Home Renovation in Fort William, Thunder Bay

Renovating in Fort William

Fort William is the southern half of Thunder Bay, once a separate city that merged with Port Arthur in 1970. Around the Victoria Avenue and Simpson Street corridors the housing is some of the oldest in the city, with early-1900s homes and mid-century bungalows farther out. Older houses often come with older systems, so the renovation questions here tend to start with what is inside the walls.

Common projects

• Kitchens and bathrooms in older homes with original layouts, where kitchen and bathroom upgrades often include wiring, plumbing and ventilation updates.
• Basement finishing in homes with older foundations, which should start with a moisture and structure check. See basement renovation.
• Decks and fences on established lots with mature trees and varied grades.

Wiring, plumbing and insulation standards have changed a lot since these homes were built. A good renovation quote in Fort William should say what is being replaced, what is being kept, and what will be checked once the walls are open.
