Experienced Renovation Contractors: Bringing Your Home’s Vision to Life
Remodeling an older home or adding square footage requires far more than aesthetic updates; it demands a deep understanding of load-bearing structures, subflooring stability, and moisture protection. CF Framing is your trusted local renovation contractor serving homeowners across Tillsonburg, London, Brantford, and surrounding areas.
From removing structural walls for modern open-concept floor plans to full-scale additions, we turn outdated houses into high-functioning homes.
Comprehensive Renovation & Structural Remodeling Services
A successful renovation protects your home's equity. Because our background is rooted in structural carpentry, we specialize in the high-stakes work that cosmetic contractors often avoid:
- Home Additions & Second-Storey Extensions: Adding bedrooms, sunrooms, or extended living rooms built seamlessly onto your existing footprint.
- Load-Bearing Wall Removals: Safely replacing load-bearing interior walls with engineered LVL or steel beams to open up kitchens and main living spaces.
- Basement Finishing & Conversions: Transforming cold, unfinished concrete basements into comfortable legal suites, recreational rooms, or guest quarters.
- Complete Main-Floor Reconfigurations: Upgrading layouts, relocating doorways, reinforcing subflooring for tile/hardwood, and modernizing spaces.
- Garage Conversions & Workshop Upgrades: Insulating, framing, and finishing attached or detached spaces for productive everyday use.

Why Hire a Renovation Contractor With Framing Roots?
Most aesthetic issues after a renovation—such as sticking doors, cracked ceiling drywall, and squeaky floors—trace back to poor underlying framing. By working with CF Framing, you guarantee that:
- Deflection calculations on new floor joists prevent future bounce.
- Structural headers over wider openings are calculated properly for upper-storey snow and dead loads.
- Transitions between old construction and new construction sit completely flush.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a building permit for an interior renovation in Ontario?
Cosmetic updates (paint, flooring, cabinetry) do not require permits. However, removing walls, modifying plumbing/electrical rough-ins, or adding structural extensions requires permits from your local municipality (e.g., Town of Tillsonburg, City of London, or City of Brantford). We assist with structural planning and permit inspections.
How far do you travel for renovation projects?
Our home base is Tillsonburg, and our service radius spans up to an hour in any direction, routinely taking on renovation projects in London, Brantford, St. Thomas, Woodstock, and Simcoe.
