About New Brunswick Renovations

Connecting NB homeowners with trusted renovation contractors across the province. A free matching service and knowledge hub, part of the New Brunswick Construction Network.

Our Story

Home renovation is one of the biggest investments a New Brunswick homeowner will make. Whether you are gutting a kitchen in a Fredericton century home, finishing a basement in Moncton, adding a second storey in Saint John, or replacing the siding on a Miramichi bungalow, the scope of work can be overwhelming. Renovation projects touch nearly every trade -- framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, painting -- and coordinating the right professionals for each phase is where most homeowners feel lost. Add in NB's unique climate challenges -- freeze-thaw cycles that stress foundations, Maritime humidity that demands proper moisture management, and long winters that shrink construction windows -- and you quickly understand why finding the right contractor matters as much as choosing the right materials.

New Brunswick Renovations exists to simplify that process. We connect homeowners across the province with experienced, local renovation contractors who understand Maritime building conditions. Tell us about your project and we match you with professionals who serve your area and specialize in the type of work you need. Our service is completely free for homeowners -- no fees, no obligations. We always recommend verifying WorkSafeNB coverage and liability insurance before signing any contract, and we encourage homeowners to get multiple quotes and check references before committing to a contractor.

Our Reno IQ knowledge base provides free expert answers to renovation questions specific to New Brunswick -- from permit requirements and NB Building Code compliance to budgeting, material choices, and what to expect during a renovation project. We are part of the New Brunswick Construction Network, a family of specialized trade sites helping NB residents find qualified contractors for every aspect of home improvement.

Renovation Services We Cover

From single-room updates to whole-home transformations, we connect you with the right professional for every type of renovation project:

Kitchen Renovation

Complete kitchen remodelling including cabinetry, countertops, layout redesign, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and ventilation improvements. NB's older housing stock often features outdated galley layouts and insufficient electrical capacity that a professional kitchen renovation can address. Projects range from cosmetic refreshes to full gut renovations bringing everything up to current NB Building Code standards.

Kitchen renovations in NB typically run $15,000-$100,000+ depending on scope, materials, and whether structural changes are involved.

Bathroom Renovation

Full bathroom renovations including tiling, plumbing, fixtures, vanities, shower and tub conversions, and accessibility upgrades. Maritime humidity makes proper waterproofing and ventilation critical in NB bathrooms -- professional installers use moisture barriers, cement board, and HRV-connected exhaust fans to prevent mould and structural damage behind walls.

Bathroom renovations cost $8,000-$50,000 in New Brunswick, with most mid-range projects falling in the $15,000-$30,000 range.

Basement Finishing

Basement finishing and renovation including framing, insulation, moisture control, flooring, electrical, and egress windows. NB's damp Maritime conditions make basement moisture management essential -- professional contractors address water intrusion, install interior drainage and vapour barriers, and select materials rated for below-grade environments before any finishing work begins.

Basement finishing projects in NB run $20,000-$75,000 for a typical 800-1,200 sq ft space, including all trades.

Home Additions

Room additions, bump-outs, second-storey additions, and garage conversions with full structural engineering and NB Building Code compliance. Additions require building permits, foundation work, and careful integration with existing mechanical systems. NB's freeze-thaw cycles demand proper foundation depth and waterproofing to prevent frost heave damage.

Home additions start at $40,000 for small bump-outs and range to $200,000+ for second-storey or multi-room additions.

Siding & Exterior

Siding replacement, exterior cladding upgrades, soffit and fascia, and weather-resistant building envelope systems. NB homes face relentless Maritime wind, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles that wear exterior materials faster than in milder climates. Professional siding contractors address housewrap, flashing, and ventilation to create a durable, energy-efficient exterior.

Siding projects in NB cost $10,000-$40,000 depending on home size, material choice (vinyl, fibre cement, engineered wood), and the condition of underlying sheathing.

Windows & Doors

Energy-efficient window and door replacement, patio doors, entry systems, and storm windows. With NB's long, cold winters, properly installed high-performance windows reduce heating costs by 15-25% and eliminate drafts. Professional installation includes proper shimming, insulation, flashing, and interior/exterior trim to prevent air and moisture infiltration.

Window and door replacement runs $5,000-$30,000 depending on the number of openings, frame material, and glass performance rating.

Roofing

Roof replacement, repair, re-shingling, and ventilation upgrades. NB roofs endure heavy snow loads, ice damming, wind-driven rain, and dramatic temperature swings. Professional roofers address underlayment, ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, proper ridge and soffit ventilation, and flashing details that prevent the premature failures common in Maritime conditions.

Roofing projects cost $8,000-$35,000 in New Brunswick, with most residential re-roofs falling in the $12,000-$20,000 range.

Whole-Home Renovation

Comprehensive whole-home renovation combining multiple trades for full interior and exterior transformation. Whole-home renovations require careful project management -- sequencing demolition, structural work, rough-ins (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), insulation, drywall, finishes, and exterior work so trades do not interfere with each other and the project stays on timeline and budget.

Whole-home renovations in NB range from $50,000 for interior-focused projects to $300,000+ for complete structural and cosmetic overhauls.
