Toronto Westend
Full Custom Home
Challenges & Objectives
This West End home renovation focused on revitalizing an outdated house by enhancing its interior spaces from the inside out. While no major changes were made to the home’s size, Woodsmith Construction delivered a full transformation by focusing on making each room unique and tailored to the clients’ needs. The result is a beautifully updated home that feels fresh, modern, and perfectly suited to the family’s lifestyle.
This project required careful planning to deliver a comprehensive interior renovation while retaining the home’s original footprint:
- Modernization: Update the entire interior to reflect modern design and functionality while preserving the home’s charm.
- Room-by-Room Customization: Focus on making each room special, creating spaces that were both beautiful and highly functional.
- Cohesive Design: Ensure the renovated rooms tied together seamlessly to create a harmonious flow throughout the home.
Our objective was to breathe new life into the home by enhancing its interiors without altering its size.
Design Solutions
To achieve the clients’ vision, our team implemented thoughtful, detail-oriented design solutions:
Custom Room Designs:
- Transformed each room with unique design elements tailored to its purpose, such as built-in features, bespoke cabinetry, and premium finishes.
- Created distinct yet cohesive styles that made every space feel special and intentional.
Modern Upgrades:
- Updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems for improved performance and safety.
- Incorporated energy-efficient materials and fixtures to enhance comfort and reduce utility costs.
Aesthetic Cohesion:

- Focused on timeless design elements to ensure the home’s appeal would last for years to come.

- Addressed any structural or hidden issues uncovered during the process.
Room-by-Room Renovation:

- Installed high-quality finishes and fixtures, ensuring durability and style in every space.
Finishing Touches:

By focusing on room-by-room customization, Woodsmith Construction created spaces that are not only functional but also special and reflective of the clients’ vision. The clients were thrilled with the transformation, expressing their love for the home’s fresh and cohesive design.
Our Clients' Experiences Say It All
At Woodsmith Construction, we believe our clients’ experiences highlight our commitment to exceptional customer service. Explore what real homeowners say about partnering with us to achieve their home renovation goals.
The Woodsmith team did a phenomenal job of rebuilding our house to match our dream on-time and within our budget. Chris (the owner) was always accessible, open to ideas and patient with questions. This made all the difference for us. He understands that a job of this scale is something that an owner will likely only do once, and he offered great advice and put all our fears at ease. We constantly knew exactly how we were tracking to our budget (to the dollar) and our job site was clean and orderly at all times (which our neighbours very much appreciated). We were nervous about our year-long adventure in renos (we've all heard horror stories), but Chris helped us spread out decisions over time and provided clear options for any challenges his team encountered, making that year a surprisingly pleasant one. All of the work was top-quality and has garnered unsolicited positive comments from anyone who sees our home (including other contractors working in our neighbourhood). I have no problem recommending Woodsmith; you will be in very good hands.

We worked with Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction Inc. on the design for a garage addition, and the experience was fantastic. The project included adding attic trusses to create a new walk-in closet and laundry room that seamlessly connected to our existing main bedroom. Chris’s goal was to make the addition feel like it had always been part of the home, and he absolutely nailed it.From the start, Chris took the time to understand what we needed and came up with a design that not only maximized the functionality of the space but also kept the style consistent with the rest of the house. He paid close attention to every detail, from the layout to the finishes, ensuring everything worked perfectly with our main bedroom.The design makes such smart use of the space, and it feels like a natural extension of the home rather than an afterthought. Chris was great to work with—responsive, creative, and incredibly knowledgeable. He even provided advice on how to approach the construction phase, which made us feel confident moving forward.If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life with a thoughtful and practical design, we highly recommend Chris Smith and Woodsmith Construction. The design he created for us has truly enhanced our home. Our construction is well under way and we are already seeing the great design come to life!

Woodsmith Construction Inc. recently completed a full-home renovation on our place, including underpinning and adding a third floor. We couldn't be happier with the results and the level of service that we received from Chris and his entire team. Chris is an absolute professional who is extremely knowledgable, dedicated to his craft and was exceptionally responsive at all points in the project to all of our questions and concerns. For us, this timely communication provided a level of comfort and assurance - I cannot imagine doing a project of this scale without it! During the project, the worksite was kept so clean - our neighbours consistently commented on how great and respectful the team was. We were able to complete a huge project with very little tension and to me, that speaks volumes about the manner in which the project was carried out. In terms of the results, we are thrilled. The workmanship, detail and solid construction of our home are all that we hoped for. This workmanship and level of service continued through the final stages of the project, when we were completing the finishing touches. Chris ensured that every small detail was arranged for and completed. Obviously, we highly recommend Woodsmith Construction and are grateful to Chris and his team for the amazing work, professionalism and service they provided.
