Most Ottawa homes don’t need five different contractors. They need one good one.

Alba Home Services is a general contractor based right here in Ottawa (2168 March Rd). For nearly a decade, homeowners across the city have called us for the home renovations Ottawa families plan for years and can’t afford to get wrong: the kitchen that’s finally getting done properly, the basement that needs to become real living space, the roof and siding that protect everything underneath.

When you hire Alba, you get one contract, one schedule, and one team that answers for the whole job — design guidance, permits, trades, cleanup, and the final walkthrough. No chasing subcontractors. No “that’s not my department.” Just a renovation done right, by people who live here too.

THE PROCESS

How a Renovation Project Runs

1

Free estimate & consultation

We visit your home, listen to what you want, measure, and flag anything that could affect cost or permits.

2

Design & detailed written quote

You get a clear scope of work with real numbers — no vague allowances that balloon later.

3

Permits & scheduling

We handle required City of Ottawa permits and book the trades in the right order.

4

The build

Our crew keeps the site tidy with daily cleanup, and you always know who’s in your home and what’s happening next.

5

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished work with you, fix anything that isn’t right, and stand behind the result.

COSTS

What Does a Renovation Cost in Ottawa?

Honest answer: it depends on the scope, the materials, and what we find when walls open up — anyone who quotes you a firm whole-home number without visiting is guessing with your money. What we can promise is a detailed written quote after a free in-home estimate, with the scope broken down line by line. For current ranges on specific projects, see our service pages: kitchen renovation costs, basement renovation costs, and siding costs reflect the same pricing we quote in person.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Alba Home Services carries $5M in liability insurance and full WSIB coverage, and we pull City of Ottawa permits whenever a project requires them.
Do you handle permits, or do I?+
We do. Permit applications, drawings coordination, and inspections are part of the project when you hire us — you shouldn’t have to spend your evenings at City Hall.
How much does an estimate cost?+
Estimates are free anywhere in our Ottawa service area. For properties outside it, there’s a $200 estimate fee that comes off your contract price if you sign with us.
How long will my renovation take?+
It depends on scope — a bathroom is weeks, a full kitchen is longer, a basement suite longer still. Your written quote includes a realistic schedule, and we tell you the moment anything threatens it.
Do you use subcontractors?+
Our core crew performs the work, and where a licensed trade is required (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), we bring in our established licensed partners — coordinated and warranted through Alba, so you’re never managing them yourself.
What if I only need one room done?+
That’s most of what we do. Single-room renovations — a kitchen, a bathroom, a basement — are our bread and butter across Ottawa.
How do I choose a renovation contractor in Ottawa?+
Look for three things: proper insurance and WSIB coverage (ask to see it), a detailed written quote instead of a verbal ballpark, and local reviews from homeowners in your part of the city. Any renovation contractor in Ottawa who won’t put all three on the table is telling you something — listen.
