    Underpinning

    Toronto Home Addition

    Completed in 2016, this project was a full interior renovation, coupled with an extension to the rear of the home and an addition over the entire main floor/new extension. Before any of the extending/adding was completed BVM Contracting completed underpinning in the basement to add approximately 3 feet of ceiling height to the basement. BVM Contracting specializes in underpinning for home addition and extension projects and was able to complete this work in under 3 weeks. From then on, the excavation for the extension was completed,foundation-level footings were poured to increase the size of the basement and main floor. Blockwork was completed after this step for the new extension, as well as around the existing main floor to increase the size of the main floor ceiling height by one foot.

    Once the block work was completed the framing was completed for the extension, second storey, and interior walls. This is when the client can finally see the project coming together. 

    Once the framing was completed and roof shingles installed, the rough electrical/plumbing/mechanical work was completed in order to allow the new areas of the home. During these types of home renovations the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical is always upgraded. Once all of these systems are roughed in, the insulation and drywall can commence. Concurrently with the insulation/drywall, the exterior finish was installed. 

    The client decided to also complete the basement renovations after the main and second floor renovations. This was also completed by BVM Contracting at a later date.

    Foundation Replacement For Home Addition

    Foundation Replacement

    Home Extension and Addition

    BVM Contracting completed a home addition project in the East York area of Toronto. As the General Contractor on the project, we were tasked with completing the underpinning of the foundation.

    What we found was one of the foundation walls was deteriorating to the point of collapse and could not support the load of a second storey addition. To allow for the second storey addition to still be built BVM Contracting completed a full foundation repair. This is essentially creating an entirely new wall. It was completed in the same way underpinning is completed, but the sections of the main floor system had to be supported so that the new foundation could be formed and set. This was a unique problem that BVM Contracting was able to solve and allowed the project to progress!

    Meet Scott, Jeannine, and Ciara

    Making the decision to renovate your home is one of the most challenging and stressful decisions anyone can make. Do we renovate? Or… Do we sell? Decisions of this magnitude cannot be taken lightly to say the least, and as we learned this was one of many decisions to be made along the way. Deciding to renovate in hindsight was fairly simple for our family. With an existing home in an area we love, the decision was made for us – now came the hard part. What do we do? How do we do it? Where do we begin? I have a saying; sometimes you simply don’t know what you don’t know! This is why choosing a general contractor or home builder that you trust becomes the critical decision in the process.

    A simple walk in our neighborhood some 4 years ago proved to be the turning point in this renovation journey. As is the case in most neighborhoods, renovations are becoming more and more the norm. One night I came across a house clearly under renovation, and we figured an email to the company on the front of this demolished house couldn’t hurt. This is where our renovation story starts. This is when we met Vince, Colleen and BVM Contracting. A few months later after meeting Vince we are “walking” the house under renovation with Vince he showed us the various steps in the process. From our first interaction we knew this was our contractor. Of course we were diligent and met with other companies, but our decision was a very easy one.

    Fast forward a year and a half contracts are being signed, and decisions are being made.

    BVM took us through the entire process – from the design, demolition and the creation of our dream home. Vince and his team, industry contacts and the subsequent retail establishments recommended to us were all spectacular, professional, and respectful of our wants and needs for our home. Vince walked us through the process, explained what was happening and what the next steps were. He answered our many, many questions, and gave us guidance along the way. You hear many stories about renovations being an awful experience, but you rarely hear stories about renovations being a good experience. This was certainly a good experience. We asked our 8 year old daughter what she thought about the renovation, and her answer was “Vince was nice, and he did a good job. I love my bedroom”. Vince and his team became part of our daily lives, and to be honest we’ll miss having them around.

    We quite simply could not have asked for a more well executed, on time, on budget renovation. I am tremendously thankful that we reached out to Vince and Colleen some 4 years ago. People ask us all the time if we would recommend Vince – the answer of course is always a resounding yes.
