Bathroom & kitchen renovation and design-build in Kanata
Dream Touch plans and builds bathroom and kitchen renovations across Kanata as a design-build renovation contractor. Most homes in Beaverbrook and Glen Cairn date from the 1970s and early 80s. The job there is usually a closed-off layout and original mechanicals due for updating.
In Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood and Morgan's Grove, it is more often a new bathroom in a tall basement. Out toward Carp and South March, where some houses run on a private well and septic, we confirm the servicing before we plan any added fixtures.

A master-planned suburb, renovated for how people live now
Kanata was one of Canada’s first master-planned communities, and it grew in clear waves. The decade your street was built in affects ceiling heights and how a basement can be finished.
Housing stock by era
Beaverbrook and Glen Cairn date largely to the 1970s and early 80s, so those homes often have compact, closed-off floor plans and original mechanicals that are due for updating. Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood and Morgan's Grove filled in through the 1990s and 2000s with larger two-storey homes, typically with taller basements that finish well into legal living space. We plan around which wave your home belongs to.
Municipal services and the rural fringe
Most of suburban Kanata is on full municipal water and sewer, which keeps plumbing-heavy projects like kitchens, bathrooms and basement baths straightforward. Toward the western and northern fringe near Carp, South March and Marchwood, some properties run on private well and septic. That changes how we plan fixture counts and drainage, so we confirm a home’s servicing before finalizing any scope that adds bathrooms or a basement kitchenette.
Permits and common Kanata projects
Kanata has been part of the City of Ottawa since amalgamation in 2001, so building permits go through the City’s MyServiceOttawa process, which we manage for every project that needs one. With the Kanata North tech park nearby, home offices and finished basements are two of our most common requests, along with kitchen updates and rear additions on the larger Kanata Lakes and Bridlewood lots.
A Kanata job runs on the same permit file and inspection schedule as every other project we build as a renovation contractor in Ottawa, with the well-and-septic check added near Carp and South March.
Finishing the taller basements of Kanata Lakes and Bridlewood
Dream Touch has spent two decades on Ottawa basement renovation: rec rooms, home theatres, in-law suites and legal income apartments. We pull the permit, book the inspections, engineer the egress windows and dampen sound between floors.
Adding to the back of a Kanata Lakes or Bridlewood home
We design, permit and build every type of home addition: second-storey additions, rear extensions, bump-outs, garage conversions and in-law suites. The contract is fixed-price, with a written timeline.
Kanata sunrooms, screened or heated
Three-season screened porches and heated four-season rooms: our custom sunrooms are built for Ottawa’s climate. Each starts with a free site assessment and a fixed written proposal.
Building a coach house in Kanata
A Dream Touch coach house is turnkey: one team handles design, permits and construction, and builds the unit to code, ready to rent.
Opening up a whole Beaverbrook or Glen Cairn house
For a whole-home renovation or a multi-room package, one Ottawa team handles the kitchens, bathrooms, basements, flooring, painting and exterior work. You get a fixed-price contract and a free in-home consultation.

Kanata renovation questions
Do you renovate homes in Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood and Beaverbrook?
Yes. We work across all of Kanata's communities, from the 1970s–80s homes in Beaverbrook and Glen Cairn to the newer builds in Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood and Morgan's Grove. We plan each renovation around how your home was originally built.
Can you finish a basement in a newer Kanata home?
Yes. Basement finishing is one of our most common Kanata projects. Many 1990s–2000s Kanata homes have taller basements that finish cleanly into a legal bedroom, bathroom or rec room, and we design to Ontario Building Code egress-window and ceiling-height requirements.
Do you handle rural Kanata properties on well and septic?
Yes. Toward Carp and South March, some properties are on private well and septic rather than municipal services. We confirm your servicing up front and plan any plumbing-heavy scope, such as extra bathrooms or a basement kitchenette, around it.
