Home renovations in Sandy Hill

Grand old houses, many converted to apartments, most carrying a century of alterations. Sandy Hill work is equal parts restoration and problem solving.

Renovating in Sandy Hill

A large share of Sandy Hill housing has been divided into units at some point. Unwinding those conversions — or upgrading them properly — is a substantial part of what we do here.

Fire separation, sound attenuation, egress and mechanical separation between units are code items that get ignored in amateur conversions. We rebuild them correctly, which is also what makes the space livable.

Heritage character is significant on many Sandy Hill streets, and the exterior work is scrutinised accordingly.

Housing stock

Victorian and Edwardian detached homes, converted multi-units, student rentals

Permits & approvals

Much of Sandy Hill sits within heritage overlays, and unit work triggers Ontario Building Code requirements for separation and egress. Both are handled as part of the permit package.
