From village Main Street to new subdivisions
Stittsville has two distinct sides to renovate: a historic village core along Main Street with older homes on generous lots, and a fast-growing ring of newer subdivisions. Which one your home sits in changes what makes sense to build.
Housing stock by era
The subdivisions — Fairwinds, Jackson Trails, Wyldewood and Bryanston Gate — are largely 2000s-and-newer builder homes with tall basements and open main floors, so finishing basements and personalizing plain builder space is the most common work there. Along and near Main Street, older homes on larger lots suit additions, sunrooms and detached coach homes that would be hard to fit on a tighter suburban lot.
Larger lots, bigger possibilities
The larger lots in and around the older village are one of Stittsville’s real advantages. Where a home has the setback and yard for it, we can plan rear and side additions, three-season sunrooms and detached coach homes — the kind of footprint-expanding projects that give a growing family more room without leaving the neighbourhood they like. Each of those requires structural design and a permit, which we manage end to end.
Servicing and permits
Newer Stittsville subdivisions are on full municipal water and sewer, while some older and edge-of-village properties can be on private well and septic — something we confirm before planning bathrooms, basement baths or a coach-home kitchen. Stittsville joined the City of Ottawa at amalgamation in 2001, so permits go through the City’s MyServiceOttawa process, which we handle as part of the project.

Stittsville renovation questions
Do you build additions and coach homes in Stittsville?
Yes. The larger lots around Stittsville’s older Main Street village suit rear and side additions, sunrooms and detached coach homes. We handle the structural design and City of Ottawa permit for each.
Do you finish basements in newer Stittsville subdivisions?
Yes — in Fairwinds, Jackson Trails and Wyldewood, finishing the builder’s unfinished basement is one of our most common projects. We design to Ontario Building Code egress-window and ceiling-height rules so the added space is legal living area.
Are Stittsville homes on municipal services or well and septic?
Newer subdivisions are on full municipal water and sewer, while some older and edge-of-village properties are on private well and septic. We confirm your home’s servicing before finalizing any plumbing-heavy scope.
