I am looking to find a reliable contractor for a gut and renovation of the third floor residential space of a 3 storey brick commercial/retail building in downtown Toronto.
The building is 57 ft long and 22 ft wide. I will need someone to provide a solution for installing a beam and/or additional joists to support the roof with consideration for a roof top deck.
I have an interior desinger on the project who will provide the design options to be quoted.
The work will begin in August.
We will be going through the space on the evening of Monday June 11.
I am wondering approximatly how much it would cost to turn my attic into a very basic extra bedroom. I don't think I need a window and a nice ladder would be fine rather than a staircase. My house is in Toronto at Yonge and Eglinton. It was built in the 1940's and the floor area is about 1000 feet. There is enough space to stand up in the attic, I don't know if the beams need reinforcement or anything.
Thanks,
Tina

I would like to convert my approx. 700 sqft unfinished basement in to a rental unit with a bathroom with shower, small kitchen and two bedrooms, insulate perimeter walls to R24, have egress windows in the bedrooms, and install recessed lighting and interconnected smoke alarms throughout house.
The main floor will be converted to include two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a kitchen.
Current and proposed layout of basement and main floor included in photos.
I would like to turn my basement into an apartment.
It currently has 1 finished bedroom and bathroom and living space.
It needs:
-a kitchen - plumbing for sink exists (need cabinets, sink, faucet, exhaust, fridge, dishwasher, oven)
-a wall and door to divide/separate the apartment from the rest of my house
-laundry hookup
-drywall an existing doorway
-create a doorway
And possibly sound proofing the ceiling.
Budget - $10k inclusive
The house is approx. 80 years old. There are several cracks in the floor due to the water shelf (as stated by inspector). The basement is divided into three rooms, the greater of the three having the w/d, furnace, etc. There are three newer windows. It would be preferable if one wall could be removed (at least partially) to provide a bedroom area. The third room would remain storage. Main concern is the floor condition and the height of the room (currently 6'7'' in main room, 6'5'' in planned sleeping area) which we would like to maximize. The walls are crumbling: one side is stucco, the other mortar. It does not appear if any renovations have been done to the basement.
Ideally we would like a main room, a sleeping area and a bathroom (sink, shower, toilet).
35 year old backsplit. Split level apartment, separate entrance, three exterior windows, kitchen (old) finished and bathroom plumbed. Needs new furnace, ducts moved and the rest finished. Could be a two bedroom. Square footage roughly 1,000 sq/ft. We need someone experienced with building basement apartments, drawing and filing plans and permits. We need everything legal and to code. Zoning by-law permits a basement apartment in our area. At Downsview. Facelift the kitchen (paint cupboard, update handles) and put new appliances, floors and counter tops. Need to upgrade electrical. Also need to re-locate laundry and finish family room to compensate for lost space given to apartment.
We are living in Leslieville, Toronto and looking for a contractor with strong references and fair pricing, to renovate our basement in to an apartment. The space features a separate entrance and requires insulation/drywall, installation of a kitchenette and refinishing of a bathroom. We are also looking to minimize some of the furnace venting and installing proper fire and sound separation for the unit. The basement has been underpinned and is approx 6 feet high ceilings. Plenty of parking and easy access to the unit will help make this a fairly hassle free job.
1) Need small kitchen installed in basement
2) Need flooring done in one section of basement
3) Relocate existing laundry in basement to coldroom in basement
4) Install door between 1st and basement floor
5) Add screen/sliding door to bedroom area
6) Remove existing cabinets in bedroom area
7) Replace back and front doors with new doors
Looking to redo the basement bathroom and laundry room together.
Currently, there is plumbing for a sink, shower, toilet and laundry pair all within a cold, concrete room. I want:

- self level the floor in the bathroom and main rec area (total less than 400 sqft)
- replumb laundry unit to make more space for bathroom fixtures
- frame walls, insulate exterior (batt insulation only), install drywall, tape and mud.
- frame shower stall and tile shower
- replace toilet
- replace laundry sink with vanity
- tile floors
Basement Ceiling Reconstruction, HVAC ducts and utility lines rerouting.
Hi I am looking for professional advice on how to proceed with a project.
At first I would like to know:
- what is the most cost efficient way to proceed with project
- approximate cost of a project.
-cost of design. Design to have drawings specifications etc.
-some sketch of how to build it.
Second step is to order the design if approximate cost in my budget.
Third step to find who can do the work.
Project.
Basement has number of low points that I want to get rid of. Joists spanning the basement are resting on top of the beams. These beams are the low points of the basement. I am thinking of having hidden beam built with joists but-fitted against the beam with hangers. That new beam would be sitting higher with the tops face of the beam flush with top face of the joists. Once beam is up, it creates a problem of utility duct routing. The idea is to move low-laying utilities ducts higher up. I made a drawing of current basement layout. Distance between walls are accurate. Locations of joists and utility ducts are approximate.
-I thought about few options of hvac duct rerouting.
-Have ducts go through holes in beams and joists
- re – route HVAC ducts to the attic above ground floor and come down next to the wall.
-change orientation of joists and reroute HVAC ducts by the outside wall.
I am attaching drawing of basement plus photo of beam as it looks now, and a picture of a new beam that I want to have. Info about the house. House is built around 1950-s. Location etobicoke. Basement is built from cinder blocks 8” wide. Joists are 2”x10” (Height 9.5”), beams are 9.5” high. That basement ceiling is load bearing and modifying it would require some temporary reinforcement.
From your experience please tell if it is possible to do that beam moving exercise. If it possible, then what is the best way to do that, and how much can it approximately cost?
Hello, we are finishing up our basement apartment and need some help with some final installations and some caulking around windows and trim. We also need some trim installed and painted.
Do you charge by the hour? If so, how much?
I think it is about 6 hours work.
Thank you,
Ian.

We are looking for someone to convert our garage into living space. This would include dealing with the city of Toronto for a minor variance, building permits etc. Currently our garage does not meet building code, and the proposed living space is a solution. Our primary goal is to find someone who will take care of everything, providing peace of mind that we don't have to worry about anything.
Basement crawl space needs to be excavated. The property is in Lawrence Ave and Leslie Street area.
The house has a walk out basement with truck enterance from Lawrence Avenue to the back yard.
There is a portion of the basement that needs to be excavated. The rest of the basement is already excavated.
The house we just bought is about 75-year old. Right now we are converting the house into a legal duplex: Main+basement is one unit and upper floor is the 2nd unit. Contractor must do the job according to the city regulation for duplex instead of single family home i.e. thickness of drywall and door, smoke detector and CO detectors, etc.
So far new concrete is already poured and electrical wiring is done. Wood studs have been set up along the walls.
What needs to be finished: Drywall, Ceiling with spot lights, Ceramic floor, A new 4-pc bathroom inclu. plumbing; Partition wall; Put new window and block an old one; Change doors; No electrican needed, owner has his own electrician to work with.
New basement floor, need the framing completed to complete electrical and plumbing. After that will finish celing per Toronto code with Z channels and then dry wall the whole thing. Need done soonish. Is 500 Square feet with easy location to load drywall through large window covered by board.
Thx
Jon
