meet Emily King,
The person behind the project
Emily King is a Renovation Design and Project Management Consultant with 15+ years of hands-on experience transforming spaces across residential and commercial properties.
With almost a decade in the commercial construction industry managing multi-million dollar projects, Emily knows what it takes to coordinate complex budgets and many moving pieces — and she's brought that same expertise to your home.
From new builds and complete top-to-bottom overhauls, to income properties, Airbnb transformations, and primary residences, she’s done it all.
She has a gift for seeing past the dated, the overlooked, and the unloved — and knowing exactly how to bring out what a space can become.
Her clients describe working with her as the renovation experience they didn't know was possible — clear communication, organized timelines, and seamless contractor coordination so the project runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Whether this is your first renovation or your fifth, if the process feels overwhelming, you're in good hands.
What Emily brings to every project is equal parts design vision and project management — so the space you end up with is beyond what you ever imagined.

NL homeowners read this…
get up to $40K in government funding for your renovation
The NL Secondary and Basement Suite Incentive Program provides homeowners with up to 50% of renovation costs — to a maximum of $40,000 — to create a self-contained secondary or basement suite.
The funding comes as a forgivable loan, meaning you don't repay it as long as you rent the unit at below-market rates for five years.
If you live in St. John's, you may also be able to stack this with a City of St. John's municipal grant for even more funding. This is a first-come, first-served opportunity — and the program budget is limited.
Want your home to generate income for you?
Now is the time.
What Emily can do for your grant project:
Help you plan and scope a secondary suite
Coordinate all trades — plumber, electrician, carpenter, and more
Design the space so it commands top-dollar rent
Manage the timeline so the project stays on track
Ensure nothing gets missed in quotes or sequencing
