Two Sides of Westboro Tiling
Character-Home Renovation
We renovate bathrooms and kitchens in Westboro's older character homes, correcting aged waterproofing along the way.
Condo and Infill Installs
We also install tile in Westboro's newer condo and infill developments, where layouts and finishes trend more modern.
Proper Waterproofing Either Way
Membrane waterproofing and a correctly built shower pan go into every wet area, old home or new build.
A Genuinely Mixed Urban Village
Renovation and Modern Installs Side by Side
Westboro is a trendy, heavily-renovated urban village with a real mix of older character homes and newer condo and infill development, and our tile work reflects both sides of that. In a character home, we’re often correcting original waterproofing and updating a dated bathroom. In a Westboro condo or infill build, the work leans toward finishing a kitchen backsplash or ensuite tile in a more modern layout, often with larger-format tile.
Old Character and New Infill
Two Housing Types Side by Side
Westboro is one of Ottawa's most heavily renovated urban villages, known for a genuine mix of older character homes and newer condo and infill development standing side by side.
Treated as Two Project Types
That mix means our tile work here isn't one type of project, it's two, and we treat them differently.
Character-Home Renovation
Full Bathroom or Kitchen Renovation
In Westboro's older character homes, our work is typically a full bathroom or kitchen renovation: removing original tile, addressing any water damage or aged waterproofing behind it, and rebuilding with cementitious backer board and proper membrane waterproofing before the new tile goes in.
Modern Condo and Infill Tiling
Finishing Modern Kitchens and Ensuites
In Westboro's newer condos and infill builds, the work is more often finishing tile in a modern kitchen or ensuite, larger-format porcelain, clean grout lines, and layouts that suit the more open, contemporary floor plans typical of these newer units.
Written Quote Either Way
Whichever type of Westboro property you have, every project starts with a clear, written quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on both older character homes and newer condos in Westboro?
Yes. Westboro has a genuine mix of both, and we regularly do character-home bathroom renovations as well as tile installation in newer condo and infill builds.
My Westboro character home has original tile – what's involved in updating it?
We typically remove the existing tile, check for water damage or aged waterproofing, and rebuild the wet area with proper membrane waterproofing before installing new tile.
Can you install large-format tile in a Westboro condo kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, large-format tile suits the more modern, open layouts common in Westboro's newer condo and infill units, and we install it regularly there.
Do I need a City of Ottawa permit for a Westboro condo bathroom retile?
Cosmetic, like-for-like retiling doesn't require a permit as long as plumbing, electrical, and walls aren't moved – this applies to both condos and character homes. Layout changes may require condo board approval as well as a permit.
