Welcome to Reno 613 — Ottawa's locally owned and operated home renovation company dedicated to transforming houses into dream homes. Whether you are planning a complete kitchen overhaul, a luxurious bathroom remodel, a finished basement for your growing family, or a full-home renovation that breathes new life into every corner of your property — Reno 613 delivers exceptional craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.

Reno 613 was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to provide Ottawa homeowners with renovation services that combine superior craftsmanship, honest communication, and fair pricing. We saw too many homeowners frustrated by unreliable contractors, hidden costs, and projects that dragged on far beyond their promised timelines.
Over the years, we have grown from a small team of passionate tradespeople into one of Ottawa's most respected renovation companies, earning the trust of hundreds of satisfied homeowners across the National Capital Region.
Our growth has been built entirely on word-of-mouth referrals, positive reviews, and the quality of our finished work — not on empty promises or aggressive sales tactics.
At Reno 613, our name says it all. The 613 area code is more than just a phone prefix — it represents the vibrant community of Ottawa and eastern Ontario that we call home. We are deeply rooted in this community, and every renovation we complete is a testament to our dedication to raising the standard of home improvement in the Ottawa region.
Based in the heart of Ottawa's National Capital Region, we understand the unique needs of homeowners across our city. From heritage homes in the Glebe and Sandy Hill to modern builds in Barrhaven, Kanata, and Riverside South, our experienced team of licensed contractors, skilled tradespeople, and dedicated project managers brings decades of combined expertise to every project we undertake.
Reno 613 is fully licensed and insured to operate in Ontario. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workplace safety coverage to protect both our team and your property. All of our electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work is performed by certified professionals who comply with the Ontario Building Code, the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requirements, and all applicable City of Ottawa bylaws and regulations.
We handle the entire building permit process on your behalf, from application through final inspection. Our familiarity with Ottawa's Building Code Services, the ePermit system, and local zoning bylaws means your project proceeds smoothly and remains fully compliant at every stage.
Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. Before any work begins, you receive a detailed, itemized estimate that covers materials, labour, timelines, and any potential contingencies. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no bait-and-switch tactics. We believe you deserve to know exactly what you are paying for and what to expect at every stage of your renovation.
Quality craftsmanship is non-negotiable for our team. Every project, whether it is a simple bathroom refresh or a complete home transformation, receives the same meticulous attention to detail. We use premium materials sourced from trusted Canadian suppliers, and our tradespeople hold the certifications and experience necessary to deliver results that stand the test of time.
Communication is the bridge between a good renovation experience and a great one. Your dedicated project manager keeps you informed with regular updates, responds to your questions promptly, and ensures that your vision is faithfully executed from concept through completion. We treat your home with the same care and respect we would give our own.

We source our cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures from reputable Canadian and international suppliers, ensuring that every material meets our rigorous quality standards. From soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer slides to energy-efficient appliances and water-saving faucets, we integrate the features that make modern kitchens truly exceptional.
Transform outdated bathrooms into spa-like sanctuaries. Our expertise covers complete gut-and-rebuild renovations, walk-in shower conversions, heated flooring, and accessible barrier-free designs.

Unlock hundreds of square feet of livable space. From full basement finishing and underpinning to home theatres, offices, and secondary dwelling units (SDUs) for rental income.
Reno 613's basement renovation services include full basement finishing from framing through final finishes, basement underpinning for increased ceiling height, moisture barrier installation and waterproofing solutions, egress window installation for safety and natural light, home theatre and entertainment room construction, basement kitchen and wet bar installations, home office and study design, secondary dwelling unit (SDU) construction for rental income, bathroom rough-in and full bathroom installation, soundproofing and insulation upgrades, and laundry room renovations and relocations.
With the City of Ottawa's growing support for secondary dwelling units (also known as in-law suites or basement apartments), a properly permitted basement renovation can generate significant rental income while helping address the region's housing needs. Reno 613 has extensive experience navigating the permitting requirements for secondary suites, including fire separation, separate entrances, parking provisions, and Ontario Building Code compliance for habitable spaces.
When your family outgrows your space, a home addition is the ideal solution. We design and build single-storey, multi-storey, sunroom, garage, and bump-out additions.
Our home addition services cover single-storey and multi-storey additions, sunroom and four-season room construction, garage additions and conversions, mudroom and entryway expansions, master suite additions, second-storey additions, and bump-out additions for kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms. Every addition project begins with a thorough assessment of your existing home's structure, foundation, and systems. We work with licensed engineers and architects to ensure that your addition is structurally sound, aesthetically cohesive, and fully compliant with City of Ottawa zoning bylaws, setback requirements, and lot coverage limits.
Reimagine your entire living space. Update every aspect simultaneously for design consistency, modern functionality, and maximum return on your investment.
Our whole-home renovation approach includes initial design consultation and space planning, structural modifications including wall removal and floor plan reconfiguration, electrical system upgrades to modern standards, plumbing system replacement and modernization, HVAC improvements for energy efficiency and comfort, window and door replacement, flooring throughout the home, interior and exterior painting, trim and millwork installation, and landscape integration where applicable.
Many of Ottawa's most desirable neighbourhoods — including the Glebe, Westboro, New Edinburgh, Rockcliffe Park, and Old Ottawa South — feature heritage homes that require specialized renovation expertise.

One of the most common complaints homeowners have about renovation contractors is unexpected costs that inflate the final bill far beyond the original estimate. At Reno 613, we eliminate this anxiety with our detailed, itemized estimates that break down every cost component.
Our pricing philosophy is straightforward: we provide fair, competitive quotes that accurately reflect the scope of work, and we communicate proactively about any changes that may arise during the project. If an unforeseen issue is discovered — such as hidden water damage or outdated wiring — we discuss the implications, present options, and obtain your approval before any additional work is performed.
Every Reno 613 project is assigned a dedicated project manager who serves as your single point of contact throughout the entire renovation. Your project manager coordinates all trades, manages the schedule, conducts regular quality inspections, and provides you with progress updates at every stage.
This structured approach ensures that your renovation stays on track, on budget, and aligned with your vision.
We have cultivated strong relationships with leading Canadian and international material suppliers, allowing us to offer our clients access to premium products at competitive prices.
Whether you are selecting quartz countertops, engineered hardwood flooring, energy-efficient windows, or custom cabinetry, we guide you through the options and help you make informed decisions that balance quality, aesthetics, and budget.
Navigating Ottawa's building permit process can be complex and time-consuming, especially for larger renovation projects. Reno 613 manages the entire permitting process on your behalf.
From preparing and submitting applications through the City of Ottawa's ePermit system to scheduling and coordinating all required inspections. We ensure that every aspect of your renovation complies with the Ontario Building Code, local zoning bylaws, ESA electrical requirements, and any heritage conservation regulations that may apply to your property.
We understand that living through a renovation can be stressful, and we take every measure to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our team maintains a clean, organized worksite, uses dust barriers and floor protection, and cleans up at the end of each workday.
We respect your home, your family, and your neighbours, and we conduct all work during reasonable hours in compliance with Ottawa's noise bylaws.
Reno 613 stands behind every project we complete with a comprehensive workmanship warranty. If any issue arises related to our work after your renovation is finished, we address it promptly and professionally.
Our commitment to your satisfaction does not end when the last coat of paint dries — we are here for you long after the project is complete.
As your experienced renovation partner, Reno 613 helps you understand and comply with all applicable regulations.
Under the Ontario Building Code Act, a building permit is required for most renovation projects involving structural changes, changes to the use of a space, or modifications to mechanical, plumbing, or electrical systems. This includes adding or removing walls, building additions, finishing basements into habitable space, installing or modifying plumbing and HVAC systems, creating secondary dwelling units, and more.
Some cosmetic and minor work does not require a permit — generally painting, replacing flooring without subfloor modifications, replacing cabinets and countertops without moving plumbing or walls, same-size fixture replacements, and minor landscaping. When in doubt, contact us or the City of Ottawa's Building Code Services for guidance.
Ottawa maintains a minimum permit fee of $110 for most residential projects. Permits are typically calculated at approximately 1.1% of the construction value plus an additional charge per square foot. A small price for safety, compliance, and resale value protection.
The City of Ottawa can issue stop-work orders, and fines for a first offence can reach up to $50,000. Unpermitted work creates complications when selling your home, and insurance companies may deny claims related to unpermitted work. Reno 613 always ensures proper permits are in place before any work begins.
Proudly serving homeowners throughout the City of Ottawa and the surrounding National Capital Region.
Our team regularly works in Centretown, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Old Ottawa East, Sandy Hill, Lowertown, the ByWard Market, New Edinburgh, Rockcliffe Park, Lindenlea, Manor Park, and the Golden Triangle. These established neighbourhoods feature a mix of heritage homes, character properties, and newer construction, each presenting unique renovation opportunities and challenges that our experienced team is well-equipped to handle.
We serve the thriving communities of Kanata, Kanata Lakes, Stittsville, Bells Corners, Westboro, Wellington Village, Hintonburg, Mechanicsville, Britannia, Bayshore, Crystal Beach, and Carp. West Ottawa's rapid growth and mix of newer subdivisions and established communities create strong demand for both renovation upgrades and custom finishing work. Kanata alone has a population exceeding 90,000, making it one of the largest suburban communities in the region.
Barrhaven, Riverside South, Findlay Creek, Manotick, Greely, and Hunt Club are key communities in our southern service area. Barrhaven has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades, and many homeowners in these communities are now looking to update and personalize homes that were built during the area's initial development phases. From basement finishing to kitchen modernization, south Ottawa homeowners consistently trust Reno 613 for their renovation needs.
Orleans, Cumberland, Blackburn Hamlet, Beacon Hill, Gloucester, Chapel Hill, Fallingbrook, and Navan round out our eastern service area. Orleans, with a population approaching 100,000 and a strong francophone community, is one of Ottawa's most vibrant suburbs. We proudly serve this diverse community and offer bilingual service to accommodate the needs of all our clients.
We also extend our services to nearby communities including Almonte, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth, Arnprior, Kemptville, and Rockland. These communities in the Ottawa Valley and eastern Ontario share many of the same renovation needs as their urban counterparts, and Reno 613 is committed to delivering the same high standard of service regardless of location.
The trust our clients place in us is the foundation of our business.
We hired Reno 613 to completely renovate our kitchen in our Kanata home, and the results exceeded every expectation. The team was professional, communicative, and incredibly detail-oriented. Our project manager kept us informed every step of the way, and the finished kitchen is absolutely stunning. We have already recommended Reno 613 to three of our neighbours.
After interviewing several Ottawa renovation companies, we chose Reno 613 for our basement finishing project. It was the best decision we made. They handled everything from permits to final inspection, and the quality of work is outstanding. Our basement is now a beautiful family room, home office, and bathroom that we use every single day. Worth every penny.
Reno 613 renovated both of our bathrooms in our 1920s home in Old Ottawa South. They understood the unique challenges of working with an older home and delivered gorgeous, modern bathrooms that blend perfectly with the character of the house. Their attention to waterproofing and ventilation gave us peace of mind that these bathrooms will last for decades.
As a senior planning to age in place, I needed my home to be more accessible. Reno 613 designed and installed a beautiful barrier-free bathroom, widened my doorways, and added better lighting throughout. The whole process was respectful, efficient, and remarkably stress-free. I feel safe and comfortable in my home, and it looks wonderful.
We undertook a complete whole-home renovation with Reno 613, including a new kitchen, three bathrooms, a finished basement, and new flooring throughout. The project was massive, but their project management was impeccable. Everything was completed on schedule and on budget. Our home feels brand new, and we could not be happier.
Reno 613 built a gorgeous two-storey addition onto our home in the Glebe. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the process was transparent and professional. They coordinated with the city, handled all permits, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Our new master suite is everything we dreamed of and more.
I was nervous about renovating because I had heard horror stories from friends. Reno 613 made the experience completely different. They showed up when they said they would, their pricing was transparent, and the communication was excellent throughout. My new deck and backyard space is the envy of the neighbourhood.
Answers to the most common questions Ottawa homeowners ask about renovations, costs, timelines, and our process.
Ottawa experiences extreme temperature swings — winter lows below -30°C and summer highs exceeding 35°C. Consider energy-efficient windows and doors, proper insulation, high-efficiency HVAC, durable exterior materials that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, and ventilation systems that manage humidity year-round.
Set aside 10-15% of your total renovation budget as a contingency fund for unexpected discoveries such as hidden water damage, outdated wiring, or structural issues that may only appear once work begins.
Focus investment on kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements — the spaces buyers value most. Curb appeal improvements like new siding, entry doors, and landscaping create strong first impressions that translate to higher offers.
If your home is in a heritage conservation district (the Glebe, New Edinburgh, Rockcliffe Park, Lowertown), additional approvals may be required for exterior modifications. Reno 613 has experience navigating heritage approval processes.

Expert advice from Reno 613 to help you plan smarter, budget better, and get the most from your renovation investment.
Ottawa experiences extreme temperature swings — winter lows below -30°C and summer highs exceeding 35°C. Consider energy-efficient windows and doors rated for Canadian climates, proper insulation in walls, attics, and basements, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, durable exterior materials that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, and interior ventilation systems that manage humidity year-round.
Set aside 10–15% of your total renovation budget as a contingency fund. This buffer accounts for unexpected discoveries such as hidden water damage, outdated wiring, or structural issues that may only become apparent once work begins. While Reno 613 does everything possible to anticipate these scenarios, a contingency fund provides additional peace of mind.
If you are renovating with an eye toward future resale, focus your investment on the spaces buyers value most: kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements. Curb appeal improvements such as new siding, entry doors, and landscaping also create strong first impressions that translate to higher offers.
If your home is in one of Ottawa's heritage conservation districts — such as the Glebe, New Edinburgh, Rockcliffe Park, or Lowertown — additional approvals may be required for exterior modifications. Reno 613 has experience navigating heritage approval processes and can ensure your renovation respects both the regulations and the character of your home.
