Project Details
A closer look at home renovations
Chapter 01
Understanding home renovations
Design-build, without the handoff problem
Most homeowners do not want to manage a designer, architect, permit process, trades, suppliers, and site schedule separately. Andare brings the work under one coordinated design-build process, so the plan and the build stay connected from the first conversation to final handover.
That matters when the scope is complex. A kitchen renovation can touch plumbing, electrical, structure, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and finishes. A custom home or multiplex can involve zoning, permits, new services, framing, envelope details, and full interior completion. The earlier those pieces are coordinated, the fewer surprises show up on site.
Where a project requires outside drawings, engineering, surveys, or permit consultants, Andare coordinates with those professionals so the design intent, technical requirements, and construction sequence stay aligned.
What Andare builds
Andare Homes works across quality-focused residential projects across the GTA:
- Home additions and second-storey additions
- Kitchen, bathroom, basement, and whole-home renovations
- Custom homes and custom infill homes
- Garden suites, laneway homes, coach houses, and ADUs
- Duplex, triplex, fourplex, and multiplex conversions
- Legal basement apartments and income-property upgrades
- Outdoor living, landscaping, pool houses, decks, and rooftop terraces
Each project is treated as a design, construction, and lifestyle decision, not just a list of trades. The goal is a finished home that feels intentional, functions properly, and holds its value.
The in-house design team
Andare's design staff turns broad ideas into buildable decisions. On a whole property, that can mean testing room relationships, shaping a finish palette, choosing fixtures, planning cabinetry direction, and deciding how new work should relate to the older parts of the house.
The design team guides clients through the full design journey: space planning, layout decisions, material selections, fixtures, finishes, and the details that need to be resolved before trades begin.
This is especially valuable in Toronto, where older houses often need creative planning before they can support modern living. Narrow lots, aging services, additions over older foundations, and chopped-up interior layouts all need design thinking before the construction schedule starts.
Chapter 02
Planning, materials, and site decisions
Built for Toronto homes
the GTA homes are rarely generic. A renovation in a century home near the core is a different project from a custom infill on a wider suburban lot. A basement apartment needs a different lens than a full kitchen renovation or a rear addition.
Andare plans around those realities: access, permits, neighbours, existing structure, water management, mechanical routes, ceiling height, natural light, and how the finished home will actually be used day to day.

Process that lowers stress
The process is simple to understand, even when the work is complex:
- Consultation and project fit
- Design direction and scope planning
- Budget alignment and construction planning
- Permit and zoning coordination where required
- Build management and site communication
- Finish selections, walkthroughs, and handover
Clients repeatedly mention communication, professionalism, and a stress-free experience in their reviews. That is not decoration; it is what makes a major residential project livable.
