RENOVATIONS AND CUSTOM INTERIORS

NESS plans major renovations and custom interiors for Newmarket homes, improving kitchen function, basement use, main-floor layouts, storage, flow and everyday comfort while respecting the character of established homes and neighbourhoods.

HOME RENOVATION AND INTERIOR DESIGN
Whether you are updating a long-loved family home, reworking the main floor, renovating a basement or planning a larger transformation, we guide your project from early planning through construction-ready design.

From kitchen and basement renovations to full-home transformations and additions, NESS combines interior design, space planning, custom cabinetry, lighting, finishes and technical documentation to create homes that work better for changing family needs.

Our planning-led approach helps resolve layout, structural considerations and permit requirements early so the renovation is clearly defined before construction begins.

RENOVATE IN NEWMARKET

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before beginning a major renovation or addition in Newmarket, it is important to consider how the age and condition of the home, zoning, property conditions, and Town of Newmarket approval requirements may influence the project scope and design.

Many Newmarket homes are located in established neighbourhoods where layout changes, structural work, additions, and long-term improvements benefit from early feasibility and design planning.

We work with you to clarify priorities, assess feasibility, and create a practical roadmap that aligns your renovation goals with the anticipated investment and applicable Town of Newmarket requirements.

THE DESIGN APPROACH

Renovation and New Build Investment in Newmarket

When planning a renovation, addition, or interior transformation in Newmarket, several factors influence the overall investment, including:
  • Design complexity
  • Age and condition of the home
  • Interior finishes and detailing
  • Structural or layout changes
  • Basement scope and upgrades

Typical renovation projects in Newmarket range from $275 to $450 per square foot, depending on the project scope and level of transformation. These figures are broad averages; we provide a customized outline once we understand your goals, preferred features, and overall project scope.

PERMIT DRAWINGS

Permit Drawings and Newmarket
Building Requirements

As BCIN-certified designers, NESS prepares permit drawings for applicable Newmarket renovations and additions, supporting Town of Newmarket building permit applications and zoning reviews.

The Town requires building permits for additions, structural alterations, finishing basements and other regulated work, and recommends reviewing zoning and applicable-law requirements early in the process.

Structural engineering and other required consultant documentation can also be coordinated where necessary. Clear, detailed drawings support the approval process and provide contractors with accurate information for construction.

WHY WORK WITH US

Why Work With NESS for Your Newmarket Renovation

Clients in Newmarket come to NESS for thoughtful, welcoming homes with improved flow, function, and everyday comfort.

A Newmarket home may still have the right location, character and overall size while no longer supporting the way your family lives. Kitchen function, basement potential, storage, flow, structural changes and future flexibility can all influence whether the best solution is a targeted renovation, a full-home transformation or an addition.

NESS brings these decisions together early so the existing home and proposed changes are considered as one coordinated project. This helps establish a clear scope before construction pricing and reduces the need to resolve major design decisions once work is underway.

The result is a home that feels more functional, comfortable and better prepared for the years ahead.

TO REALITY
Testimonials

Our Downtown Circa 1980 Condo, Although Renovated By A Previous Owner, Was Dated, Poorly Lit, And Had A Layout That Never Quite Worked.

Adding to the challenge, we don’t live full-time in Toronto and had no trusted contractors or trades connections. Also, working in a condo building can be complicated. We knew we needed both a design firm and a project manager—and we were lucky to be referred to NESS.

Natalya stepped in and created a design that resolved our layout issue, came up with a super innovative mini-drop ceiling to swathe our space with light, and beautifully tied all the rooms together. Throughout the process, she and her contractors truly listened—to our likes, dislikes, and pain points—and consistently surprised us with thoughtful solutions and clever details.

Some of our asks were challenging, including interior glass divider walls and beautification of perimeter heat runs, yet every one was handled seamlessly and successfully. Value engineering suggestions were offered proactively, always improving both function and design.

We will admit that NESS’s budget system felt intimidating at first—but in the end, it delivered exactly what it promised. Not a single “gotcha,” no surprise costs, and complete transparency throughout. We could not be happier with the design, the construction or the final budget.

A Full Condo Renovation Ss An Angst Filled, Frightening Proposition—Until You Work With NESS And Natalya Ness.

She made our dream condo home a reality with a confident, transparent process that kept everyone calm and informed from start to finish.

We Asked Natalya To Provide Design Services To Us For Creating A Legal Secondary Suite In Our Basement

She was very attentive to our needs from the beginning and very patient with us. She answered every question we had and went out of her way to get us the information we requested to help us understand our options. She was always professional, even when things didn’t go as planned. We would highly recommend her and we would use her services again.

We Recently Had The Pleasure Of Renovating Our Ground Floor With The Help Of Natalya And Her Team

We wanted to create an open space by removing walls and installing a new kitchen. The result was absolutely stunning! Natalya did an incredible job of seamlessly merging the old and new areas together, creating a cohesive and stylish design. I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail in every aspect of the design – all selected new finishes blended in with existing ones, which we didn’t want to change. I am thrilled with the outcome of my ground floor renovation. It has completely transformed the space, and I couldn’t be happier with the work done.

Fedorina
