Waverley Heights sits in Winnipeg's southwest, sandwiched between Kenaston Boulevard to the east and Waverley Street to the west, in the corridor south of Grant Avenue. The neighbourhood developed predominantly in the 1980s and early 1990s, creating a consistent stock of bi-level, four-level split, and two-storey homes with attached garages — a layout configuration that was enormously popular with young Winnipeg families during that era. Streets like Scurfield Boulevard, Pemberton Avenue, and the crescents off Waverley give the neighbourhood its characteristic sweeping, low-traffic feel.
Waverley Heights kitchens from the 1985–1998 build era are characterized by the design preferences of the time: dark oak or white melamine cabinetry, laminate countertops in earth tones, double-basin drop-in sinks, and fluorescent light fixtures centered on the ceiling. Many of these kitchens are entirely intact from their original build — functional, but deeply dated visually and ergonomically.
Our renovation strategy for Waverley Heights homes typically involves a combination of structural adjustment and cosmetic transformation. For the four-level splits, we frequently explore opening the kitchen toward the sunken family room — a dramatic improvement that turns a closed cooking space into a social hub. For the two-storeys, we focus on cabinetry, countertop, and floor upgrades that transform the visual character without structural changes.
Waverley Heights homeowners are often renovating with resale in mind — many have lived in these homes since they were new and are thinking about right-sizing in the next 5–8 years. We understand how to renovate for that goal: choosing finishes that appeal broadly, avoiding overly personalized choices, and maximizing the functional improvements that resale buyers actually pay for.
