Fantastic experience with them! The team was professional, attentive, and delivered high-quality work on time and within budget. Highly recommend for anyone building or renovating their home!
Andare did an amazing job renovating my house, they turned an old and boring basement into a modern and exciting place. Their attention to detail was astounding and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Andare took our outdated house and turned it into a modern, functional space. The new addition blends seamlessly with the existing structure.
The attention to detail is incredible. The Andare team has just finished building my home and I'm absolutely blown away. I've been living in here for just under a month now and I still haven't found a single flaw, you can really see their experience and craftsmanship in every part of the home.
Our basement went from an unfinished storage space to a fully functional family room. Amazing transformation, 5 stars, 100% recommend.
Andare delivered excellent quality and great service. The team was professional and made everything easy.
Your mature house, university-area property, townhome, or newer suburban home may carry competing uses. We define who needs privacy and which rooms stay shared. You see whether bedrooms, offices, kitchens, or living space create the main conflict. We avoid forcing one household model onto the plan. Your renovation supports the people actually using it. Flexibility has a purpose.
Your lower level may appear suited to a legal suite. We verify height, exits, fire separation, parking, services, and zoning before drawing it that way. You learn what approval and construction would require. We coordinate laundry and mechanical space with both levels. Your investment follows a credible use. A finished basement does not become a misleading unit.
Your older structure may have additions or services from different eras. We investigate where new openings, kitchens, or bathrooms depend on them. You see which work can stay and which needs upgrading. We group new service routes to limit disruption. Your ceilings and floors remain orderly. Technical decisions support the room plan.
Your lot's grade, trees, driveway, and neighbouring homes shape any addition. We test those conditions before setting its size. You can compare more area with reorganizing the existing house. We confirm Waterloo zoning and permit requirements at your address. Your option fits the property. The yard remains useful.
Your construction access may cross a shared drive or active household route. We plan deliveries, parking, waste, and weather protection early. You know how work will affect daily use. We separate crews from retained rooms where possible. Your schedule includes neighbour-sensitive activity. The build proceeds with fewer surprises.
You cannot infer residential permission from an existing roof and four walls. We confirm the property, current unit count, proposed use and municipal path before we design kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms.
You also need the shell to carry current structure, fire safety, ventilation, insulation and services. We investigate those systems together, so one retained wall never forces six late compromises.
We compare retained foundation, framing, height, openings and setbacks with the plan you need. You see what the old building contributes and what it restricts.
A familiar footprint can reduce exterior change while still demanding major internal rebuilding. We price the retained and replaced boundaries separately, so the word conversion never hides reconstruction.
You may gain a better result from a new garden suite when the existing geometry works against access, daylight or structure. We test that alternative before sentiment commits the project.

You choose the use before we choose the assembly, because a workshop, guest room and dwelling create different approvals and services.
We document where conditioned space begins and ends, so storage never blurs into an unapproved sleeping room.
You add comfortable year-round use without claiming a separate dwelling.
You create private overflow space tied to the main household.
You coordinate sleeping, bathing and safe access around the permitted use.
You build a self-contained kitchen, bathroom and sleeping area after feasibility passes.
We decide whether the opening stays, shrinks or disappears before ordering windows. You see structure, sill height, drainage and exterior proportions together.
We coordinate the floor at the former vehicle threshold, so water cannot follow the old driveway into finished space.
If a 2,400 mm opening becomes glazing, we detail support and weather protection around that measured opening. You get daylight without preserving an uncontrolled air and water leak.
No. We confirm the parcel, unit count and live path with City of Waterloo before drawing residential rooms. Your condominium near Uptown Waterloo also needs suitable structure, access and services. You get feasibility evidence before design spending expands.
We compare the retained foundation, framing, height and openings with the result you need. A older house near Westmount may contribute useful structure or force costly compromises. You see both complete options before choosing.
We map capacity, elevations, route length and site conflicts from the main services to your newer home. Work near Beechwood can cross parking, trees or drainage. You see the trench and equipment route before layout decisions become fixed.
Usually, when we maintain safe access and essential services. Work beside Laurelwood may still create excavation, deliveries and planned shutdowns. We schedule those stages, so your main home remains functional.
We cannot set an honest duration until the approval path, retained shell, service route and access are known. We separate investigation, design, municipal review and construction. You see which condition controls the start.
Send the address, survey, interior and exterior photos, known permits, dimensions and intended use. We identify the first zoning, unit-count, structure, access or servicing question that can change the conversion.
