Interior Redesign Services West Toronto Homeowners Choose
We turn dated, closed-off layouts into open, functional spaces that actually fit how your family lives today.
Your Layout Should Not Fight Your Lifestyle
A lot of West Toronto homes still have the room-by-room layouts they were built with decades ago, which rarely match how people live now. We redesign interiors to open things up and improve flow, without necessarily touching your home’s footprint. See recent transformations in our portfolio.
A Poor Layout Redesign Can Waste Your Whole Budget
What Usually Goes Wrong
- Load-bearing walls removed without engineering
- A layout that looks good but does not function well
- Electrical and mechanical work handled as an afterthought
- Budgets that balloon once walls come down
- Disconnected trades working without one plan
How We Approach It
- Structural review before any wall comes down
- Layouts designed around how you actually live
- Electrical and mechanical planned from day one
- A clear, fixed quote before construction starts
- One team coordinating every trade involved
Often the First Step Toward a Bigger Renovation
Interior redesign is sometimes a standalone project, and sometimes the starting point for something larger. Many clients who open up their main floor later add a basement underpinning or a home extension once they see how much more space they can create.

What Clients Say About Their New Layouts
EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Posted on Google Fiona DunbarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emmett was wonderful to work and I knew I could trust him with my project from our very first conversation. He managed our home renovation that included a custom kitchen where we had to take out a chimney and put in a structural beam. We added heated floors to our entryway and mudroom, installed new hardwood floors throughout, renovated two bathrooms and lowered the basement bathroom floor. The results were beyond my expectations and I would work with Emmett again in a heartbeat.Posted on Google Mike StrizicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emmett and his team helped my wife and I with the timely renovation of our third bedroom in time for the arrival of our first child. They also replaced three bedroom doors, installed a new bannister in our main stairwell, and painted. Throughout the project, I found Emmett and his team to be highly responsive and attuned to our needs, always going the extra mile to ensure that we were happy. We were able to move quickly and trust them to make decisions when we wished to step back, but were also encouraged to provide input and guidance every step of the way. This project was particularly challenging because we were living onsite during the renovation, and I felt that they made every effort to keep the space as tidy as possible for us. Ashford Homes uses a project management software called CoConstruct that makes communicating with their team easy and efficient. We always felt like we were a priority when communicating with Paul, our project manager, and were able to advise and provide input at various crucial stages of the project. The team was particularly receptive to the various minor tweaks that came up as we neared completion of the project, which is a big plus. My wife and I are very pleased with the result of our renovation. I highly recommend Emmett and his team to anyone.Posted on Google Karen GilchristTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emmett is fantastic. Professional and attentive. My home turned out beautifully.Posted on Google Brad MilburnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emmett worked with us on a 3 floor renovation of our older High Park home and we couldn't be happier. We had 2 structural walls removed, main floor kitchen completely demo'd and rebuilt, bedrooms modified on the 2nd floor and the entire 3rd floor gutted and rebuilt, including adding a 3 piece bathroom. His workflow made tracking progress easy, and he followed through with us whenever there was an issue that required a change in plans. His trades were reliable and professional, and the finishing touches have withstood years of abuse with no issues! I have a porch reno planned for this spring and will be meeting Emmett on Sunday to plan how we are going to get it done. Never considered calling anyone else.Posted on Google Tracie BickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Ashford homes to renovate a large three unit rental property. It was a century home, and they helped us bring it into the modern era while still keeping some of the beautiful features. They added 3 insuite laundries, 3 kitchen overhauls, 3 bathroom renovations. Additionally they did flooring, painting, new HVAC, asbestos abatement, in-ground plumbing and some electrical. The place looks great, and the tenants love it! Emmett and his crew were easy to work with; they always communicated issues pro-actively and gave options, and also use a software to track the schedule and the communications. Emmett has a solid sense of fairness and accountability, we appreciated his honest and transparent style. We will definitely work with them again in the future!Posted on Google Alexandra GillespieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Ashford Homes for over 13 years for several large and small renovations. They have always completed their work for me on time and on budget. Emmett and his crew are very responsive and a pleasurer to work with. They turned a house with offices and an awkward layout into a lovely single family home.
