A full home renovation in Ottawa means one contract, one schedule and one person to call. It is for Ottawa homeowners taking on a kitchen, a bathroom, a basement or a whole floor who would rather not coordinate five trades who each blame the last one. OmniJunk takes the whole job, the electrical, plumbing, gas and HVAC included, with licensed trades on that side and the permits pulled in our name. You get a fixed price in writing before anything starts, and the debris leaves on our own truck instead of sitting in your driveway for a month.
One accountable team from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, professionally managed. Project management is ours, along with the attention to detail and craftsmanship that separates quality work from work that is merely finished.
Kitchen design, bathrooms, basements and home additions. The same project manager runs all of it rather than separate designers handing work along.
We are the general contractor on the permit, so coordination of every trade is our problem. Serving Ottawa and the wider Ottawa area, our service area runs from Kanata across to Orleans.
Insulation, air sealing and heat pump-ready duct runs get specified at the design build stage, because retrofitting them later costs more.
Premium materials where they show and get touched, standard where they do not. We explain which is which before you sign.
Every renovator claims one. The measurable standard in this city is the RenoMark two-year minimum, and ours is written into the contract.
Demolition, protection of the route in and out, daily cleanup and haul-away are in every price. The figure on the written quote is the figure you pay.
Room, floor or whole house. One crew on site, one schedule, one number to call.
The work that sends most renovations out to three more companies. Our trades hold the tickets for it, so it stays on one contract and one schedule.

Text photos to (343) 314-7588A renovation goes wrong in the gaps between trades, where the electrician who cannot come until the framer finishes, the inspection nobody booked, the tiler waiting on a plumber who was never scheduled. We take the whole job, mechanical work included, so those gaps are ours to manage rather than yours to chase.
Zoning By-law 2026-50 was enacted in March 2026. Up to four dwelling units are permitted on every serviced residential lot in Ottawa, secondary suites are allowed as of right in effectively all residential zones, and there is no parking minimum. A basement apartment is now a zoning question you have already passed, and a building-permit question you have not.
Finishing a basement as living space needs a building permit, and a second dwelling unit certainly does. Permanent wiring needs its own notification to the Electrical Safety Authority, filed by the contractor doing that work. Which of those your job needs is rarely obvious from the kitchen table, so we work it out at the visit and the quote names each one, who is pulling it and what the fee is.
Advice copied from Toronto says otherwise. Houses here built after about 1960 usually have 7'6" or more under the joists, which clears the code minimum for habitable space comfortably. Underpinning belongs to older stock with genuinely short headroom, and benching the footing is often cheaper even then. We measure at the lowest duct and beam rather than in the middle of the room.
Getting hold of us and getting a price works the same way whatever the job is. What changes is the third part, which is the work itself. No deposit at any point, and you can stop after the price.
A rough idea and your address is plenty. No app and no account. Somebody who has run these jobs calls you back, not a call centre.
We walk the space with you, work out what the job needs and what it will need a permit for, then put one itemised price in writing. Free, and you can say no.
You get a start date, a sequence and a single number to ring. Permits and inspections sit in that sequence, not remembered halfway through, and the electrician, the plumber and the gas technician arrive on the days it needs them. Floors and doorways are protected before anything starts, the work area is sealed off, and the site is swept at the end of every day rather than at the end of the job.

Ottawa requires building permits for structural changes and major renovations. Local knowledge of permits and zoning is important for efficient renovations in Ottawa. Many renovations in Ottawa require compliance with local zoning bylaws. OmniJunk pulls the permit in our own name, and the process starts with a walk of the property because lot conditions settle the rest. It is not complete until the final inspection passes.
Seasonal factors affect construction timelines in Ottawa due to freeze-thaw cycles. Ottawa experiences freezing winters and humid summers that affect renovation planning. Renovation strategies should consider Ottawa's environmental conditions for energy efficiency. OmniJunk builds the sequence around it, so exterior work lands in the window that suits it and the interior carries the winter rather than the job stalling in February.
Proper moisture management is crucial when finishing basements in Ottawa homes. The walls sit below grade and the freeze-thaw cycle drives water at them all winter, so the grading, the weeping tile, any cracks and a vapour barrier get solved before a single stud goes up. Framing over a damp wall buys you mould in three years and a second renovation to pay for.
Construction debris removal is essential during home renovations. Many Ottawa contractors include debris removal in their services. Construction debris removal helps maintain a safe work environment. Proper debris removal complies with local building codes in Ottawa. Debris removal can include hazardous materials management. OmniJunk clears it on our own truck as the job produces it.
Proper disposal of hazardous materials is crucial for safety. Junk removal services include handling hazardous materials properly. Ottawa has specific recycling programs for hazardous materials. Anything the province licenses goes to the trade it licenses, which is where that expertise matters, and OmniJunk says which is which when we quote rather than on the day the wall opens.
OmniJunk offers year-round junk removal services in Ottawa. Same-day junk removal services are available in Ottawa. Same-day service is ideal during urgent renovations or moves. Many junk removal companies offer same-day service options. The OmniJunk crew is already on site, so a mid-build clear-out costs a phone call rather than a second booking with a second company on a third schedule.
Cleanouts help prepare homes for sale or renovations. Cleanouts can include removing unwanted items from properties. Professional cleanout services ensure efficient space clearing. Cleanouts are essential for managing clutter during renovations. Cleanouts can involve hazardous material handling. OmniJunk clears the rooms the trades need first, and the focus is the space they have to work in rather than the whole house at once. On an estate or a downsizing job the family sets the pace.
Furniture removal is essential during home renovations. Ottawa homeowners often require furniture removal services. Furniture removal can include large items like appliances. Furniture removal helps create space for renovations. Professional services handle furniture removal efficiently. Anything still usable is set aside for donation before the OmniJunk truck leaves, and our crew works room by room at the pace the job sets.
Yard waste removal is available year-round in Ottawa. Yard waste includes leaves, branches, and grass clippings. Proper yard waste disposal helps maintain a clean environment. Many services offer yard waste removal as part of renovations. It rides on the same OmniJunk run as the rest of the project.
Hot tubs can weigh over 1,000 pounds when filled with water. Professional hot tub removal includes safe disposal of hazardous materials. Hot tub removal can be part of larger home renovation projects. OmniJunk drains it before anything moves, cuts the shell into sections that fit through a gate, and sweeps the pad underneath clear. Deck repair around it is a separate quote.
Light demolition includes removing structures like decks and sheds. Light demolition services are available year-round in Ottawa. Light demolition can be part of home renovation projects. Light demolition helps homeowners clear unwanted structures efficiently. Most are a morning for OmniJunk rather than a weekend of your own.
Demolition services include site clearance for renovations. Mobile home demolition helps prepare sites for new construction. OmniJunk offers mobile home demolition services year-round. We sort the metals for recycling and sweeps the lot before leaving. Access decides most of the price, so a site clearance is quoted after a visit rather than over the phone.
Eco-friendly disposal reduces landfill waste by recycling materials. Ottawa homeowners can recycle construction debris responsibly. Using eco-friendly disposal methods supports local environmental initiatives. Recycling options are available for construction materials in Ottawa. Recycling can significantly lower renovation project costs. Many renovation companies promote eco-friendly disposal practices. OmniJunk emphasizes eco-friendly disposal and recycling of items. Sorting costs OmniJunk less than tipping, so we are committed to it as a business decision that happens to be the right one.
Ottawa homeowners can donate usable renovation items. Local charities accept furniture and appliances for donation. OmniJunk works with donation centres directly, so a kitchen worth reusing goes to one before the rest of the load is sorted. We discuss the concept and your vision at the first visit and show you past projects like yours, so the interior design is settled before the build rather than during it.
