Renovations Where the Structure Actually Matters

The bigger the renovation, the more it becomes an engineering problem, not only a design one.

Removing a load-bearing wall, adding a second storey, extending a foundation, or opening up an older Maritime home all change how the building carries its own weight. Get that wrong and the surprises are expensive and sometimes unsafe. At Pythagore Construction, your renovation is planned by certified project managers with a background in engineering and built by the same team, so the structural decisions are made by qualified people accountable for them. That is our hiring standard on every project, not the resume of one person.

It is also how we can commit to a price. We assess the existing home before we quote, so the number you sign reflects what is really behind the walls, not a hopeful guess.

Why Renovate With Pythagore

The Structure, Taken Seriously

Structural changes are engineered by qualified engineers and coordinated by us as your project manager. Walls come down and additions go up on engineered plans, not guesswork.

A Fixed Price, With Honest Allowances

Renovations are where budgets usually run away. We assess the existing structure first, then lock your price. Items that genuinely vary, like site work or your final finishes, are carried as clearly defined allowances with generous budgets, so surprises are the exception, not the rule.

One Team, Start to Finish

Design, engineering, and construction under one roof. The people who plan your renovation are the ones who carry it out.

Respect for the Home You Have

We assess what is already there before we open a wall, and we manage the dust, disruption, and timeline while you live your life around it.

Renovation Questions, Answered

How much does a major home renovation cost?

It depends on the scope, the age and condition of the home, and how much structure you are changing. We do not quote off a wish list. We assess the existing home during pre-construction, then give you a fixed contract price, with variable items carried as clearly defined allowances, before demolition begins. That approach holds true whether your home is in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island.

Do I need an engineer for a home renovation?

For structural changes, yes. Removing a load-bearing wall, adding a storey or an addition, or altering a foundation should be designed by a qualified engineer. Because we have a background in engineering, we know when it is required and coordinate it as your project manager, rather than leaving you to chase an extra vendor.

Can you build an addition onto my existing home?

Yes. Additions are a core part of what we do, from a single room to a full second storey, across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. We assess how your existing structure and foundation will carry the addition before we design it.

Do you renovate older homes?

Yes, and older Maritime homes are exactly where an assessment first pays off. We look at what is behind the walls, the structure, and the systems before committing to a plan, so the renovation is built on what is really there.

Will my renovation need a permit?

Structural work and additions usually require a building permit from your municipality or regional service commission, and we handle that process as part of the project. We design to exceed the National Building Code of Canada 2020, so your renovation is done properly, not just quickly.

Do you take on renovations across the Maritimes?

Yes. We take on major renovations and additions across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, with the same fixed-price approach, backed by an engineering background, in each. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are as central to our work as New Brunswick.
