Concrete cutting in Stittsville

Stittsville has boomed over the last 25 years: what was once a small village at the end of Hazeldean Road is now one of the fastest-growing suburbs on Ottawa's west side. The homes in Fairwinds, Jackson Trails, Poole Creek and West Ridge were almost all built between the 1990s and 2010s — solid construction, but original basement windows are often too small for a proper bedroom. With Canadian Tire Centre just up the road and young families moving in by the dozen, we do a lot of work here: enlarging windows, cutting patio doors, and coring clean exits for heat pumps in basements that everyone eventually finishes.

Our services in Stittsville

• Window & door openings — enlarge a basement window for an egress-compliant bedroom, or cut a patio door into the foundation wall
• Concrete coring — precise holes for heat pumps, HRVs, dryer vents or plumbing
• Slab sawing — cuts in the basement slab to move a drain or add a bathroom
• Garage opening widening — converting a single door to a double
• Window well cut-outs — foundation cuts prepped for well installation

The demand we see most in Stittsville is basement finishing: a young family turning the lower level into a guest room, office or playroom. It almost always starts with an enlarged window — natural light, a code-compliant escape route, and a room that finally feels like a room.

Stittsville specifics

• Rock close to the surface: at the west end of town you approach the edge of the Canadian Shield — in some pockets bedrock sits near grade, and window well excavations take more muscle
• City of Ottawa permits: changing an opening in an exterior wall or adding a basement bedroom requires a permit under the Ontario Building Code — we'll walk you through it
• Newer homes, finished basements: foundations are straight and solid, but lower levels are often already finished — we wet-saw, capture dust and protect your flooring

Why an egress window matters so much

Most of the calls we get from Stittsville come from parents finishing a basement bedroom — for a teenager, a home office or guests. The Building Code is clear: a basement bedroom needs an egress window with a minimum clear opening. The original windows on 2000s-era homes almost never qualify. We cut the opening to exact dimensions, set the lintel where required, and prep the hole for the window well. One day of work, and your bedroom is compliant, bright and far safer. Send us a photo of the current window and we'll come back quickly with a clear price.
