Planned around the homes in Pickering
Pickering has established family neighbourhoods near the lake and fast-growing new communities to the north. We plan renovations around the age of the home and the way your household uses it.
Bay Ridges and West Shore near Frenchman's Bay include older homes, while Amberlea, Liverpool and Brock Ridge are largely 1970s to 1990s subdivisions. Duffin Heights and Seaton are newer communities where basements and builder-grade finishes are common first projects.

Local considerations
What to plan for in Pickering
Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we check for early in Pickering.
Lakefront and creek lots
Homes near Frenchman's Bay, the lake or creeks may need conservation authority approval for exterior work.
New-home warranties
In newer communities, check how alterations affect any remaining new-home warranty.
1970s to 1990s systems
Established homes may be due for electrical, window or insulation upgrades alongside a renovation.
Basement moisture
Basement finishing works best when moisture and drainage are checked first.
Permits, budget and timing
Planning a renovation in Pickering
Building permits are issued by the City of Pickering. Properties near the lake or watercourses may also need conservation authority approval for exterior or site work.
Cabinetry and tile lead times usually set the schedule for kitchens and bathrooms. Basement projects move faster when the layout is agreed early.
Requirements depend on the property and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your project before the scope is fixed.
