Renovation contractor in
North York.

North York is built on post-war bungalows and side-splits, most of them on lots wider than anything in the old city. That is why so much of the work here is bigger than a refresh: a second storey on a bungalow, a rear extension, or a full tear-down and rebuild when the house has reached the end. As part of the City of Toronto, every one of those jobs runs through the City of Toronto for permits and zoning.

ELG handles the full scope under one contract: design, permits, 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 North York

Kitchen renovation in North York. North York bungalows and side-splits usually carry closed 1960s kitchens that no longer match how the house is used. We remove the dividing walls, run new services, and build an open kitchen sized to the larger footprint these lots allow.

Bathroom renovation in North York. We rebuild original bathrooms in post-war North York homes down to the studs: waterproofing, tile, and new plumbing, and we add ensuites where the bedroom wing allows.

Basement finishing in North York. Full-height North York basements convert well into in-law and rental suites. We handle the layout, the separate entrance, the permit, and the finish as one job.

Home additions in North York. Wide North York lots take second-storey additions and rear extensions well. We manage the drawings, the approvals, and the build with our own crews.

Demolition in North York. From single-wall removals to whole-bungalow teardowns ahead of a rebuild, with engineering and permits handled before anything comes down.

Excavation in North York. Separate-entrance digs for basement suites, garden suite servicing, and grading fixes on mature lots where water has started moving the wrong way.

Process

From first call
to finished build in North York.

  1. 01

    Walk-through

    We come to the property in North York, measure, and tell you on site what the house can take. Direct answers from the person who will run the job, not a referral to a remote design team.

  2. 02

    Quote

    Drawings, material specifications, itemized pricing and a draw schedule. No catch-all line items. You see exactly what is included before signing.

  3. 03

    Permits

    North 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.

  4. 04

    Build

    Construction begins on the contracted start date. Weekly updates include site photos. You are contacted only for decisions that affect the build, not for routine check-ins.

Questions

North York renovation questions.

Where do permits go for North York projects?

North York is part of the City of Toronto, so permits go through the City of Toronto. We file the application, handle the zoning review, and book inspections, including committee of adjustment when an addition needs a minor variance. You do not deal with the city yourself.

Do you do bungalow additions and full rebuilds?

Yes. A lot of North York work is exactly that. We add second storeys to post-war bungalows, extend out the back, and tear down and rebuild on the larger lots when the existing house is past saving. We design it, permit it, and build it under one contract.

Which parts of North York do you cover?

All of it, including Willowdale, Don Mills, Bayview Village, Lansing, Bathurst Manor, and the streets around York Mills and Sheppard. If it is in North York, we work there.

Can you work on older North York homes?

Often. The bungalows and side-splits here are sixty or seventy years old. We expect aluminum or cloth wiring, undersized panels, cast-iron drains, and framing that has settled, and we price that into the scope instead of springing it on you once the walls are open.

How do I get a quote in North York?

Call or send the form. We do a walk-through, then you get an itemized fixed-price quote with a real start date.
