Built for Vaughan homes.
Most of Vaughan was built after 1985: large two-storey subdivision homes in Woodbridge, Maple and Vellore Village, executive stock in Kleinburg, and older ranch and custom homes in Thornhill. The 1990s houses are now 25 to 35 years old and reaching first full renovation age, with original kitchens, oak staircases and unfinished or builder-finished basements ready for real conversion.

Vaughan’s first renovation wave
Vaughan is young housing stock getting its first real renovation cycle. Woodbridge, Maple and Vellore Village filled in through the 1990s and 2000s with large brick two-storeys, and those houses are now 25 to 35 years old. Original kitchens, oak railings, four-piece builder bathrooms and unfinished basements are all due. YAREX handles that full cycle: kitchen and bathroom rebuilds, basement finishing, permitted secondary suites, custom carpentry and full-home renovations. Licensed, insured, free estimates.
Suites, subdivisions and Kleinburg
Basement work dominates our Vaughan calendar. The city permits secondary suites in most low-rise homes and requires both a building permit and registration of the unit, and the typical 1990s basement is a good candidate: full-height ceilings, large windows, and a layout that accepts a legal suite without underpinning, which keeps costs well below what the same project runs in Toronto’s older stock. In Thornhill, the stock is older and more varied, from 1960s ranches to custom rebuilds, and projects trend toward opening main floors. Kleinburg sits at the other end: estate lots and newer executive homes where the work is high-spec kitchens, millwork and whole-home refinishing. Across all of it, we manage permits through the City of Vaughan and build to Ontario Building Code.
Straight up the 427
Our base in central Etobicoke sits at the foot of Highway 427, which runs directly into Woodbridge. That is about a 20 minute drive, with Maple, Concord and Thornhill roughly 25 to 35 minutes via the 407. Our emergency crews handle burst pipes, flooding, sump failures, mould and fire damage, then carry the job from cleanup through rebuild under one contract. Call 343-947-2298.
