Home renovations in Westboro
Westboro is a neighbourhood of narrow lots, close neighbours and high expectations. The work has to be precise, tidy and finished to a standard that holds up next to the new infill on the same street.
Renovating in Westboro
Most Westboro renovations are constrained by the lot before they are constrained by anything else. Material deliveries, site storage, dust control and neighbour relations all have to be planned, not improvised.
The original houses are small by modern standards, so the brief is usually about volume: opening the main floor, digging out or underpinning the basement, adding a second storey, or building straight back.
Finishes here are held to a high bar. Clients tend to have looked at every new build on the street, and they want work that reads as considered rather than expensive.
Housing stock
1920s–1950s war-time and post-war homes, plus modern infill
Permits & approvals
Narrow Westboro lots frequently trigger setback and lot-coverage limits, and some projects need a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment. We flag that risk at the first meeting, not after the drawings are done.
What we build here
The projects Westboro homeowners ask for most
01
Whole-home renovations
Taking a small post-war house back to the studs and rebuilding the plan around light, sightlines and storage.
02
Second-storey additions
Adding bedrooms and a primary suite upward when the lot won't allow building out.
03
Basement lowering and finishing
Gaining headroom in older basements, then finishing them as living space rather than storage.
04
Kitchens and bathrooms
Millwork built to the millimetre for rooms where every inch is already spoken for.
