Where we build · Ajax, Durham Region

Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Ajax

Ajax was built in waves: wartime and 1950s houses near the lake and the old town, 1970s and 1980s subdivisions through the middle, and newer stock north of Taunton. The older houses take second storeys and whole-home renovations; the subdivision houses take rear additions that give a small plan a real kitchen.

Ajax in detail

Ajax, on the ground.

Second storeys on 1950s bungalows, rear additions on 1980s houses, whole-home renovations and legal second units with underpinning are the Ajax jobs. Custom homes come up on the lakefront and on older lots where the house has run its course.

The Town of Ajax issues the building permit. Duffins Creek and the waterfront put some lots inside the conservation authority's regulated area. [Kam confirms typical Ajax permit timing.]
