This interior renovation in Ottawa’s Malakoff neighbourhood focused on upgrading comfort, durability, and design across the home’s second floor. The project included new hardwood flooring in the bedroom and hallway, a fully tiled bathroom, and a rebuilt staircase crafted from maple treads, risers, and handrails. Structural issues were corrected by reinforcing the stairs with birch and anchoring them into the studs, while a brand-new subfloor provided a solid, quiet foundation. The renovation also featured new interior doors, a full repaint, and a custom flush attic opening for a sleek, modern finish. The result is a bright, stable, and cohesive space that combines craftsmanship, practicality, and long-term value.
