Construction & Installation in Pickering, ON
Built by a builder.
New homes in Seaton often start out with an empty backyard, and the rural properties north of Highway 7 need structures that hold up on open ground. Our construction & installation in Pickering covers sheds, fences, pergolas, basement framing and built-ins. Pedro's 16 years in construction mean the footings, framing and layout are done properly the first time, with a written estimate before anything is ordered.
Building Out New Seaton Yards and Rural Lots
When a house is brand new, the yard is often the last thing finished. A fence, a shed for the mower and a pergola over the patio are typical first projects for new owners. Building near fresh fill means the base matters: a shed set on soil that hasn't settled can rack out of square, and fence posts have to go deep enough to resist frost heave. We plan footings for the ground you actually have.
North of Highway 7, rural Pickering brings bigger lots and different needs. A storage shed or workshop may sit well away from the house, a fence line may run a long way, and wind across open ground puts more load on gates and tall structures. We build with that in mind and use heavier posts and solid bracing where the site calls for it.
In the older homes from the 1960s to 1980s, a basement finished long ago may need reframing, and an unfinished one is a blank slate. Framing a basement room typically starts around $4,000. Outside, sheds generally cost $2,000 to $5,000, with pergolas and covered patios at $3,000 to $8,000. Should your project need a permit, we'll say so up front and can coordinate with the City.
Pedro handles sheds, fences, structures and installations. For how he approaches construction & installation in general, see our construction & installation page.

Construction & Installation in Pickering: FAQ
Do you offer construction & installation in Pickering?

We just moved into a new Seaton home. What should we check before putting up a fence?
Start with where the property lines are and how the lot drains. New subdivisions are graded so water runs along shallow swales between yards, and a fence or shed placed across one can cause pooling. We'll look at the grading with you and set posts and footings so water still moves the way it was designed to, and so the fence follows the line you actually own.
Can you build a shed on my rural Pickering property that's bigger than a standard kit?
Yes. For shed building on a rural lot, we frame to the size and layout you need, with a proper base, a door wide enough for your equipment, and windows or a workbench if you want them. If that size calls for a permit, you'll hear it from us before anything is ordered. Once the dimensions are settled, you get a written price covering materials, labour and timeline.
