Our in-house design team, permits, and build crew work under one roof, so design intent carries straight through to the finished space.
Quality materials and proven detailing chosen for how you live, finished to the Ontario Building Code and built to hold up for the long run.
The price we quote is the price you pay. We scope the work properly before we start, so there are no lowball bids that balloon into surprise change orders later.

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Andare took our outdated house and turned it into a modern, functional space.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.
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 need the property record, existing conditions and proposed changes in one view before you need a finish palette. We distinguish protected character, repairable material and necessary new work, so the renovation never treats every old feature the same.
You show us how you use the home, what fails today and which features matter to you, while we record the heritage record and the existing fabric. You see the conflict early, so the home keeps meaningful character.
We test the proposed intervention beside the old-to-new junctions, so you see which move improves repair and replacement become clearer.
You compare complete options with water and drainage and electrical and lighting included, so a simpler drawing never hides harder construction.
We carry masonry, wood and plaster into the section and detail, so you understand what the visible choice requires behind it.
Planning heritage home renovations in Waterloo? Talk it through with our in-house design team.
Your scope can include record review, measured design, heritage coordination, permits, protection, selective demolition, repair, new work and restoration. We connect each item to a location and outcome.
You also see where artifact appraisal, archival research beyond the stated scope, incentives and concealed hazardous or deteriorated conditions remain separate, so the word complete never erases a boundary.
You conserve a defining room, facade or assembly.
You upgrade services and function around retained fabric.
You add space while keeping old and new understandable.
You coordinate structure, envelope, systems and character together.
We measure existing profiles, openings and room geometry, so you know whether the plan supports modern daily life.
We test a 3 mm survey tolerance at a retained trim junction, so the new work meets the old profile without a visibly wandering joint.
You see moisture paths, structure and heritage fabric together, so new work remains legible and compatible.
We check the current record with City of Waterloo and distinguish the applicable status. Your condominium near Uptown Waterloo gets a verified answer before design expands.
Often, but the proposed work and identified attributes matter. We show you where repair, compatible change or separate new work makes sense.
We investigate how your walls, roof and foundation manage water and drying. You see the complete assembly before insulation or air control is added.
We record and shield retained fabric before demolition. Your older house near Westmount gets explicit repair and protection boundaries.
We do not promise a generic duration. We confirm submission needs and show municipal review separately from construction.
Send the address, records, photos, known permits and intended changes. We identify the first status, fabric or approval question.
