Built for Brampton homes.

Brampton is subdivision housing at scale: 1960s and 70s planned Bramalea, 1980s and 90s Heart Lake and Fletcher's, and 2000s-onward Springdale, Castlemore and Mount Pleasant. Basement apartments are a bigger part of the market here than almost anywhere in the GTA, and the city runs a formal two-unit dwelling registration program that every legal suite must pass through.

Brampton’s second-unit specialists

No GTA city leans on basement apartments the way Brampton does, and no renovation type is more regulated here. Brampton runs a formal two-unit dwelling registration program: a legal suite needs a building permit, code-compliant construction and registration with the city. YAREX builds new suites to that standard and legalizes existing ones, alongside kitchens, bathrooms, basement finishing and full-home renovations. Licensed, insured, free estimates.

From Bramalea to Mount Pleasant

Brampton’s housing arrives in clear generations, and each renovates differently. Bramalea’s 1960s and 70s planned sections hold bungalows and split-levels whose kitchens and bathrooms are on their second or third cycle and whose side-split layouts convert well to two units. Heart Lake and Fletcher’s Meadow carry the 1980s and 90s two-storey stock, now at full first-renovation age. Springdale, Castlemore and Mount Pleasant are newer, with big footprints, tall basements and owners finishing them for family space or rental income. The newer basements are the easy wins: full ceiling height means no underpinning, so a legal suite usually comes down to a separate entrance, fire separation, egress and the registration paperwork. In Castlemore’s larger homes we also do high-spec kitchen and millwork projects.

Emergency response up the 410

Finished basements make water damage expensive, and Brampton has a lot of finished basements. YAREX handles emergency restoration for burst pipes, sewer backups, storm flooding, mould and fire damage. From our base at the 427 and 401, the 410 corridor puts most of Brampton within 25 to 35 minutes. We extract, dry, strip and rebuild under one contract, so a flooded suite comes back as a finished, registered unit. Call 343-947-2298.

What renovations cost

Questions, answered.

How do I make my Brampton basement apartment legal?

Brampton requires two-unit dwellings to be registered with the city. That means a building permit, construction that meets Ontario Building Code for ceiling height, egress, fire separation and smoke alarms, zoning compliance including parking, and then final registration. YAREX builds to that checklist and handles the permit and registration process for you.

What happens if my basement suite is not registered?

Unregistered suites are a live enforcement issue in Brampton, and an illegal unit can mean orders to comply, insurance problems and trouble at resale. Bringing an existing suite up to code, often a matter of egress windows, fire separation and electrical, is a common YAREX project.

How much does a legal second unit cost in Brampton?

Most Brampton basements from the 1980s onward have full ceiling height, so conversions usually avoid underpinning. Typical scopes cover a separate side entrance, kitchen, bathroom, fire-rated assemblies and electrical, which generally lands in the tens of thousands depending on the entrance and finishes. The written estimate is free and itemized.

How fast can YAREX get to Brampton?

From our Etobicoke base near the 427 and 401, the 410 puts most of Brampton 25 to 35 minutes away, and southern areas near Steeles sooner. Every emergency call is answered.
