Three Ottawa projects we're proud of.

Three recent Ottawa projects, and how we handled each client's situation.

Altavista Ottawa basement renovation before after Dream Touch Basement Renovation

Altavista Basement · 2024

An Alta Vista family had lived with an unfinished basement for fifteen years. They wanted a legal secondary suite for an aging parent, plus a family rec room. We worked within the existing foundation, added a proper egress window, built a compliant kitchenette and three-piece bathroom, and finished the rec room with sound-dampening between floors. 14 weeks from demolition to move-in.

Ottawa home addition with black metal-roof dormer, cedar porch and red door by Dream Touch Renovations Home Addition

Westboro Addition · 2023

A growing Westboro family needed more space but loved their heritage bungalow's character. We designed a rear addition that added a main-floor family room and expanded primary suite above, matching the original red brick, roofline, and window proportions. We coordinated the structural engineering. First sketch to final inspection took 11 months.

Orléans accessible primary bathroom with zero-threshold shower, grab bars and roll-under vanity by Dream Touch Renovations Accessibility

Orleans Accessible Primary Bathroom · 2024

The homeowner's husband had returned home after a stroke. The family had lived in Orleans for fifteen years and wanted to stay. We built a barrier-free primary bathroom with zero-threshold walk-in shower, 660-lb rated grab bars, roll-under vanity, and fold-down bench. Guests often don't notice the accessibility features, which is the point of universal design.

Common Questions

Portfolio questions, answered.

What visitors most often ask about our Ottawa renovation portfolio, photo archive, and reference process.

Call 613-862-4555
In many cases, yes. Some clients are happy to show their completed renovations to prospective Dream Touch clients. We coordinate these visits for serious prospects in the final stages of contractor selection. Call us at 613-862-4555 about your project and we'll suggest relevant reference visits.
Yes. Every photo in our portfolio is a real Ottawa project we've completed. We don't use stock photography or generic renovation images.
Yes. Our full project archive includes hundreds of photos across every category. At your initial consultation we can show you more photos of projects like yours, with similar styles, neighbourhoods, and budgets.
Many clients ask us not to publish photos of their homes, a request we always honor. We also keep the portfolio to representative work in each category instead of hundreds of similar projects. We can show you more projects during your consultation.
We have in-house crews for most trades, supplemented by long-term subcontractor relationships for specialized work (structural engineering, medical gas, specialty refrigeration, elevator installation). Every subcontractor we use has been vetted over years of working together. Our project managers coordinate all trades and are on-site daily.
Yes, with client permission. We keep a list of recent clients in every category who have agreed to take occasional reference calls from prospects. Where possible we match references to your project type and neighbourhood, and we share them at your initial consultation.
Featured case studies are from 2023–2024. Portfolio images run from 2020 to the present and are mostly recent work, plus some older significant projects marked with their completion year.
Call us at 613-862-4555 or use the contact form. Tell us what you're planning and what you'd like to see (similar projects, neighbourhoods or budgets), and we'll pull relevant examples from our full archive for your consultation.
