Global Construction Homes renovates houses across the old City of Toronto — from century semis in Riverdale and the Annex to post-war bungalows in the inner suburbs. Toronto's housing stock is the oldest and most varied in the GTA, which means almost every renovation here begins with finding out what previous owners did and whether it was done properly.

Toronto homes run from 1890s brick semis with balloon framing and knob-and-tube remnants, through 1920s detached homes on 25-foot lots, to 1950s bungalows further out. Basements are frequently shallow, floors are rarely level, and joists are often undersized by modern standards. We survey structure, panel capacity and drain material before quoting rather than after demolition.
Narrow lots, laneway access and shared driveways mean material staging and dust control matter more here than anywhere else in the region. We plan delivery windows and street occupation before the first truck arrives.
Permits & approvals — Toronto Building
Toronto permits second suites as-of-right in most residential zones under Bill 23, but restricts new entrances on the front façade that make a house read as a duplex — side and rear entrances are usually the workable route. Heritage Conservation Districts and ravine protection add review steps that we check before design.
