Renovation services in Georgina

Homes we work on in Georgina

Georgina has a character of its own. Many older lakeside cottages have been converted into year-round homes over the years, often with additions and updates done in stages. Keswick has larger family subdivisions, while Sutton and Jackson's Point have older village homes close to the water.

Homes near the lake can see more humidity, and converted cottages sometimes have low basements, crawlspaces or older plumbing. We take that into account when we plan a bathroom, kitchen or basement, and we'll tell you honestly if something needs attention before finishes go in.

Permits and second units in Georgina

The Town of Georgina permits additional residential units, including basement units, subject to zoning and the Building Code. The Town's building division publishes an additional residential unit guide and a permit checklist, and an accessory apartment registration application is part of the process.

We review what your project needs and handle permits when they're needed. Plumbing and electrical work is completed by our licensed partner contractors.
