Service · General contractor or specialty subcontractor
Heritage building restoration and damage restoration across Toronto and the GTA. Designated heritage buildings under the Ontario Heritage Act. Historic facades, lobbies, plaster work and decorative features. Water, fire and smoke damage remediation. Hire us as the GC or as a specialty trade.
Restoration covers two distinct kinds of work that share one common thread: the building was here before the project, and it has to look like it was when we leave. The first kind is heritage restoration — designated properties under the Ontario Heritage Act (Section 27 listed, Section 29 designated, or located in a Heritage Conservation District). This work happens with conservation architects, often under Toronto Heritage Preservation Services review, with materials and methods that match what was there 80 to 150 years ago.
The second kind is damage restoration. Water, fire, smoke, mold remediation. Fast response, IICRC-aligned drying and content recovery, structural repair, finishes restoration. Insurance work usually, with documentation that satisfies the adjuster and a hand-back that satisfies the building owner. Both kinds need a contractor who respects the building. That's what we are.
Two parallel tracks — slow and careful, or fast and careful.
Restoration work happens in two ways. We do both.
We run the whole restoration project — heritage assessment, conservation architect coordination, permitting, all trades, documentation, close-out. Best when the project is restoration-led and the owner wants one accountable contractor through the whole process.
Often a heritage restoration is part of a larger renovation run by another GC. We come in as the trade subcontractor for the heritage portion — masonry restoration, plaster work, facade conservation — under the GC's contract. Same crew, same conservation architect partnerships, just a different contractual position.
