Planned around the homes in Ajax
Ajax grew from a wartime town into a large suburban community, so its homes range from compact postwar houses to newer family homes. We plan renovations around the house you have and the way you live in it.
South Ajax includes small postwar homes and the historic Pickering Village area. Riverside, Applecroft and Westney Heights are largely 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, while Nottingham and north-east Ajax have newer homes where basements are common first projects.

Local considerations
What to plan for in Ajax
Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we check for early in Ajax.
Smaller postwar homes
Compact homes reward careful layouts, where every cabinet and doorway matters.
Heritage areas
Parts of Pickering Village have heritage character, which can affect exterior changes.
Lakefront and creek lots
Properties near the lake or creeks may need conservation authority approval for exterior work.
Basement egress
A basement bedroom needs a window or exit large enough to meet code.
Permits, budget and timing
Planning a renovation in Ajax
Building permits are issued by the Town of Ajax. Properties near the lake or watercourses may also need conservation authority approval for exterior or site work.
Smaller homes often move quickly once selections are made. Basement projects move faster when the layout and egress are agreed before permits are submitted.
Requirements depend on the property and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your project before the scope is fixed.
