Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Oshawa
Oshawa has the oldest housing stock in Durham: century houses around the downtown, 1920s and 1930s streets north of it, wartime and 1950s houses through the middle, and newer subdivisions north of Taunton. The older houses take whole-home renovations and additions; the postwar houses take second storeys.

Custom homes come up on older lots where the house has run its course. Oshawa Creek and the waterfront put some lots inside the conservation authority's regulated area.
