North York bungalows and side-splits were built with more basement than anyone knew what to do with. We turn that space into a legal second suite that pays you rent every month, or into the family room, office or gym the house never had. Permits, drawings, inspections and construction, all under one contract.

North York was built for this
North York’s housing stock is mostly postwar. Bungalows, side-splits and back-splits went up through the 1950s and 60s across Willowdale, Newtonbrook, Bathurst Manor, Lansing, Downsview and Don Mills, on lots that are wider than anything built in the city since.
That matters for three reasons. Wide lots mean there is usually room down the side of the house for a separate entrance. Bungalow footprints mean the basement is the same square footage as the main floor, so you are not carving a suite out of a narrow strip. And detached homes give you sound separation that a semi never will.
The catch is age. Houses from that era come with things we plan for before we quote:
A North York suite doesn’t just add space. It adds income.
North York is one of the strongest rental sub-markets in the city, and the reasons are structural. Line 1 runs up Yonge through York Mills, Sheppard-Yonge, North York Centre and Finch. Line 4 runs east along Sheppard. York University sits at the west end, Seneca’s Newnham campus at the northeast. North York General, Sunnybrook and Humber River are all within the boundary. Nurses, residents, grad students and commuters all want a clean one-bedroom near a subway station, and there is not enough of that supply.
A legal suite in a house on a bus route to Finch station rents differently than an illegal one. It rents at full market rate, it appraises, it passes a home inspection, and it does not put your home insurance at risk.

Second suites built to code from day one: egress, fire separation, interconnected alarms, permitted and inspected, with the paperwork in your hands at the end.
Family rooms, home offices, gyms, and space the kids can disappear into. Planned around how the house is actually used.
We find water before we frame. Drainage, seepage, vapour barrier and insulation, handled first.
Full rebuilds and refreshes, upstairs or down. The 1960s four-piece with the pink tile is a job we’ve done many times.
Flooring, kitchens, living spaces. We take on full home and condo work across North York alongside our basement projects.
A renovation is a big decision, so we keep every step clear and upfront. No surprise costs, no juggling contractors, no wondering what happens next. Here’s how a project works with us, from the first visit to the finished space.
We measure the space, check ceiling height, moisture, egress and your panel, and listen to what you want. No number thrown out on the spot.
Fixed and itemized, walked through line by line, with your financing options laid out so you know the monthly cost before you decide anything.
Layout, finishes, and every permit the job needs, including the zoning check that comes first.
Same crew from framing to tile. One point of contact.
Walkthrough, touch-ups, sign-off, and your closed permits and ESA certificate handed to you.
We specialize in basement finishing, basement renovations, and bathroom renovations, and we take on full home and condo projects across Toronto. We manage every project ourselves from design through final build, so there’s one team to deal with and no chasing for updates. You get straight communication, timelines we actually hold to, and work that holds up.
Financing available based on your budget starting from $999 per month for 1-bedroom basement
