Modern Home Remodeling in Oakville
A modern home remodel in Oakville
This Oakville modern home remodeling project replaced outdated parquet flooring and dated trim with a coordinated package of contemporary finishes — Scandinavian-style engineered hardwood, refinished staircase, wider baseboards and matching casings, new interior doors, and accent wainscoting. The owners wanted a single coordinated update across the main floor rather than a series of separate small projects, so the renovation was sequenced to deliver one cohesive contemporary aesthetic across every visible surface.

Renovation highlights
The original parquet was removed and replaced with Scandinavian-style engineered hardwood flooring in a light tone — wide planks, consistent grain, and a finish bright enough to lift the whole main floor. The staircase was reworked alongside the floor install: existing red oak treads and handrail were refinished to match the new flooring tone, wrought iron balusters replaced the original spindles, and new wooden posts were added for a sophisticated, modern focal point at the centre of the home.
Trim work was upgraded throughout. The original colonial baseboards were replaced with 7″ step-bevel baseboards and matching shoe moulding, and matching-style door and window casings were installed across the main floor for a single consistent trim profile. All interior doors and hardware were replaced. A statement wainscoting feature was added to one wall, providing a textural accent against the otherwise clean modern surfaces and tying the overall remodel to a traditional architectural detail used in a contemporary way.
