Kitchen & basement renovation and design-build in Nepean
Kitchen and basement renovation in Nepean is home-base work for Dream Touch, whose office is at 33 Roydon Pl. As a design-build renovation contractor, we open up the 1950s to 1970s bungalows and split-levels of Bells Corners, Craig Henry and Trend-Arlington, often by taking out the wall between a small kitchen and the living room.
While the walls are open, we replace the original wiring and cast-iron drains. Downstairs, we finish the basement into a bedroom, a bathroom or a rec room.

Our home base — and where we know the housing stock best
Nepean is where our office sits, and we know its housing well. It's an established, mostly mid-century suburb, and renovating here is different from working on Ottawa's newer edges.
Housing stock by era
Established pockets like Bells Corners, Craig Henry, Arlington Woods and Trend-Arlington are dominated by 1950s–1970s bungalows and split-levels, often with solid bones but compact, compartmentalized layouts. Centrepointe and Parkwood Hills add later builds and infill. These older homes need careful structural planning. Opening a load-bearing wall between a small kitchen and living room is one of the most common ways we modernize a Nepean bungalow.
Servicing and older systems
Urban Nepean is on full municipal water and sewer, so plumbing scope is rarely the constraint. In older homes the issue is what’s behind the walls: original wiring, cast-iron drains and undersized electrical panels are common in mid-century stock. We plan for those upgrades as part of any down-to-the-studs kitchen or bathroom so the finished space is code-compliant.
Aging in place and permits
Many Nepean owners have been in their homes for decades, so accessibility and aging-in-place retrofits are a steady part of our work here: curbless showers, wider doorways, and main-floor bedrooms and baths. Nepean has been part of the City of Ottawa since amalgamation in 2001, so permits follow the City’s standard MyServiceOttawa process, which we handle end to end as part of the project.
That is the routine on every job we take as a renovation contractor in Ottawa, and from our office at 33 Roydon Pl, Nepean is the shortest trip.

Nepean renovation questions
Where is Dream Touch located in Nepean?
Our office is at 33 Roydon Pl Ste 210 in Ottawa, minutes from Nepean. Nepean is our home base, and we’ve been renovating homes across it since 2004.
Do you renovate older Nepean bungalows and split-levels?
Yes. Much of Nepean’s Bells Corners, Craig Henry and Trend-Arlington housing dates to the 1950s–70s. We plan for the load-bearing walls, older wiring and drains of mid-century homes so the finished renovation is fully up to code.
Can you do accessibility or aging-in-place renovations?
Yes. Curbless showers, wider doorways and main-floor bed-and-bath conversions are among our most common Nepean projects, and we design them so homeowners can stay safely in the homes they’ve had for years.
