Key Takeaways

  • Source: Verified Bark.com Review

  • Key Highlights: Exceptional communication from Jay, efficient and respectful crew, and a seamless blend of modern upgrades for a century-old home.


Renovating a historic property takes a delicate balance. You want to preserve the character that makes older homes unique while introducing the modern comfort, clean layouts, and high-end finishes that modern living demands.


That was the exact challenge taken on during a recent comprehensive project completed by Cedarwood Development Group Inc. Homeowner Amina Mitchell wanted to breathe new life into her 100-year-old home, looking for a reliable contractor who could handle everything from major interior transformations to exterior curb appeal.

The result was a total reimagining of the space, covering a complete kitchen and bathroom overhaul, main-floor remodeling, and a beautiful new driveway interlocking installation.

As Amina highlighted in her verified Bark.com review:

“We recently hired Jay and his team for a full home renovation, and the results were incredible. They completely transformed our kitchen, bathroom, and main floor. We also had them install interlocking stone on our driveway, which turned out beautifully. From the beginning, Jay was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with... They gave our 100-year-old home a stunning modern update, and we couldn’t be happier.”  

Modernizing a Century-Old Home Without Losing Its Soul

Older properties in the Greater Toronto Area often come with unique structural quirks, outdated layouts, and worn finishes. Tackling a historic home requires deep knowledge of framing, modern building codes, and material integration.

When updating a century-old home, a professional contracting team looks at several crucial elements:


  • Layout Flow: Opening up segmented layouts to create bright, cohesive main floors while respecting structural load-bearing walls.

  • Functional Kitchens: Replacing cramped cooking spaces with modern, highly efficient kitchen layouts featuring custom cabinetry, upgraded lighting, and durable prep surfaces.

  • Exterior Harmony: Tying the interior updates together with clean exterior flatwork—such as custom driveway interlocking—to maximize curb appeal from the moment you pull up.

  • Transparent Project Management: Keeping homeowners informed at every stage of construction to eliminate stress and ensure absolute alignment on the vision.


Comprehensive Home Upgrades Tailored to Your Lifestyle


Whether you are looking to modernize a historic house or elevate a contemporary property, having a reliable team that can handle multiple trades under one roof makes all the difference. From full home and kitchen renovations to bathroom remodeling, custom interlocking, driveway sealing, epoxy flooring, home extensions, and general handyman services, comprehensive craftsmanship ensures every corner of your property feels unified and built to last.
