North Yor
North York's Basement Legalization Specialists
For North York homeowners, transforming your basement into a legal suite means navigating Toronto’s zoning bylaws and Ontario Building Code fire safety rules. Since 2018, we’ve helped over 60 North York families; our turnkey service handles everything: permit paperwork with Toronto officials, OBC-compliant fire separations, and moisture-proofing for the area’s clay-heavy soil. Stop risking fines or insurance voids; let local experts guarantee your basement passes final inspection.
Solving North York's Unique Basement Challenges
North York’s older homes—especially mid-century bungalows and wartime houses—often face three roadblocks: low ceilings under 6’5″, single-pane windows failing egress rules, and shared HVAC systems. We fix these permanently. For pre-1980s homes, we engineer ceiling lifts that do not compromise joist integrity. We install steel-lined egress wells meeting Toronto Conservation floodplain specs. Every suite gets dedicated electrical panels and HVAC zones – no more “shared air” rejections from North York inspectors. Plus, we source materials locally through North York Home Hardware to speed up projects.
