Homes we work on in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill has a wide range of homes: older houses near the Mill Pond and the original village core, large detached homes in neighbourhoods such as Bayview Hill, Westbrook and Jefferson, townhouses and semis in newer pockets, and properties on bigger lots up on the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Many families here are planning for multiple generations under one roof, so we often talk through a basement layout that could become an in-law space or an additional residential unit later, even when the first step is a simpler basement finish.

Permits and second units in Richmond Hill
