Renovation contractor in
East York.
East York is postwar Toronto: bungalows and semis from the 1940s and 1950s on compact lots, from Danforth Village up to Woodbine Gardens. A lot of the work here is basement suites, main-floor reworks, and additions that add space without moving. ELG works across all of it as a single design-build contractor.
We handle the full scope under one contract: design, permits through the City of Toronto, every trade, and finishing. One project manager runs your job from the first walk-through to the last, and the crews are our own, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
What we build in East York
Kitchen renovation in East York. East York's compact post-war homes reward careful kitchen planning. We open the main floor where structure allows and build storage into every inch the footprint gives us.
Bathroom renovation in East York. Most East York bungalows came with one original bathroom. We rebuild it properly, and where the plan allows we add a second one upstairs or in the basement so the house finally keeps up.
Basement finishing in East York. Basement suites with separate entrances are one of the most common East York projects we take on. We handle the dig, the underpinning where height is short, and the legal-suite permit path.
Home additions in East York. Small footprints make second-storey additions the natural East York move. We take one-and-a-half storey homes to full two storeys with drawings, permits, and our own crews.
Demolition in East York. Interior gut-outs of plaster and lath, garage removals, and teardown preparation for rebuilds, with bins and disposal included.
Excavation in East York. Walkout and separate-entrance digs, foundation work, and drainage grading on lots where the neighbours are close and access is tight.

Permits
East York has been part of the City of Toronto since amalgamation, so permits and inspections go through Toronto rather than a separate office. Renovations that move plumbing, electrical or a wall need a building permit through the City of Toronto. We pull it and handle the inspections for you.

East York renovation questions.
Do you pull permits for East York projects?
Yes. East York permits go through the City of Toronto. We file the application, then book and meet the inspections. You are not managing the city yourself.
Can you build a basement apartment or second unit in East York?
Yes. A legal second unit has rules for ceiling height, egress windows, fire separation, and parking. We design the basement to meet them, pull the permit, and build it so it passes inspection and can be registered.
Do you work on East York's postwar bungalows and semis?
Yes. The 1940s and 1950s homes here often hide dated wiring, smaller electrical panels, and low basements. We deal with those as part of the scope, not as surprise add-ons once the walls are open.
Which parts of East York do you cover?
All of it, including Danforth Village, Pape Village, Topham Park, Woodbine Gardens, and Thorncliffe Park, plus the rest of Toronto and the GTA.
How do I get a quote in East York?
Call or send the form. We do a walk-through, then you get an itemized fixed-price quote with a real start date.
