General Contracting · Holland Landing, East Gwillimbury
General contractor in Holland Landing for full home renovations, additions and yard projects, with one written scope and every trade scheduled by one contractor. Licensed, WSIB insured and in business for more than 15 years.
What’s included
A general contractor in Holland Landing is usually reworking a bungalow or a side- or back-split. In a bungalow, opening the plan or adding space comes down to which walls carry the roof; in a split, the levels and stairs set the limits. We take the whole job under one written scope, inside and out.
Several rooms renewed as one project, so the floors, trim and finishes agree from room to room.
A bigger house that connects to your current structure and services, if the lot allows.
The yard as one plan instead of one project at a time.
The part that isn’t carpentry: sequence, trades and approvals.
Why Sonce
Most renovators stop at the back door and most landscapers start there. We plan and build on both sides of it.
Sonce Homes brings more than 15 years in business to work inside the home and out in the yard.
Sonce Homes is licensed and WSIB insured. Ask us about the credentials relevant to your project.

Oak, pale stone, navy
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
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.

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

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.

Good to know
Holland Landing’s houses, as East Gwillimbury’s urban design guidelines describe them, are mainly bungalows and side- or back-splits from the post-war years to the late 1990s. A bungalow, with everything on one floor, can extend into the back yard and keep all its living space on that floor. A side-split or back-split already has several floor levels, so the first design question is which one the addition continues, and where the stairs between them land. On a lot near the river, a wetland or a steep slope, a second approval may follow the Town’s permit: in a regulated area, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority’s permission covers increasing the size of a building.
Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority: do I need a permit? ↗One contractor matters most when the rooms affect each other. A kitchen, the patio door beside it and the deck outside are one decision across three trades. A basement apartment touches the plumbing, the electrical panel and the fire separation from the house above. One scope covers all of it, and you hear from us at each stage. A new building in the yard can be part of that scope: one larger than 10 m² (108 sq ft) that the Town’s exempt list does not name needs its own building permit, so it is in the plan from the start.
