Two additions and complete renovation in Innisfil.
The Stroud Additions project in Innisfil stands as a landmark example of how high-performance engineering, specifically ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction, can completely redefine a home's footprint and energy efficiency.
The Story: A Double Addition & Whole-Home Overhaul
This was not a simple cosmetic update; it was a massive structural evolution. Reno A Home managed the simultaneous construction of two large-scale additions while performing a "gut" renovation of the original residence.
By doubling the square footage and modernizing the core, the team transformed a standard Innisfil house into a high-performance estate.
Why ICF Construction?
For this project, the team utilized Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) from Amvic, a premium building method that offers several 2026-standard benefits:
Comprehensive Renovation Solutions:
Beyond the structural heavy lifting, Reno A Home provided "precision and care" in every interior detail:
The Reno A Home Difference in 2026
Managed by Scott Hunter and Terry Barkey, this project highlights their ability to act as a true single-source General Contractor. From the complex structural work of ICF foundations to the final kitchen tile, they handled the entire scope "on time and on budget."
For homeowners in Innisfil and Barrie looking for "exceptional home improvement solutions" that go beyond the surface, the Stroud project is the gold standard. Explore the structural phases and final transformation on the Stroud Additions Page.

Why ICF Construction?
For this project, the team utilized Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) from Amvic, a premium building method that offers several 2026-standard benefits:
- Superior Thermal Mass: ICF walls provide incredible insulation, significantly lowering heating and cooling costs compared to traditional wood framing—a vital feature for the Simcoe County climate.
- Unmatched Strength: The steel-reinforced concrete core provides maximum structural integrity, creating a foundation that is fire-resistant and incredibly quiet.
- Basement Comfort: Using ICF for the additions ensures that any new lower-level living spaces are warm, dry, and free from the typical "basement dampness."
Comprehensive Renovation Solutions:
Beyond the structural heavy lifting, Reno A Home provided "precision and care" in every interior detail:
- Structural Integration: The team expertly tied the new ICF additions into the existing home, creating a seamless transition between old and new sections.
- Total Kitchen & Bath Remodel: As part of the whole-home renovation, the interior was stripped to the studs to accommodate modern plumbing, high-efficiency electrical, and custom cabinetry from partner company Canadiana Kitchens.
- Open-Concept Flow: The project involved removing original exterior walls to merge the new additions with the main living area, creating the wide-open floor plan desired by modern homeowners.

We hired Scott and Terry to manage a major renovation of our home. We added two additions, as well as updated all wiring and plumbing. One addition added a large new kitchen, pantry and laundry room while the other addition extended out master bedroom and added an ensuite bathroom. Scott and Terry met with us a few times, asking us what we wanted from our renovation. They helped us with suggestions and explained how they would create our dream home they also explained the steps they would take, including permits and inspections, keeping the project up to building codes. That extensive knowledge and willingness to met every standard, kept our minds at ease, knowing that they were not cutting corners.
The final product was a gorgeous 13x17 kitchen with a large island, cabinets and built in appliances, lighting and drool worthy counters. All very precisely built and sturdy, that will last us tge life of the house. They also had an excellent electrician wire up the kitchen with receptacles and lights placedin perfect locations to make the work areas comfortable.
Our ensuite bathroom was also another home run. We have a 5 piece set up and the precision and materials were excellent quality. We especially love the solid marble sheets they used for the shower and tub surrounds. We love what they did in the bathroom and again they built with quality workmanship that gives us the feeling that the room will last.
Scott and Terry also paid attention to details in their work. They put a bead of silicone between the baseboard and floor in the bathrooms. Sounds like overkill until you have young children splashing water all about and then we didn’t have to worry about the water seeping out and into the walls.
They did such an amazing job with the house that we brought them back in to do our basement bathroom which required opening up the concrete floor. They installed a sink, toilet and shower and then did the tile work in the shower. Again, they paid close attention to detail, even though for us it was a basement bathroom. We are very happy with their work there too.
Scott and Terry were always on the site and were reasonably available. They communicated well with us keeping the the project on track and on time. They have been working at this for a while and they have several other contacts like electricians and interior designers as well as know where for us to look at materials like tiles and fixtures. This additional knowledge makes them very valuable in that they can help coordinate all aspects of the project more efficiently.
We are very happy with Scott and Terrys work, as well as their positive work attitude. They are worth every dollar. Thank you guys for making our dream home a reality.
