East York houses are small, solid and full of potential. Most of what we see here is a 1940s bungalow or a narrow semi with a kitchen at the back that was never meant for a family that cooks, a single bathroom, and a low basement. The question is almost always the same: how do we get more out of the square footage we have.

Our answer is usually some mix of a rear kitchen re-layout, a bathroom rebuilt around a walk-in shower, a basement finished with the ceiling height we can actually get, and a staircase rebuilt so it stops being the ugliest thing in the house. Tight sites mean careful material handling and respect for the neighbours; that is just how we work here.

What we get called for most in East York

  • Rear kitchen re-layouts in bungalows and semis
  • Single-bathroom rebuilds with a walk-in shower instead of a tub
  • Low-ceiling basement finishing
  • Stair rebuilds and railing replacements

What East York homeowners said

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    Esan and his crew replaced two broken fence posts. They arrived early and were able to complete the job in one day. I was concerned as my backyard backs onto a parking lot and didn’t want my yard exposed overnight. The price was reasonable, they were polite and most importantly my fence is now stable. Would definitely consider them for future work.

Questions from East York homeowners

Our basement ceiling is under 7 feet. Can it still be finished?

Often, yes. We will measure at the site visit and tell you honestly what is possible, including whether lowering the floor makes sense for your budget or not.

How do you handle a narrow East York lot with no driveway?

We plan deliveries and the dumpster around street parking, keep the sidewalk clear and protect the shared walkway if you have one. We let the neighbours know before demo day.

Which neighbourhoods count as East York for you?

The Danforth corridor, Pape Village, Woodbine Heights, Parkview Hills, Thorncliffe Park, Leaside and the Old East York blocks around Coxwell and O'Connor.

Permits in East York
