Planned around the homes in Whitby
Whitby combines a historic downtown, the village of Brooklin and large family neighbourhoods. We plan kitchens, bathrooms, basements and full updates around the age and character of each home.
Downtown Whitby and Port Whitby have older homes with period detail. Rolling Acres, Pringle Creek and Williamsburg are largely 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, and Brooklin has an older village core surrounded by newer communities.

Local considerations
What to plan for in Whitby
Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we check for early in Whitby.
Heritage areas
Parts of downtown Whitby and Brooklin have heritage character, which can affect exterior changes.
Conservation lands
Properties near creeks or the lake may need Central Lake Ontario Conservation approval for exterior work.
Older systems
Older homes may need electrical, plumbing or insulation upgrades once walls are opened.
Living through the work
We sequence rooms so the kitchen or main bathroom is out of use for as short a time as possible.
Permits, budget and timing
Planning a renovation in Whitby
Building permits are issued by the Town of Whitby. Exterior work in heritage areas or near watercourses can need additional approval.
Selections and cabinetry lead times usually set the start date. Heritage or conservation approvals add time for exterior projects.
Requirements depend on the property and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your project before the scope is fixed.
