The Journey of PAR Home Renovations
The Story Behind PAR Home Renovations
Our Journey to Creating Beautiful Homes
PAR Home Renovations began in 2017, born from the personal journey of Phil and Ashley Rieder. As newlyweds navigating the competitive real estate market in the GTA, they struggled to find a home that met both their needs and budget. Recognizing the potential of their combined skills—Phil’s expertise as an HVAC technician and Ashley’s love for design, they decided to purchase a fixer-upper and pour their hearts into making it their own. After successfully renovating their first two homes, they were approached by family and friends for help with their renovation projects. It was then that they realized their passion could become their life’s work.
Driven by the belief that a home should reflect its owners’ unique style and needs, Phil and Ashley founded PAR Home Renovations with a clear mission: to provide a personalized renovation experience that combines high-quality workmanship with genuine care for each client’s vision. Their journey, built on professionalism, reliability, and a commitment to excellence, has made them a trusted name in the Ottawa area. Their vision is to continue growing that trust, becoming the most reliable name in residential renovations in the community.


“When we aren’t renovating homes, you’ll find us spending time with our young family and Golden Retriever, Hudson. We love all four seasons here in Canada and make a point to spend as much time outside enjoying the beauty each new season has to offer. Whether it’s going on trail walks in the fall to take in the changing colors, kayaking or paddleboarding on the lake in the summer, or skiing, snowshoeing, and skating on a crisp winter day, we love it all.”
Professional and Reliable
What Our Clients Say
Many words come to mind but these in particular: reliable, quality, and professional! PAR built our dream basement, complete with a guest room, luxury bathroom, media room, flex play area, storage and laundry room. We now spend all of our time in our basement. Working with PAR was seamless. They worked with us every step of the way, presenting options and thoughtful considerations to make the project perfect and within budget. And I must say, it was the cleanest job site I’ve ever seen! Service with a smile goes a long way, too. Would hire again in a heart beat. I highly recommend.
Renee
My wife and I had decided to renovate the entire upper half of our house and take on the majority of the work ourselves. During the project we had come across some delays and were overwhelmed with the scope of the work and needed professional help. We made the call to PAR Home Renovations Inc for the installation of the tiles throughout our kitchen, laundry, washroom and foyer floor. Phil was professional, punctual, tidy and very competent in his abilities in performing the work. My wife and I are extremely happy with the result and received the floor we wanted at the price that was quoted. Phil, thank you for your professionalism, advice and making this process as painless as possible. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable contractor
that will be fair, honest and provide quality craftsmanship I highly recommend Par Home Renovations Inc and we will be using them moving forward in our future projects.
Anthony and Emilie
We hired PAR Home Renovations to carryout a complete demo and rebuild of our bungalow basement. We had some ideas already drawn up and quoted by others, but Phil made some suggestions that completely opened the space. We hired PAR based on the professional and passionate vibe we got from them, which gave us the confidence that they wanted the finished job to match our vision just as much as we did. Not enough can be said about Phil and Ashley’s organizational skills, attention to detail and efforts to keep the jobsite neat, even during demolition days. It was so greatly appreciated. Phil walked us through options and decisions every step of the way, allowing us to maintain control of the project as it developed. This took the stress out of the job for us and gave us the confidence that no corners were cut. We are loving our new space! If you want the job done RIGHT, hire PAR.
