Full-Service Home Renovations in the Niagara Region
Your home should reflect the life you want to live. FranklinBuilt offers comprehensive home renovation services throughout the Niagara Region — helping homeowners transform dated, inefficient, or underutilized spaces into beautiful, functional homes they’re proud of.
From single-room refreshes to whole-home transformations, our team brings the same level of craftsmanship, planning, and communication to every project. We coordinate design, permitting, material selection, and construction — so your renovation experience is smooth, transparent, and stress-free from the very first consultation.
Designed for How You Live, Built for How Long You'll Stay
Every home renovation we take on starts with a genuine understanding of how you use your space — your routines, your family, your goals. That context shapes every design decision, from traffic flow and storage to natural light and material selection.
We build with durability and liveability in mind. The finishes we specify, the systems we install, and the details we sweat are all chosen to perform beautifully over the long term — not just to photograph well on completion day.
Whether you’re renovating to sell, to stay, or simply to finally enjoy your home the way it deserves to be enjoyed, our team brings the same commitment to craft and communication to every project.
From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, you’ll always know where your project stands — and why every decision was made.

The Canada Greener Homes Grant offers up to $5,600 in grants and $40,000 in interest-free loans for energy efficiency upgrades. FranklinBuilt can identify which components of your renovation qualify.

Incredible work by Franco and team to completely gut and restore our lakefront retreat both inside and outside. Great design, work, attention to detail made this beautiful home for our family. Franco’s team did it all from complete kitchen and bathroom renovations to adding all the beautiful and subtle touches throughout. The outside deck and stonework is amazing, really bringing the beach front experience to another level. Highest marks for professionalism, commitment, quality of craftsmanship and just all that brilliant practical advice as we transformed the existing home. Special shout out to Jessica at Pinnicle Designs who Franco brought on the team. Wonderful people to work with and trust with your most precious home. Thank you
Home Renovations FAQ: Niagara Region
At FranklinBuilt, we believe your home should evolve with the life you’re building inside it. Whether you are refreshing an older property in Crystal Beach, undertaking a full multi-room transformation in St. Catharines, or adding a carefully designed addition in Niagara Falls, our team brings local expertise and genuine craftsmanship to every project. We understand the architecture, building standards, and municipal requirements unique to the Niagara Region — and we manage every detail so your renovation is as smooth and stress-free as the finished result is beautiful.
We’ve compiled these FAQs to help you navigate your building journey with confidence.
How do I know if I need a permit for my home renovation?
Most structural changes, additions, and mechanical upgrades require permits under Ontario Building Code. FranklinBuilt assesses permit requirements as part of every project's planning phase and manages all applications on your behalf.
Can FranklinBuilt handle both design and construction?
Yes. We offer a design-build service that covers concept, material selection, technical drawings, permits, and construction — all managed by one team with one consistent vision throughout.
How do you manage renovations while I'm living in my home?
We plan carefully to minimize disruption. Work areas are isolated where possible, schedules are communicated in advance, and our team maintains clean, respectful job sites throughout the project.
What is the typical timeline for a home renovation in Niagara?
Timelines depend entirely on scope. A single room may take 2–4 weeks; a major multi-room renovation can span several months. We provide a detailed project schedule before any work begins.
What happens if unexpected issues are discovered during renovation?
Older homes in the Niagara Region sometimes reveal hidden conditions — outdated wiring, plumbing issues, or structural concerns — once walls are opened. FranklinBuilt documents and communicates any discoveries immediately, presents your options clearly, and proceeds only with your approval. We never proceed with unplanned work without full transparency on cost and scope.
Is renovation work covered under any warranty?
Yes. FranklinBuilt provides a workmanship warranty on all renovation work, and manufacturer warranties apply to materials and fixtures where applicable. For projects that include new structural additions, Tarion warranty coverage may also apply. We clarify warranty terms for every project during the proposal stage so you know exactly what protection you have before work begins.
