Parade of Renovations 2025: Spotlight on McCarty Squared, Inc.

Every fall, London, Ontario transforms into a hub for home design inspiration as the London Home Builders’ Association hosts its highly anticipated Parade of Renovations. This annual ticketed event offers a unique opportunity for homeowners, renovators, and design enthusiasts to experience the best in local craftsmanship and forward-thinking renovation trends. 

Set for October 5, 2025, the 35th Parade features 10 standout homes and promises a captivating journey through some of London’s most impressive interior and exterior transformations—including an unmissable stop at 32 Widdicomb Crescent, meticulously renovated by McCarty Squared, Inc.

What’s Trending in the 2025 Parade of Renovations

This year’s Parade is all about blending style with sustainability, functionality, and the latest in home innovation. Homeowners touring the Parade can expect to see:

• Sustainable, eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs 
• Smart home technologies that simplify daily living 
• Open floor plans and flexible, multifunctional spaces 
• Seamless indoor-outdoor connections, harnessing natural materials and light 
• Sophisticated design choices where form meets function. 

Walking through these featured homes is more than just a chance to see gorgeous finishes. It’s a golden opportunity to gather actionable ideas for your next home renovation, whether you live in London, Arva, Byron, or the surrounding areas. Plus, talking with contractors and designers provides insight into both the latest trends and what’s practical for real homes in Southwestern Ontario.

McCarty Squared, Inc.: Innovative Design at Widdicomb Crescent

One of the most talked-about homes in this year’s Parade is McCarty Squared’s remarkable project at Widdicomb Crescent. As a leading construction company serving London and its neighbouring communities—including Masonville, Wortley, Oakridge, and Dorchester—McCarty Squared has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, custom renovations that reflect the personal values and unique lifestyles of its clients.

Personalized Approach for a Modern Family

The story behind this home is as inspiring as the finished space itself. The clients, a family new to Canada, brought specific cultural and functional needs to the table. McCarty Squared listened closely, delivering nuanced design touches such as:

• Heated floors throughout areas, especially important for families that enjoy going barefoot indoors 
• Minimal use of carpeting to align with lifestyle preferences 
• Careful material selection, from tile and hardware to gold and gold-leaf accents that tie back to the homeowners’ heritage and style preferences.

Transformative Changes & Smart Renovation Choices

Rather than making simple updates, McCarty Squared reimagined the home’s layout to maximize flow and usability:

• Removing a wall to create an open-concept kitchen with a spacious island for family gatherings 
• Adding a convenient guest bathroom off the foyer 
• Updating the basement to serve as a vibrant, multi-purpose playroom. 

These design decisions not only speak to 2025’s leading renovation themes—open, functional, and customized spaces—but also show how thoughtful changes can improve daily life for real families.

Why the McCarty Squared Home Is a Must-See This Fall

Whether you’re planning your own renovation or simply seeking inspiration, the McCarty Squared project is a highlight of the Parade. Here’s why:

• It reflects thoughtful, culturally attuned design 
• Comfort and aesthetics are prioritized through smart material choices 
• The home’s reworked layout showcases how to make every square foot work harder for modern living 
• It’s a clear demonstration of local expertise and craftsmanship right here in London, Ontario.
