Transform your historic East York property with our premium interior and exterior renovation services.
We handle all municipal permits and zoning requirements specific to East York and the City of Toronto. This ensures your renovation is legally sound, safe, and avoids costly project delays or mid-construction fines.
We select exterior finishes specifically tested for Ontario's extreme weather fluctuations. From high-grade insulation to UV-resistant sidings, your home will stay comfortable and protected regardless of the season.
Our designers specialize in reconfiguring traditional East York layouts to create open-concept living. We find hidden opportunities to add storage and improve flow without needing a massive footprint expansion.
We start with a site visit to assess your East York property's specific conditions, including lot setbacks, soil drainage, and structural integrity. This allows us to provide a realistic quote that accounts for the unique challenges of your specific street and home style.
Our designers work with you to choose materials and layouts that match your vision and budget. We provide 3D renderings for interior changes so you can visualize the result, and we select exterior finishes that will stand up to the local Toronto climate while looking beautiful.
We handle all the paperwork with the Toronto Building Department, including zoning variances if necessary. By securing permits early and coordinating material deliveries, we prevent common pitfalls like mid-project stop-work orders or supply chain delays that could stall your renovation.
Our skilled craftsmen execute the project with a focus on quality and cleanliness. We assign a dedicated site supervisor to ensure that every interior detail and exterior finish meets our high standards of workmanship, keeping you updated with regular progress reports until the final handover.
In most cases, yes, if you are changing the structural layout, upgrading plumbing, or expanding your electrical system. The City of Toronto requires building permits for structural changes like removing load-bearing walls or finishing a basement. We manage the entire application process, ensuring all plans meet the latest safety standards before a single hammer is swung.
A comprehensive 'inside and out' renovation usually spans between 4 to 8 months depending on the scope and weather conditions for exterior work. Interior transformations like kitchens can take 6-10 weeks, while full exterior facelifts might take 4-6 weeks. We provide a detailed project schedule during our planning phase so you can prepare for the transition and manage your timeline effectively.
Absolutely, this is one of our specialties. We can update your home with modern amenities like radiant floor heating and open-concept kitchens while maintaining traditional elements like original brickwork or trim styles. This 'transitional' design approach is very popular in East York, allowing homeowners to enjoy modern luxury without losing the historic soul of their neighborhood.
Common challenges include aging cast-iron plumbing, clay tile sewage pipes, and knob-and-tube wiring often found in older East York properties. Additionally, narrow lots can make machinery access difficult for exterior work. Our team has extensive experience solving these specific issues, using specialized equipment and modern techniques to upgrade your home's core systems safely and efficiently.

Learn MoreBuilt By Pros Inc. transformed our dated 1940s bungalow into a stunning modern home over a 5-month period. They handled both our full kitchen remodel and a complete exterior re-siding with dark gray HardiePlank. Ricardo's team was incredibly respectful of our close neighbors, and Suzanne's design for our built-in pantry saved us so much space. The quality of the finish work on our new oak staircase is absolutely world-class.
We hired the team for a complex 'inside and out' renovation that included a basement waterproofing project and a new master ensuite. They navigated the tricky East York permitting process for our basement walk-out flawlessly. The project was completed within two weeks of the original estimate, which is rare in this industry. The custom tile work in the bathroom is the highlight of the house, and their attention to the structural footings for our new porch was very impressive.
From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, Built By Pros was professional and transparent. They replaced all the windows in our home with high-efficiency models and completely opened up our main floor by removing a load-bearing wall. The new beam installation was handled with precision and passed inspection without a single issue. Our home is now noticeably warmer in the winter, and the open-concept layout has changed how our family interacts every day.
