Questions
Before you begin
Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.
What is included in this service?
Work can include Selective Demolition, Interior Demolition, Floor Removal, Ceiling Removal, Wall Removal, and Debris Removal. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.
How long does the work usually take?
A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 2–4 weeks. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.
Which flooring works best for an Ottawa garage?
The choice depends on slab condition, moisture, road salt, vehicle use, slip resistance, and maintenance expectations. Cracks and surface preparation must be addressed before a coating or finish is selected.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, project-based, per-square-foot, and per-linear-foot rates, as applicable to the measured scope. Design-dependent or concealed work may require a custom quotation. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.
Can the garage be insulated and heated?
Often, yes, when the wall and ceiling assemblies, door performance, ventilation, electrical capacity, and permitted use support it. Heating and insulation choices are reviewed as a system rather than isolated upgrades.
Can storage be planned around vehicles and seasonal equipment?
Yes. Vehicle clearances, door tracks, electrical panels, mechanical equipment, waste bins, and frequently used items are measured before shelving or cabinetry locations are confirmed.
