Some framing and insulation already done around window and screen door, in the laundry area, and around the stairs.
Looking to either put 2 bedrooms and a bathroom up in attic. Reinforcement of floors would be needed. Or add on an area to the back of the house. And reconfigure a kitchen.

Main foundation of house built in 1886 but house is recently renovated with various additions over the past 50 years. Weatherstripping on some of the exterior windows is deteriorating, caulking is showing mould, back window of sunroom has an exterior leak in its frame. All the frames of the windows at the back need repainting as does the wooden siding back there. Two of the 6 windows have lost their vapour seals. The chimney was reconstructed some time ago and bits of concrete are falling off of it. The vinyl siding is in good condition but needs cleaning at the top. Currently, the backyard water faucet is inoperable because the pipes to it burst two years ago. There is no ladder to get up to the eaves. One downspout is plugged.
We are looking for a licenced general contractor to complete various jobs on our home, including the removal of a load bearing wall, bathroom renos, kitchen Reno, adding a basement apartment, and other jobs.
If this is something you feel as though you are capable of handling and have the required experience to assist in gaining approval and required permits from the city, as well as the experience to remain on time and on budget, please contact us for more information, so we can set up a time to price the job during a free estimate.
Thank you.

Looking to turn my 370 sq ft detached garage into a music recording studio. (Oshawa)
Garage is already framed and insulated with heat and hydro, but we are looking to re-frame, re-insulate inside the existing room (to increase the sound absorption and make it more sound proof) however, the new framing/insulating cannot touch existing structure because will cause sound vibration to carry through the walls. Garage door is going to be completely immobilized in order to sound proof correctly. 16'1" x 23' with 10' ceilings. We can build as much as a foot inside in every direction if necessary.
Please give me an estimate cost to frame this structure. If you are able to carry the electrical outlets from the existing walls to the new walls i would love a quote on that as well. We are capable of insulating and dry walling ourselves but if there is a bundled price for everything i would be interested to know what it is.
Thank you.

There is an extension onto the back of my house that we purchased over 5 years ago and I have discovered some rotten/missing wood when I removed the original deck that was also rotten. I believe the deck was added on to help hide the poor workmanship of this "permitted" extension. There is rotten wood everywhere on one end of the extension that runs along the fence line with my neighbour. It looks to be missing wood on the underside of the extension about 2'x8' along the north wall is completely gone. We have also had issues with mice getting into the house through the rotten areas, and raccoons have lived under the extension as well. A lot of the insulation under neath has been damaged and some plastic sheeting has fallen on to the ground. Winter time it gets cold at the back of the house due to poor insulation. I have taken pictures as best I can, I am looking for the right person to do the job. My neighbour is aware of the damage to the house and the fence along the north wall of the extension can be removed for better access. Any questions please email me and we can discuss further, or arrange a day to come take a look.
