Services

Comprehensive construction and sustainable solutions

As Builders takes on residential and small commercial work across Toronto and the GTA. Every scope below is delivered in-house or through long-standing licensed trades we supervise directly.

General Construction & Project Management

One accountable team from first drawing to final walkthrough. We coordinate designers, engineers, trades and inspections, hold the schedule, and keep a single point of contact for every decision.

  • Permit drawings and City of Toronto approvals
  • Trade procurement and scheduling
  • On-site supervision and weekly written updates
  • Budget tracking with change orders in writing

Home Renovations & Additions

Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home gut renovations, rear additions and second-storey builds on Toronto's older housing stock — where structure, servicing and grade rarely match the original plans.

  • Kitchen and bathroom renovations
  • Rear and side additions
  • Second-storey additions and dormers
  • Basement lowering and secondary suites

Energy-Efficient Building

We build the envelope first: continuous insulation, air-sealing, thermal-broken details, right-sized HVAC and heat-recovery ventilation. Lower bills, quieter rooms, fewer callbacks.

  • Blower-door tested air sealing
  • Exterior continuous insulation assemblies
  • Heat pumps and HRV/ERV ventilation
  • Triple-glazed and high-performance windows

Solar & Renewable Integration

Solar designed into the build rather than bolted on later — roof structure, conduit routing, panel capacity and inverter locations planned before the roof closes in.

  • Rooftop PV array design and installation
  • Battery storage and backup circuits
  • EV charger rough-in and installation
  • Smart energy monitoring

Sustainable Retrofits

Upgrading existing buildings without tearing them down: insulation, mechanical replacements, window packages, and material choices with lower embodied carbon.

  • Attic, wall and basement insulation upgrades
  • Furnace-to-heat-pump conversions
  • Window and door replacement packages
  • Low-VOC and recycled-content finishes

Small Commercial & Fit-Outs

Retail, office and clinic build-outs across the GTA, sequenced around tenant deadlines and landlord requirements with after-hours work where needed.

  • Landlord and base-building coordination
  • Demising walls, mechanical and electrical
  • Accessibility and code compliance
  • Phased occupied-site work

In focus

Solar panel & renewable energy integration

Toronto gets roughly 1,200 kWh of usable solar yield per installed kilowatt each year — enough that a well-sized rooftop array covers most of a family home's electricity. The difference between a system that performs and one that disappoints is almost always the construction work underneath it: roof condition, structural capacity, shading, conduit routing and panel capacity. As Builders handles all of it as one scope, so nobody gets to blame the other trade.

Site assessment & yield modelling

We measure roof pitch, azimuth and shading from trees and neighbouring buildings, then model expected annual production before quoting a system size. If your roof won't earn its keep, we say so.

Roof & structural readiness

Panels last 25+ years, so the roof under them has to as well. We assess remaining shingle life, reinforce rafters where loading requires it, and coordinate any roof replacement so it happens once, not twice.

Watertight mounting

Flashed mounts landed on rafters, sealed penetrations, and wire management clipped off the roof surface. Our roofing warranty stays intact because we do both scopes.

Electrical & inverter work

Licensed ESA-permitted work: string or micro-inverters, DC/AC disconnects, panel upgrades where the service can't carry the load, and rapid-shutdown compliance.

Battery storage & backup

Optional battery storage with critical-load subpanels so the fridge, furnace and internet stay up during outages — increasingly worth it in Toronto's ice-storm season.

Net metering & incentives

We prepare and file the Toronto Hydro net-metering application, handle ESA inspection, and point you to current federal and provincial retrofit programs your scope qualifies for.

EV charging & load management

Level 2 charger rough-in during construction, plus load-management devices so an older 100-amp service can support a car and a heat pump.

Monitoring & maintenance

Panel-level monitoring set up on your phone at handoff, with annual inspection and cleaning available so production doesn't quietly drift down.
