About Fort Garry

Fort Garry — encompassing both North Fort Garry and South Fort Garry — is a well-established residential area in south Winnipeg, situated near the University of Manitoba. The neighbourhood features a mix of homes built primarily in the 1960s through the 1980s, alongside newer developments in the surrounding areas.

Fort Garry is a popular family-friendly neighbourhood known for its excellent schools, quiet tree-lined streets, and beautiful parks along the Red River. Many homes in the area still have their original kitchens and bathrooms from the era they were built, making them prime candidates for thoughtful renovations that preserve the character of the home while bringing it into the modern age.

Typical Projects in Fort Garry

Common renovations we complete for Fort Garry homeowners

Opening Up Closed Kitchens

Many Fort Garry homes from the 1960s–1980s have enclosed galley or L-shaped kitchens separated from the dining and living areas. We remove non-structural walls and reconfigure layouts to create bright, open-concept kitchens that work for modern family life.

Updating Split-Level Homes

Split-level and bi-level homes are common in Fort Garry. We modernize these homes with updated flooring throughout all levels, refreshed staircases, new railings, and cohesive design that ties the different levels together seamlessly.

Finishing Walkout Basements

Fort Garry's terrain near the Red River means many homes have walkout basements with great natural light. We finish these spaces into functional living areas — family rooms, home offices, guest suites, or legal rental suites with separate entrances.

Flooring Replacement

Replacing original vinyl, carpet, and linoleum with modern luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is one of the most impactful upgrades for Fort Garry homes. LVP offers the look of hardwood with superior durability, water resistance, and easy maintenance.

Modernizing Ensuite Bathrooms

Many Fort Garry master bedrooms have small, dated ensuite bathrooms with builder-grade finishes. We redesign these spaces with modern tile, updated vanities, walk-in showers, and better storage to create a comfortable, spa-like retreat.
