From adding an entirely new floor to redesigning the heart of the home — this transformation was massive.

For this full 3-storey renovation, we expanded and reimagined the entire home, with this new open-concept kitchen becoming a focal point of the project.

The goal was simple: create a space that feels open, inviting, and built for modern living — while blending seamlessly with the rest of the home’s transformation.

And this is only the kitchen reveal.

Stay tuned.

As part of this full 3-floor home transformation, we’ve been hard at work completing the first level — the basement living space. What was once an unfinished lower level is now becoming a warm, functional part of the home where family and friends will gather.

From framing to finishing touches, every step is about creating a space that feels connected to the rest of the home.

This is just the first reveal in a much larger transformation. Two more floors to go… and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

Stay tuned as the rest of this home comes to life.

We dug deep to make space for a completely new vision.

This Sasen Homes project began by clearing and reshaping the entire property to make way for a full home renovation. From rebuilding the backyard space to adding a new exterior deck and garage, every part of this home has been thoughtfully transformed.

Now we’ve reached the landscaping stage — the final step that will bring the whole property together.

Stay tuned… the full reveal is coming soon.

Great homes are about more than the structure — th

Great homes are about more than the structure — they are about how every element works together.

This new garage was designed to complement the home’s architecture and exterior design, creating a seamless flow across the property. From the concrete walkways to the staircases connecting the spaces, every detail was planned to feel intentional and unified.

The garage isn’t just a place to park — it becomes part of the overall design story of the home, tying together the landscape, entry points, and outdoor living areas.

With the concrete work now complete, the vision is starting to come together.

Next this spring: landscaping and the back deck to complete the outdoor experience.

Stay tuned as we continue bringing this transformation to life.

The Sasen team made our kitchen and bathroom renovation a reality! From design to deconstruction to construction and all the finicky finishing touches, the team did it with integrity and professionalism and a sense of humour. Our new kitchen and bathroom are beautiful, functional and we love it! We really enjoyed working with Sasen and will definitely do it again.

I hired Matthew to work with me on renovation of my newly acquired, tiny condo in Kits. I had a relatively tiny budget for my fertile imagination, so it was a challenging job. Here are a few highlights that might be interesting to others looking to hire a contractor: 1. Trust. I found Matthew, his employees and sub-trades to be entirely trustworthy. They did what they promised. They kept me informed and found solutions. Without fail. 2. Quality. These guys do good work. Finishing is where it counts in my view. One example is Peter’s elegant surgery on prebuilt units to fit around plumbing, and into available space. I use these components every day and am so grateful that they look great and work beautifully. Jackie’s practical experience and encouragement helped me accept the possibilities of prebuilt over custom (which my budget would not allow). 3. Humour. This may seem like an odd comment, but, for me, being able to laugh together means there is common understanding. I wanted my contractor to understand me and my vision for my home. Matthew, Peter, Jackie and the crew all shared a lovely sense of humour about the sometimes stressful reno experience, and that gave me confidence that we were all working toward the same goals. That’s important regardless of size of budget. Everyone wants to spend wisely, right? On reflection, I am delighted with the work Sasen did for me and have no hesitation recommending them.

I have been involved with Sasen and Matt Senf for many years and 3 major renovation/repair projects. Not only have I found them to have high integrity and great access to terrific trades people, they have been super easy to work with and highly responsive to our needs. Naturally, I turned to them when I discovered a problem with my roof. They immediately had Will Franklin of Canuck Roofing come to my house to see what the problem was and to provide a solution. Will was very knowledgeable as well as very friendly and open about what he thought needed to be done. And he did it on the spot at a cost that is too low to mention. Once again this illustrated my good judgement on working with Sasen! Thanks Matt and Will!

After speaking with several renovation companies and seeing homes they had renovated in our area, we decided on Sasen to do our job. Matthew came to our house and we liked him and his values immediately. It turned out to be a very good decision as we are extremely happy with the results. The project manager, Darren, was excellent. He had a great sense of humour, was professional and committed to ensuring the work was properly completed. Ali, his helper, was also a competent worker. All of the contractors coming to our home were professional, respectful of our property and us. The job did take a while to complete, which at times, was frustrating, but it is complete now and we are very happy with the results. The job was completed pretty much on budget, even including the extras we had asked for. We are happy and proud of our home. Thank you for the lovely bottle of wine. Ivano and Cheryl
