his issue showcases the winners in this year’s RenoMark Renovation of the Year Awards. Categories include bathrooms, kitchens, exteriors, outdoor structures, additions, basements and whole home renovations. These homes were transformed by professional renovators who pride themselves on working by the elevated standards and practices as outlined by the RenoMark program. This award program is a significant initiative for several reasons. First of all, it is truly inspiring to see the dramatic makeovers these homes have experienced. This in turn motivates us to imagine how our own homes can be modified. Further, this award program demonstrates the kind of talent and experience we have right here in our great city. We are not second rate. In fact, these renovators are operating at the highest professional standards in Canada. Several of the award categories revolve around the development of new living space. This addresses one of the most common complaints people have about their homes, which is lack of space. As the number of our possessions increases, available space decreases. Many of us are now finding ourselves working at home and require an adequate place to set up an office. Perhaps our family is growing and subsequently outgrowing our home. For some, the solution is to move to a larger home. This however, can be very costly and disruptive. Alternatively, a large number of homeowners decide to stay and build an addition and/or develop their basement. If you love your home and neighborhood, this could be the solution for you. Just be sure to work with professionals who will ensure that your renovation is a success.
