Tesla MPower

Helping our Clients lower their energy bills

The best solar battery and smart home energy-storage solution available today

OakWood is approved to sell and install the Tesla Powerwall through MPower, which has the exclusive licensing rights in Canada for Tesla products. The Tesla Powerwall is a key component in our solar powered solution for helping clients achieve lower energy costs and self-sufficiency.

The Tesla Powerwall is a 14 kWh rechargeable lithium battery with liquid thermal control that provides a sustained power supply. With the Powerwall, you have the option to store your solar power and use the electricity during a power outage.

Or you can use the Powerwall to time shift your energy consumption and lower your electricity bill. This works by charging the Powerwall when rates are low to use; and then shifting to use the stored electricity when rates are high.

Real Estate Partners

Helping agents and homeowners turn any property into the ideal, move-in ready dream home

OakWood works with top Real Estate agents across the region to help them deliver superior value to their clients. In many cases, a property and an existing home would be “perfect” except:

  • It needs a new bathroom
  • The kitchen is too small or outdated
  • The basement is unfinished
  • A small addition would be ideal
  • Flooring needs to be replaced
  • The window seals are broken
  • The entire home is badly dated
  • And many other “fixable” problems

OakWood works closely with agents and clients to quickly assess, provide recommendations and our industry leading, fixed-price FullQuote™ to renovate the existing home. We can also facilitate financing for qualified clients; and always strive to complete all work by move-in date to minimize inconvenience.

OakWood also has access to hundreds of premium lots in quality subdivisions across the region and can help agents quickly find potential sites for a new dream home. OakWood provides a turnkey, high quality Design & Build solution for building a new custom home on any property including estate lots and in-fill lots.

OakWood can help you close more deals more quickly by offering a portfolio of comprehensive services that range from uncomplicated fix-it projects to complete Design & Build solutions.

Projects can include:

N
Single, two and three storey additions and bump-outs
N
Integrated in-law suites with separate entrances

N
Sunrooms, solariums, conservatories
N

Appliance Canada

Premium brands expertly installed and backed by OakWood

Our Partnership with Appliance Canada enables our clients to get a one-stop, turnkey solution for any Design & Build project that requires new appliances. Appliance Canada often extends special discounts and savings to Partners—which we pass on to you.

The most important benefit you get is ensuring your project takes into consideration any special hook-up, space, power and handling needs that new appliances may require. Many now have complex requirements that can affect the warranty.

OakWood includes these requirements in all design and planning for your project to ensure appliances are delivered, installed, and connected according to the manufacturer’s guidelines—with any potential warranty issues handled directly by OakWood.

Proud to be a Habitat for Humanity Partner

Your project could make an even bigger difference!

When you choose OakWood as your contractor of choice, you can also feel good knowing that where possible, reusable materials that are removed as part of a take-down process for your project will be donated to the Habitat for Humanity. That means your renovation could help give a needy family the hand-up they need to build a better life through affordable home ownership.

Habitat for Humanity is a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing low-income families with safe, decent, affordable housing. OakWood has been a partner since 2012 providing project management services, donating reusable materials and supporting Habitat’s ReNew It Program.

Cabico

The hand touch of an artisan

Affordable, high quality custom cabinetry

Cabinetry is a big part of most of the renovation and custom home solutions that we provide. Whether a kitchen, bathroom, dining room, home office, entertainment room—all usually need some type of cabinetry. While we have worked with many excellent cabinetry suppliers over the years, our standards are not only exceptionally high we also want to offer our clients maximum flexibility.

That’s why OakWood has partnered with Cabico—Canada’s largest independent manufacturer of high quality, custom cabinetry. OakWood has a dedicated production line inside the Cabico manufacturing plant. By eliminating the “middleman”, OakWood can provide affordable custom cabinetry, that’s made to measure, for any room, with with standard features that are extras on many other cabinetry products.

OakWood’s partnership with Cabico gives you a compelling alternative to standard, mass-produced cabinetry options that are typically available from big box stores and even higher-end cabinetry vendors:

N

Get exactly what you want – everything is customized to your exact specifications, nothing is premade or pre-assembled or “in stock” sitting on a shelf

N

Specialists – we work with Cabico’s team which are experts at designing and building high-quality cabinets from scratch

N

Unlimited options – you are free to choose any size, configuration, style, wood, colour, hardware or decorative accents

N

Any room in the house – whether it is a kitchen, bathroom, dining room, mud room, basement or any other room, we can provide 100s of examples to inspire you

N

Manufactured to a higher standard – furniture-grade cabinetry that is LEED compliant for the health of homeowners and the environment

N

Timely delivery – all cabinets are proudly manufactured right here in Canada

Say ‘no’ to standard, ready-to-ship pre-assembled cabinets that aren’t quite right—or very common. Say ‘yes’ to flexibility, freedom, and personalization.
