How to Create a Functional Office with Home Renovations in Hamilton

Posted on July 28, 2023

It’s official, the home office is here to stay! Whether you’re working from home full-time, hybrid, or just occasionally, it’s becoming clear that having a space at home dedicated to work is essential. Many Hamilton home renovations have already jumped on this train by incorporating home offices into their projects. But as every great home renovation contractor knows, it’s not enough just to have a space where you keep your computer and files, a focused ambiance must be created. To flourish as a remote employee, you need a space that is dedicated to bringing out your best, allowing you to concentrate while still maintaining the level of comfort that can only be obtained from an at-home workspace.

Keep reading to learn more about how the home renovation contractors at Rose Building Group can help you build the perfect home office.

Add More Lighting

home renovation Hamilton One of the biggest perks of having a home office is that you can control the space, particularly the lighting. In most offices, lighting is often either too poor, which can make it harder to be productive, or too harsh, which can cause headaches and migraines. Adding natural light by installing windows is a great way to brighten up the place in a way that’s easier on the eye. You can also add light fixtures and smaller task lighting to help you focus on your work without straining your vision, while still catering to the aesthetic of the room.

Upgrade Your Windows

Keep yourself grounded while you work by allowing a sense of the outside world in. There’s nothing quite like natural lighting. Upgrading your windows allows you to feel in tune with nature and the rest of the world. Windows come in various shapes and sizes, and you can match them across your entire home with help from the team of home renovation contractors at Rose Building Group. With high-quality and well-placed windows even when you’re inside for long hours, you can still feel connected to the world around you.

Maximize Smart Storage

Nothing takes an office from productive to dysfunctional, quite like disorganization. By keeping storage space as a top priority during your Hamilton home renovation, you can avoid the pitfalls of a messy workstation. From embedded cabinets and high shelves to out-of-sight storage compartments, smart storage solutions can help you be more productive at work and enjoy your space more.

Enable Comfort

Another perk of working from home is that your office only has to cater to your needs. This means focusing on the things that make you feel most comfortable while you work. That could look like using modern furniture like a standing desk, installing heated floors for those early morning shifts, or completely altering the layout of the room so the sun is never in your eyes. The options for optimizing your comfort are endless!

Add a Splash of Colour

It’s very important that your home office is a space you actually want to spend time in. Adding a splash of colour is a simple way to set the tone of your workstation. Bright, joyous colours or bold print wallpapers can give you a renewed sense of excitement and motivation every morning. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that they make for far more interesting backdrops to all those video call meetings!

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.

I highly recommend Rose Building Group and we will have them back for future renovations.

Matthews team were patient with any questions or concerns I had and took the time to explain what was happening during the project and addressed any concerns. They are very professional and CLEAN.
