of second floor deck, constructed in a way to last a lifetime. And the addition really doesn’t look like an addition. It feels wide open to a surprisingly secluded back yard.

This customer loves their marble – and we love it too! Marble floors, marble countertops, and a marble backsplash all convey the elegance of this kitchen. The ProV WC is a strong focal point; it complements the predominately white and gray kitchen well.
The ProV WC is one of our most customizable wall range hoods. It comes with a chimney, too! As an added bonus, the chimney is telescoping, meaning it can retract and expand to fit in your kitchen. The control panel is easily accessible under the hood, and it features a Rheostat knob to adjust your blower power. There's not set speeds on this model; just turn the knob to find the perfect speed depending on what you are cooking.
The ProV WC also features a unique look with slanted stainless steel baffle filters, as the baffle filters in most of our models sit flat under the hood. These filters are dishwasher safe to keep you less focused on cleaning and more focused on cooking in the kitchen.
Finally, the ProV WC features two different blower options: a 1200 CFM local blower or a 1300 CFM inline blower. It's the only model that gives you the option to install your blower in the ductwork, and not inside the range hood itself!

At Komandor we can do anything! All these projects were cleverly designed and installed in one condo. The bedroom features a Murphy bed with surrounding custom cabinetry that wraps around seamlessly to a closet with beautiful white painted glass bifold doors that open to expose a matching closet organizer. More cabinetry flanks the reach in closet and also functions as a wall in which sliding doors reside while in an opened position on a triple track exposing the entire space. A two toned floating shelving unit is placed in front of this cabinet creating a “faux pocket” hiding the sliding doors when they are stacked behind each other. These sliding glass doors are the perfect blend of style and functionality. The adjacent room features a wall unit with open shelving with a darker contrasting backing and shaker style cabinet fronts with glass inserts. There is even a built in wine rack! Komandor will turn your design dreams into functional stylistic reality!!

The Kitchen cabinets were dated and starting to fall apart, and the Master En-Suite was dated and awkwardly shaped, with a tight walk-in shower.
In the Basement, the HVAC bulkhead was awkward and unsightly, and the space was not ideal for the kids to play, due to outdated carpeting, and a lack of storage space for their toys.
We spent time getting to know our clients to design a space that optimized functionality and comfort for their family.
In the Kitchen, we kept the existing layout, but added a tall cabinet for pantry and broom storage. A new island was built with a space to accommodate a built-in microwave, to keep it from cluttering the countertop. The new white oak tall cabinets and island cabinets were complimented by light coloured marble-looking quartz countertops and the handmade subway tile backsplash for a fresh, updated look.
In the Master Ensuite, we replaced the large, dated deck-mounted tub with a semi-freestanding tub, tucked nicely into the corner. The extra space this created allowed us to add a walk-in shower without the awkward angle that had existed prior to the renovation. The new walk-in shower featured a ceiling mounted showerhead, and a useful ledge for toiletries. We even had enough space to add a bonus make-up table to match the new double vanity. Both were custom built to be floating for a modern look, and easier maintenance.
In the Laundry Room, we installed the washer and dryer side by side, instead of stacked. This allowed for a long working countertop and upper storage cabinets that were custom built. Additionally, a hanging rack installed above the sink is perfect for drying small items, and the adjustable shelves and dividers in the custom built cabinetry will provide plenty of convenient space to store cleaning materials.
In the Basement, we widened the bulkhead to allow us to center the wall-mounted TV, and added custom media cabinets with floating shelves to accommodate electronics.
The space was made more comfortable for the kids to play with new vinyl heated flooring, and tall cabinets with adjustable shelves, dividers, and deep drawers to keep all of their toys organized.
All of these updates provided our clients with a home that fits their family’s needs and lifestyle.

Our clients, a family of professionals with 2 young kids, approached us to renovate their early 2000’s Toronto home to make it better suit the needs of their family.
