Renovation in Oshawa
Oshawa's older neighbourhoods grew up around the auto industry, and a lot of the housing stock reflects solid, no-nonsense postwar construction. Further north, newer subdivisions have filled in over the last two decades. We see plenty of both, and each has its own set of common issues.
Solid postwar construction
Oshawa's older homes are generally well-built, but original mechanical systems and finishes are due for updates in most of them now.
Newer north-end growth
More recent subdivisions with different, sometimes production-grade, considerations.
Investment property renovations
Oshawa has a fair number of rental and multi-unit conversions, and we handle these with proper attention to code.
Rental conversions done without proper fire separation
Similar to what we see in Brampton, Oshawa has a fair number of basement or multi-unit conversions done without the fire separation and egress requirements that make a suite legal and safe.
We build rental conversions to Ontario Building Code requirements
When we convert a basement or add a secondary unit in Oshawa, fire separation, egress, and electrical get built to the actual code requirement for a legal unit. It costs more than a shortcut version, and it means the space is genuinely safe to rent.
