We are a local renovation team based in Ottawa. Our work covers home updates, repairs, and full room makeovers. Under Olexandr’s (Alex’s) lead, Be Leaf Renovation Inc. focuses on careful work and clear, honest service. Ottawa is our home, and most of our projects are in neighborhoods we know well.

So, how did it all begin?

Alex entered the trade in 2004. He first worked as an apprentice, helping with repairs and small rebuilds in his community. Those early years taught him how a home is built. After gaining solid experience, he opened his own company in 2021.

The Be Leaf Renovation began as a small crew handling bathroom upgrades. As more projects came in, Alex brought in certified workers with strong skills in plumbing, electrical work, and drywall. We still remember our first few clients. We still think about some of our early clients. One elderly man called us with a single word—“Help!” His previous contractor had done part of the demolition and started laying tiles, took the deposit, and never returned. We stepped in, finished the bathroom with proper care, and he later sent warm feedback that meant a lot to us.

Another family reached out because their bathroom had already been “finished,” but the tiles were uneven and the gaps were large. Our workers removed the poorly laid tiles and replaced them with new ones. It took time, but the result looked clean and straight, and the couple left happy.

Some clients even called back later with a friendly “Can you also look at our kitchen?” That pattern continued. People who hired us for a bathroom often returned for other rooms.Their support helped us grow. Many left kind reviews that still mean a lot to us. We read each one, and it reminds us why we care about each project.

Now we work on full home updates—kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and bedrooms. Some projects are simple fixes. Others involve larger plans, like changing layouts or updating old finishes.

Meet Alex—The Vision

Our Founder, CEO

Communicates with clients, translates needs into concepts, creates solutions, and defines the project’s personality.

Our company was founded by Alex, whose interest in building started early. He grew up as the son of an engineer who worked in construction. His father designed their family home and led a large team that created hydraulic structures, rafts, and aqueducts used to bring water to towns and villages. Alex spent much of his childhood watching how buildings were planned, repaired, and built from the ground up. Those years shaped the way he sees materials, structure, and the effort behind every project.

At 18, Alex began working with wood and earned a Diploma of a Qualified Worker as a woodcarver and bark craftsman. His artistic pursuits led him to earn a Master's degree in monumental painting, where he honed his understanding of materials and techniques for wall decoration such as mosaic, fresco, gold plating, wooden inserts, various types of acrylic. Alex began performing interior restoration and repair work in 2004.

Alex’s career grew after he started to work with several companies in Ottawa and gained steady experience on job sites. He first painted interiors, then moved on to more complex work, including installing a custom cabinet with detailed joints. Not long after, he was trusted with a full bathroom project. He finished it in two weeks—from demolition to placing the final handle on the cabinet door.

In time, Alex felt ready to build something of his own. He wanted a company that focused on strong workmanship and artistic beauty and that vision led him to start Be Leaf Renovation. His broad experience helps him guide his team, set clear goals, and support each worker in doing their best.
