Ottawa renovations, built by the right team for your house.

North & Noble is a general contractor serving Ottawa and the surrounding area. Liam scopes your project, brings in the trades it needs and runs the job from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.

  • Written scope and price before work starts
  • The trades your project needs, not a standing crew
  • One contractor to call from first visit to final walkthrough

A team built for each project

Some renovation companies send the same crew to every job. North & Noble works the other way. Liam is the general contractor on every project, and he builds the team around what your house needs.

  • The right trades

    A kitchen, an addition and a deck each call for different people. We book the trades who do that kind of work every day.

  • One point of contact

    You deal with Liam. He schedules the trades, answers your questions and stays responsible for the result.

  • Scope and price in writing

    You see what is included, who is doing it and what it costs before work starts.

  • Local to Ottawa

    We know the city, its older housing stock and what a winter does to a building.
