Village home renovations in Fenelon Falls

Fenelon Falls is a small village built around the falls and the lock on the Trent–Severn Waterway. Its streets have older storey-and-a-half houses, cottages and family homes, many with low upper floors and small rooms.

Renovations here often add space without changing the footprint: new dormers that turn a tight upstairs into real bedrooms, built-ins around a fireplace, and fresh siding and porches that suit the village.

  • 01 / DORMERS

    More headroom and light upstairs.

  • 02 / BUILT-INS

    Shelving and storage around the fireplace.

  • 03 / PORCHES

    Covered fronts for village life.

  • 04 / CITY PERMITS

    Applications to the City of Kawartha Lakes.

What a Fenelon Falls renovation involves

Building permits are issued by the City of Kawartha Lakes. Adding dormers changes the roof structure, so it is engineered and permitted. Homes close to the river or lakes may need additional review, which we confirm early.

04 / IN FOCUSMAJOR RENOVATIONS · FENELON FALLS

Small houses, smart space

Many Fenelon Falls houses sit on compact village lots, so growing outward is not always possible. Dormers, finished attics, built-in storage and better use of halls and stairs can add the space a family needs without losing the yard or crowding the neighbours, and keep the house in scale with the street.
