Custom home builder and renovation contractor in Pickering

Pickering runs from the lakefront streets of Bay Ridges and Rosebank, with 1960s bungalows on deep lots, through the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions north of the 401 to the new Seaton community and the rural hamlets beyond. The lakefront lots are custom home and second storey territory; the subdivisions take rear additions and whole-home renovations.

Pickering in detail

Custom homes on the older lakefront lots, second storeys on bungalows, and whole-home renovations on 1980s plans are the Pickering jobs. The Rouge and Duffins Creek put many lots inside the conservation authority's regulated area, and the waterfront brings its own setbacks.

The City of Pickering. Additions, second storeys and new houses all need a building permit with engineered drawings.

If it is inside the conservation authority's regulated area, yes. That review comes before the permit and sets what can be built and where.
