Underpinning & Structural

Plenty of older Toronto-area basements have six feet of headroom and a hundred years of settling. Underpinning digs the floor down and extends the foundation beneath it, turning a crouch-height cellar into a full-height storey — the single most transformative structural project a small house can take on.

This is heavy, engineered work: drawings, permits and inspections are mandatory, and sequencing matters enormously. The same care applies to bench footings, beam and post replacement, and the framing that shapes the finished space.
