When building a home from the ground up, it’s not necessarily simple to envision what may go inside. Staring into the deep hole of the foundation, the last thing on most homeowners’ minds is the placement of the bathtub or the type of flooring that will eventually lie underfoot. Fortunately, when Superior Construction took hold of this Toronto property, they had their plans firmly in mind. Demolishing a small home that previously stood on the land, they created a structure that would easily adhere to many families’ idea of a dream home. Ebony Kitchen & Bath was called in to create the beautiful custom-built kitchen and bathrooms for which the company is known. These luxurious areas are the most important for resale value, and Ebony’s exacting touches on the four bathrooms and large kitchen area undoubtedly contributed to its quick sale.

Innovation in Construction Award Winner
Using wood and stone in darker tones, enhanced and visually warmed up this large kitchen with lots of natural light. Refacing kept the budget in check, and retaining the existing boxes and flooring also makes this an eco-friendly project.

Plumbing for a basement sink
We are planning to renovate our basement bathroom. The existing plumbing pipe for the sink comes up from the floor and it seems that a full vanity is required just to hide this black pipe. The contractor has advised that there is nothing that can be done to change that, and that a pedestal sink or a vanity that is open at the base are not options. There isn't really enough room for a vanity - one of the cupboard doors on the previous vanity wouldn't open fully because the toilet is too close. We presume that the plumbing could be changed, but is the contractor really saying that it would be very costly to do so? Read the answer »
