Project Overview: 

This project was completed in 3 different stages and involved a significant portion of the house. Probably the biggest issue was the stairway to 2nd floor. The original home was a farmhouse with a variety of additions and the staircase did not have sufficient headroom to get even a queen size bed up: big problem. Well, we ripped it all open and reframed a beautiful spiral stairs from the 1st floor up to the attic. We love the new bathrooms and kitchens, but the staircase was really challenging and it’s probably our most favourite part of the project.

We also built this project for the client while they were living in the Middle East. We appreciated their patience and trust in us while they were away

Client’s Testimonial

“Hiring a contractor can be daunting, but I have done the work for you. I found Renelive Home Improvement and could not be more pleased with the work, the service, the attention to detail, and the overall cost. I started with the idea of doing just a few things at my century home but over time, I ended up renovating virtually my entire house. Mark Aston and his crew were up for the challenge…including replacing every window in the house and waterproofing the foundation. One of the challenges I gave Mark was to solve staircase access from the main floor to the second. Mark ultimately proposed a solution that has become an architectural feature in the house. Ashton assembled a top-notch crew on my project from plumbers (Tony), to painters (Barry) to electricians and other trades. One of the best things about Ashton is that they are always there for you if something goes awry….which in a century home is more likely than not. Ashton has always stood behind the quality of their work and I know I have a partner in them at all times. I highly recommend Ashton Renovations for your next project.”
