MAJOR RENOVATIONS · LINDSAY

Renovations of Lindsay homes

Lindsay has a fine stock of brick homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s on its tree-lined streets, along with mid-century bungalows and newer homes further out. Older houses here have bay windows, steep gables and wide verandahs, and they deserve renovations that respect them.

We restore the outside and rethink the inside: kitchens that suit modern cooking, better bathrooms, updated wiring and plumbing, and insulation that makes old homes comfortable in winter.

Renovating an older Lindsay house

Permits come from the City of Kawartha Lakes. Older homes often reveal knob-and-tube wiring, old plumbing or uneven framing once opened, so we plan inspections early and keep room in the budget. Lots near the Scugog River may need extra review.

Town living in an older home

Lindsay's older streets are a short walk from the main street, the river and the shops, which is a big reason owners stay. A careful renovation lets an older house keep up with modern life, with good kitchens, comfortable bedrooms and reliable systems, while keeping its place on a street with real character.

  • Vsevolod M

    Great company to work with. Attention to details, customer service and friendly communication.
    Highly recommend.

  • Laura Barrett

    After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.

    From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.

    The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.

    Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
    We are so happy with the final results!

  • J Oxley
