Renovation Contractors Who Know Ajax Homes

Ajax began as a wartime town built around the Defence Industries Limited munitions plant in the 1940s, and you can still read that history in its streets: wartime frame homes in central Ajax, the 1950s brick homes of Memorial Village and Lake Vista, and the 1960s and 1970s subdivisions of Southwood, Clover Ridge and Duffins Bay. The 1980s were the busiest building decade of all, and the north end, from Nottingham to Audley and Salem Heights, filled in through the 2000s.

That spread of ages shapes every project. Older homes need wiring, plumbing and insulation brought up to date, and their compact layouts benefit from opened-up main floors and additions. Homes from the 1980s and 1990s are due for new kitchens, bathrooms and finished basements. And with nearly half of Ajax homes having four or more bedrooms and households larger than the Ontario average, space and storage are always on the list.

Ajax is also one of the easiest places in the GTA to add a unit. Town Council has approved up to four units on most lots with a detached house, semi or townhouse, and additional dwelling units are approved through a building permit. We design and build basement and additional units to the Ontario Building Code and manage Town of Ajax permits from drawings to final inspection.

Renovating in Ajax: What Makes It Different

Ajax renovations come with heritage streets, creek valleys and a town that actively encourages additional units. Here is how our local experience keeps your project on track.

Town of Ajax Permits

We prepare drawings and manage Ajax building permits for finished basements, additions, decks, below-grade entrances and additional dwelling units.

Additional Dwelling Units

Ajax allows up to four units on most lots with a detached house, semi or townhouse. We design basement and additional units with proper egress, fire separation and ceiling height.

Pickering Village Heritage District

Interior work is generally exempt, but new windows, doors or cladding on heritage buildings in the Pickering Village district need a heritage permit. We check before work starts.

Creek Valleys & the Lakeshore

Lots near Duffins Creek, Carruthers Creek or the waterfront may need a TRCA or CLOCA permit for additions and decks. We confirm what applies to your property.

Wartime & 1950s Homes

Midtown, Memorial Village and Lake Vista homes get updated wiring, plumbing and insulation, plus additions and open layouts that suit modern families.

1980s to 2000s Home Updates

Westney Heights, Applecroft, Nottingham and Audley homes get the kitchens, bathrooms and finished basements they are now due for.

Ajax Renovation FAQs

Do you build legal basement apartments in Ajax?
Yes. Ajax approves additional dwelling units through a building permit, and Town Council has approved up to four units on most lots with a detached house, semi or townhouse. We design to the Ontario Building Code, including egress, fire separation and ceiling height, and manage the permit for you.
Do I need a permit for a basement or deck in Ajax?
Generally, yes. The Town of Ajax requires building permits for finished basements, additional dwelling units, below-grade entrances, additions, decks and porches. Electrical work is inspected separately by the Electrical Safety Authority. We handle the applications.
Can you renovate a home in the Pickering Village heritage district?
Yes. Interior work is generally exempt, but changes such as new windows, doors or cladding on heritage buildings need a heritage permit from the Town. We confirm what your project needs before it starts.
Do I need a conservation authority permit in Ajax?
Only if your property is in a regulated area, such as near Duffins Creek, Carruthers Creek, the Lake Ontario shoreline or a floodplain. Depending on the location, that is TRCA or CLOCA. We check before the design is finalised.
Which Ajax neighbourhoods do you serve?
All of them, including Pickering Village, Midtown, Memorial Village, Lake Vista, Southwood, Clover Ridge, Duffins Bay, Westney Heights, Applecroft, Riverside, Nottingham, Salem Heights and Audley.
