What’s included

What general
contracting covers.

General contracting in East Gwillimbury means holding a project that crosses rooms, trades or the outside wall. For us that is full home renovations, with kitchens, bathrooms and basements done together and finishes matched; additions tied into the existing structure and services; and outdoor work from decks and patios to pavilions, interlock and fencing, under one scope.

  1. Full home renovation

    Taking several rooms on as one project keeps the floors, finishes and trim in step across them.

    • Kitchens, bathrooms and basements together
    • Flooring through the house
    • Layout changes
    • Trim and paint

  2. Additions and extensions

    More house where the lot allows it, tied into the structure and services you have.

    • Home additions
    • Home extensions
    • Tying new structure into old

  3. Outdoor transformation

    Your yard planned as a whole, rather than piece by piece.

    • Decks, patios and interlocking
    • Pergolas and pavilions
    • Porches
    • Fences and gates

  4. Coordination

    Approvals, trades and sequencing, which sit outside the carpentry.

    • A written scope for the whole project
    • Scheduling the trades
    • Permits and inspections
    • One point of contact

Why Sonce

One contractor,
both sides of the door.

For most renovators the job ends at the back door; for most landscapers, that’s where it begins. We plan and build both.

Oak, pale stone, navy

An open main floor

A kitchen, dining space and living room connected by warm oak flooring.

Tall windows and a glazed door run the length of the back wall, so the island, the table and the sofa share the same daylight.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

A kitchen made for gathering

Cream cabinetry, a navy island and pale stone in a bright family kitchen.

Open oak shelves stand either side of the hood, and black-framed windows wrap the corner of the room.

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

Home additions in East Gwillimbury

An addition starts with what the lot allows: the zoning by-law fixes how close it can come to each lot line, how tall it can be and how much of the lot buildings may cover. From the first drawing it is a Town of East Gwillimbury permit job, since that permit is the approval to construct or alter a building and put in plumbing. Matching floor levels, carrying loads where walls open and extending heating, plumbing and wiring all go on the drawings.

What a general contractor in East Gwillimbury coordinates

The written scope is what every trade works from, so a gap in it becomes a gap on site. From it we schedule structure and rough-ins before finishes, book the Town's inspections and see that the electrician notifies the ESA. On some lots two agencies join the Town: the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority where the property is environmentally sensitive, and the Ministry of Transportation near a highway corridor. We check at the start, because a second review moves the start date.

Home renovation costs in East Gwillimbury, room by room

The number of rooms and trades sets most of the cost of a whole-home job, and structural changes and additions push it up. So does the age of the house: much of the housing around Sharon dates from the mid to late 1980s, and Mount Albert's south and east quadrants were built from the 1970s, with a north west subdivision started in 1995. Opened walls in houses that age can need work before the finishes, priced first.
