Changed the interior of my house to look brand new, 10/10.

It's like walking into a brand new home.

Ajax has a mix of lakeshore neighbourhoods, post-war houses, newer subdivisions, townhouses, detached family homes, and commuter-oriented streets tied to Durham Region growth. Renovation demand often centres on basements, legal-suite review, additions, kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor living, and more usable family space. The right plan for Ajax depends on whether the home is an older south-end property, a newer north Ajax subdivision, a townhouse, or a detached family home needing more room.

Ajax is outside Toronto, so Toronto-specific fourplex, laneway-suite, and garden-suite rules should not be used. Any suite, addition, custom home, structural change, or major renovation needs Ajax and Durham-area zoning, permit, grading, servicing, conservation, parking, and building-code review. Lower-level living space needs special attention to entrances, ceiling height, fire separation, services, and how the home sits on the lot.

Ajax projects often balance affordability, family growth, commuter schedules, and long-term durability. The work may be practical, but it still needs careful planning so the basement, kitchen, addition, or outdoor space feels connected to the whole home. Site access, drainage, lake-effect exposure near the waterfront, and subdivision grading can all affect the build.

For Ajax homeowners, Andare's design team can help decide where space should be added, where the existing layout can be improved, and how finishes, storage, lighting, and lower-level planning should work before the project moves to site.

Andare supports Ajax homeowners from the lakeshore and south Ajax to central neighbourhoods, north Ajax subdivisions, Pickering Village-area homes, and nearby Durham communities, with the scope matched to the house and lot. Andare keeps coach house conversions tied to the home in front of us, not a generic city-wide template.
