Where we work

Summerhill renovations and additions.

Summerhill runs on a Victorian and Edwardian housing stock that rewards careful structural work. Most projects here open up narrow semis and rows without losing the streetscape the neighbourhood is known for. Below is what to expect from a Summerhill project: the lot character, the typical scopes, and the permit context around the Vale of Avoca ravine.

Summerhill at a glance

What to expect in Summerhill.

Lot character

Narrow Victorian and Edwardian lots, typical 20-foot to 30-foot frontages, semis and rows on the streets between Yonge and Mount Pleasant, ravine adjacency along the Vale of Avoca.

Typical projects

Whole-home renovations of Victorian semis, rear and third-storey additions, kitchen and lower-level reorganizations, underpinning for ceiling height.

Permit and zoning

City of Toronto by-laws apply, with ravine and natural feature protection near the Vale of Avoca. Shared walls make party wall agreements common, and narrow lots often route through the Committee of Adjustment. Leman handles the full process.
