In the world of home renovation, it’s not just about square footage or fixtures, it’s about finishing details that leave a lasting impression. At JG Contracting, we believe the difference between “just another renovation” and a truly memorable space lies in the custom touches. These are the thoughtful, creative elements that bring personality, elegance, and purpose to every room. Whether it’s a subtle architectural feature or a bold design statement, these extras consistently earn rave reviews from our clients across the Greater Toronto Area.
If you’re planning an upgrade and want your home to stand apart, here are seven standout features our clients love, and that we can bring to life in your next renovation.
1. Faux Finishes That Add Depth and Character
Forget flat walls. Our specialized faux finishes give your interiors texture, warmth, and dimension. From Venetian plaster to brushed metallics and stone-like effects, these hand-applied treatments bring old-world elegance or modern drama, depending on your aesthetic.
Clients love faux finishes because they:
- Create a one-of-a-kind look
- Pair beautifully with custom lighting
- Elevate even small rooms into visual showpieces
We offer custom samples and consult on colour palettes to ensure the final result aligns with your home’s character.
2. Feature Walls with Custom Millwork
A well-crafted feature wall is both a focal point and a statement of quality. Whether it’s rich wood paneling, geometric MDF designs, or reclaimed barnboard, our carpentry team brings precision and artistry to every project.
Popular options include:
- Slatted wood accent walls behind beds or TVs
- Board and batten dining room panels
- Wainscoting for timeless hallway or stairway appeal
It’s a perfect way to give your space architectural flair without a full remodel.
3. Built-In Niches and Shelving
Smart design meets visual appeal when you integrate built-in storage solutions. From shower niches lined with mosaic tile to recessed wall cubbies in entryways or living rooms, these features keep things functional and stylish.
Clients especially love:
- Spa-like niches for soap and candles
- Book nooks with LED backlighting
- Hidden shelves inside drywall partitions
These touches offer seamless storage and a modern, minimal look.
4. LED Accent Lighting in Unexpected Places ✨
Lighting is more than a utility, it’s atmosphere. We install customized LED accents in areas you might not expect, such as:
- Toe-kick lighting beneath cabinets or vanities
- Backlit mirrors and artwork
- Stair treads with soft-glow strips
These features enhance safety, create ambience, and add luxury without major structural changes.
5. Statement Ceilings That Draw the Eye Up
Ceilings are often overlooked, but when designed thoughtfully, they transform a room. We’ve helped clients create:
- Coffered ceilings with crown molding
- Shiplap or reclaimed wood planks
- Contrasting paint or wallpapered ceilings
These touches work especially well in entryways, dining rooms, and master bedrooms where first impressions matter.
6. Custom Tile Inlays and Patterns
From herringbone backsplashes to patterned floor mosaics, custom tile design is a client favourite. It’s not just about colour, it’s about artistry.
We work with:
- Hexagonal tiles in modern powder rooms
- Decorative borders in showers or foyers
- Tile transitions that seamlessly blend hardwood and ceramic
Our team ensures grout lines, layout, and symmetry are flawless, because every detail counts.
7. Architectural Nooks and Design Cutouts
Sometimes it’s the small things that grab attention. One of our most beloved custom touches is the addition of architectural nooks and cutouts, which serve both form and function.
These include:
- Arched entryways between rooms
- Curved shelving units or wine alcoves
- Window cutouts to let light flow between spaces
They add softness, charm, and visual interest, and reflect a high-end, custom-built feel.
