What energy-efficient options do you offer, and are there 2026 rebates available?
Every project can incorporate high-performance windows, upgraded insulation, heat pumps, smart thermostats, and solar-ready wiring as standard upgrade paths. These meet or exceed the current Ontario Building Code and can lower your hydro and gas bills by 20–40%. In 2026, the main rebate program is the Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP), which offers up to $12,000 for qualifying heat pump systems, up to $10,000 for solar panels with battery storage, up to $7,700 for attic insulation, $500 for heat pump water heaters, and $100 per window or door opening. A pre-retrofit EnerGuide assessment (subsidized via a $600 rebate) is required before work begins to qualify. Note: the previous Canada Greener Homes Grant closed in late 2025 and is no longer accepting applications. We also track Toronto-specific incentives such as the Eco Roof Grant and Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy. Our team flags every eligible item during material selection and handles rebate paperwork so you receive every dollar you qualify for.

Do you handle design and material selection?
Yes. Our design-build process includes guidance on layout, fixtures, and finishes tailored to your space and how you use it. We create detailed 3D renderings so you can visualize your bathroom before construction begins. Material selection happens at curated showrooms with our designers, and everything is documented in a comprehensive design portfolio.

How do you ensure the addition matches the existing home?
We focus on seamless integration: exterior harmony through matching materials and proportions, interior transitions with consistent flooring and millwork, structural integration that preserves architectural integrity, and coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Our design-build approach means design, engineering, and construction teams collaborate from the earliest stages.

How do you handle kitchen design and material selection?
Our design-build process covers everything from layout optimization to cabinet, countertop, and fixture selection. We create detailed 3D renderings so you can see your kitchen before construction starts. For materials, we guide you through curated showroom visits to select cabinetry (custom, semi-custom, or stock), countertops (quartz, granite, marble, quartzite), hardware, and appliance integration. Every selection is documented in your design portfolio.

What countertop options work best for condo kitchens?
Quartz is the most popular choice for condo kitchens — durable, heat-resistant, and low-maintenance. We also offer granite for natural stone appeal, marble for luxury aesthetics, quartzite for high durability with natural veining, and laminate for budget-conscious upgrades. Our designers help you select the right option based on your space, cooking habits, and lifestyle.
