West Grey Basement Renovation – JCB & Sons | Home Improvement Contractor
We’ve been back at our own place, working hard to complete a full basement and office renovation in Durham, Ontario. This home improvement project included a brand-new HRV system, upgraded ductwork, and full framing and bulkhead installation — now moving into the drywall phase.
You can see the main runs of duct work from our brand new
that feed fresh air to our home and remove the stale air, creating a very healthy environment for our family. We framed a bulk head around them to hide the ducting. We absolutely love our new spray foam insulation in the basement, it has been amazingly warm in our house during these freezing temperatures the last few weeks.
This is the utility room with updated plumbing, and a new
that we installed for emergency use.
Here you can see where we installed our new
in the basement bedroom closet. It will be easily accessible to clean the HRV filters every 3 month here and, to do yearly maintenance. It also was an ideal location to run the ducts and it was on an exterior wall so that we can access nice fresh air, and exhaust the stale air.
We now have our sewage pump all hooked up which will handle pumping the waste water from our basement bathroom when it's completed.
Bathroom Renovation by JCB & SONS - Licensed Carpenter serving Owen Sound
In this Owen Sound bathroom renovation, we helped longtime friends of ours upgrade their space with new moisture-resistant drywall, precision taping, and a clean, polished finish. As licensed carpenters offering full-service general contracting in the Grey Bruce region, we focus on practical upgrades that stand the test of time, even in small spaces like this one.
We have the bathroom all painted now, and all the fixtures back in. We just need to hook up the sink, install the door and trim it out.
Owen Sound Bathroom Renovation and Repair – JCB & Sons
We recently helped friends renovate their bathroom in a late 1970s Owen Sound home. The space had been poorly modified by the previous owner, and we were brought in as licensed carpenters and general contractors to address everything from a rotten subfloor to a rocking toilet and damaged flange.
The toilet was too close to the wall and awkward to use. We moved the main drain stack showing in this photo over 4" so that we could install the toilet at a normal distance to the adjacent wall.
Here you can see the new 5/8" plywood subfloor we installed with solid blocking to strengthen the floor for the new toilet flange we installed.
We reinsulated most of the bathroom with new Roxul insulation. We also installed new
with new vapour boxes for the electrical outlets. We also installed a bathroom exhaust fan, as the home doesn't have an
