Demolition contractor in Pickering

South Pickering, Bay Ridges and the streets around Frenchman's Bay, is 1960s and 1970s housing on lots big enough that tear-downs and big additions are common. North of the 401 the subdivisions are newer, and the work is basements, kitchens and garages. Seaton, the new community in the north, adds brand new houses with unfinished basements.

Pickering in detail

Pickering, on the ground.

Pickering is close to the 401, which keeps bin logistics simple: swaps are quick and a same-day second bin is realistic on a tear-down. Waterfront lots near the bay bring flood-plain rules that can affect what the replacement house can be, which affects whether the tear-down happens at all.

The City of Pickering issues building and demolition permits; Durham Region is the upper tier. [Kam confirms Pickering timing and yard distance.]

Questions from Pickering

Yes. Lots near the water can fall under conservation authority regulation, which affects the replacement house more than the demolition. Sort that with your designer before we file the permit.
