General Contractor Old Ottawa South

Old Ottawa South is a General Contractor's dream. It's one of Ottawa's classic character neighbourhoods, where Craftsman and American Foursquare homes line the streets near the Rideau Canal, Sunnyside, and Brighton.

This is an affluent neighbourhood, and a community where homeowners and homebuyers expect more than a basic renovation. They expect work that lands with respect, that matches the home's original 1900s charm while elevating it to modern standards. KV Construction is a Red Seal certified team who brings pride in our work while offering honest quotes, realistic timelines, and straight answers from estimate to final walkthrough and beyond.

Renovating Old Ottawa South's Century Homes

So many of Old Ottawa South's homes date back a hundred years, and they've seen at least one renovation in that time. That history is part of the appeal, but it also means every project comes with its own set of surprises. Knob-and-tube wiring, original lath and plaster walls, and pebbly foundations are all common in homes of this era.

We're here to help and start every job with a call about your project. Usually we schedule a full walkthrough so we can identify the homeowner's wants – and the building's needs – before building a scope that fits your budget. Doing your renovation right from the start protects your investment for years, especially in a neighbourhood where homes hold their value as they do in Old Ottawa South.

Specializing in Updating Bathrooms and Kitchens

Original bathrooms and kitchens in a Craftsman or Foursquare home are weird to say the least. And that's not to say mid-century renovations are much better. Disjointed layouts, black and white tile counters, and gloomy light fixtures are typical in these older homes.

If you're ready for an update we do it all. KV Construction will handle your full kitchen renovations, from layout changes and cabinetry to countertops, lighting, and plumbing. Bathroom remodels range from a simple paint and fixture refresh to a complete gut and rebuild. If your home hasn't already replaced the original knob-and-tube wiring, it's the right time to address while we're already in there. You'll get a finished space that is built to the standard a future buyer expects.

Basement Finishing

With so many older single-family homes in Old Ottawa South, most renovation demand includes unfinished basements. Charming character homes often have basements that were either not finished, or never meant for living space. Low ceilings, exposed foundations, and a range of mechanical systems are common.

Finishing one of these spaces is more than gyprock and paint — we need to think about the foundation and insulation issues first. The advantage is space, and you get your pick of a rec room, home office, or guest space. You guide us, and we'll make sure that the finished space doesn't feel like an afterthought.

Additions, Garages, and More

An addition on a Craftsman or Foursquare home has to match the roofline, trim details, window proportions, and material choices of the original. This is where our carpentry skills shine — we take pride in making sure your renovation has charm.

We'll design an attached garage or addition to work with your home's existing style, so the new space looks like it was always there. Whether it's a rear extension for a larger kitchen and family room, a second-storey addition, or a garage conversion, we've got your project covered.
