General Contractor Barrhaven

Barrhaven is a community of homeowners where pride of ownership means having a great general contractor in your network. This is a neighbourhood where families settle in for the long haul.

Subdivisions like Stonebridge, Chapman Mills, Longfields, Davidson Heights, and Half Moon Bay are about 78% single family homes with a 90% owner-occupancy rate. And KV Construction is at your service.

We're a Red Seal certified team that is based here. Owner Shawn Villeneuve knows Barrhaven's houses inside and out and even built some of these homes early in his career — from the 1980s and 90s subdivisions to the newer golf course communities going up today.

Whatever state your home is in, and whenever it was built, we bring honest timelines and straight answers from estimate to final walkthrough.

Renovating a Barrhaven Home, Whatever Its Era

Chances are your kitchen, bathrooms, and mechanicals are still close to original. Dated cabinetry, worn work surfaces, and older windows are common in these subdivisions.

Sometimes a whole home needs attention. That's why we start every project with a full walkthrough so we can identify these issues before work begins, then build a scope that fits your budget and your home's specific needs.

If you're in a newer build near Half Moon Bay or one of the golf-course-adjacent communities, your renovation needs are different. These homes are often structurally newer but came with off-the-shelf, builder-grade finishes. Not to mention roofs past their prime, gaps in siding, and failing fencing.

Unfinished basements and layouts that don't quite work for your family are common. We work with the good, the old, and the weird — whether that means updating a 30-year-old bungalow or customizing a five-year-old two-storey to fit how your family actually lives.

Kitchen and Bathroom Updates

Your kitchen and bathrooms see the most daily use, and in a lot of homes in the area, they're also the rooms that have aged the least gracefully. We handle full kitchen renovations — from layout changes and cabinetry to countertops, lighting, and plumbing — as well as bathroom remodels that range from a simple refresh to a full gut and rebuild.

The result of a good kitchen or bathroom reno is that it looks like it was always meant to be there. We choose finishes to a standard that holds up to daily family life, with the added benefit that you'll want to spend time there.

Basement Finishing and Secondary Suites

With nearly all of Barrhaven's housing built as single-family detached homes, basements represent some of the most underused square footage in the neighbourhood. For families who've put down roots in Barrhaven and aren't planning to move, finishing the basement is one of the smartest investments you can make — whether that's a rec room and home office, or a fully self-contained secondary suite for a parent, adult child, or rental income.

Secondary suites come with real requirements: egress windows, proper ceiling height, fire separation, and a layout that meets City of Ottawa code. We confirm zoning rules for your lot early on so there are no surprises partway through the build, and we build to code so the project passes inspection the first time.
