At D2 Build, we specialize in custom home renovations and builds in Leaside, one of Toronto’s most established and sought-after neighbourhoods. Leaside’s housing stock is unlike most of the city, with generous lots, private driveways, and a high concentration of 1930s and 1940s homes with half-timbering, steep rooflines, and leaded glass. These homes are beautiful, but they come with the realities of pre-war construction: knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls, dated layouts, and additions that need to respect the original character. Our team blends expert craftsmanship with a genuine understanding of how these homes are built and how to modernize them without erasing what makes them worth owning.
With over 30 years of experience, D2 Build guides you through planning and design to project management and completion. Whether you’re opening up a closed-off main floor, adding a second storey, or building from the ground up, we focus on creating modern, functional spaces that fit your lifestyle while honouring the architecture Leaside is known for.
Trust D2 Build to bring your dream home in Leaside to life. We’re here to ensure a smooth, transparent renovation or custom build experience tailored to your needs. Contact us today to start planning your next project!
Partner with D2 Build for your kitchen renovation in Leaside. The original kitchens in many Leaside homes were compact, walled off from the rest of the house, and disconnected from family life. We specialize in reworking these spaces into open, functional kitchens that suit how families actually live today, while respecting the home’s proportions and detailing.
We prioritize clear communication, transparency, and quality craftsmanship, focusing on one project at a time so every detail is completed to your satisfaction. Our familiarity with Leaside’s older homes lets us anticipate the structural and mechanical surprises that come with renovating pre-war properties, keeping your project on track.
Turn your bathroom into a luxurious, functional space with D2 Build. Older Leaside homes often have small, dated bathrooms and a single bath serving the whole upper floor. Whether you want a full primary ensuite, a reconfiguration to add a second bathroom, or a straightforward refresh, we’re the right general contractor to discuss your ideas, provide a concept design, and deliver a detailed cost estimate so you know what to expect before work begins. Our tradespeople respect your home and complete your renovation on time, on budget, and beyond expectations.
D2 Build offers complete design-to-completion services for Garages, Garden Suites, and Laneway Suites in Leaside. The neighbourhood’s deep, generous lots make it well suited to a secondary suite, whether you’re creating rental income, a space for extended family, or a home office detached from the main house. We begin by understanding your vision, creating a custom design, and providing accurate timelines for seamless integration into your busy life. Our skilled contractors keep every phase on schedule with open communication and regular updates, delivering high-quality results on time and within budget.
Expanding living space is a common goal in Leaside, where families put down long-term roots and would rather grow into their home than leave the neighbourhood, its schools, and its parks behind. D2 Build has the expertise to make that happen. Using advanced 3D rendering software, we give you a clear visualization of your addition before construction begins. Our design team works closely with you to ensure the new space blends seamlessly with your existing home, adding space without requiring you to move out during the work.
A porch enclosure is a natural fit for Leaside’s tree-lined streets, extending your living space while letting you enjoy the quiet, shaded character of the neighbourhood. Whether you want a peaceful spot to relax, a place to entertain, or extra storage, D2 Build creates custom enclosures that complement the home’s existing architecture, adds protection from the weather, reduces noise, and increases home security and value. With high-quality materials from trusted suppliers, D2 Build delivers enclosures that are attractive, functional, and built to last.
Leaside’s pre-war homes were built for how families lived nearly a century ago. Compartmentalized rooms, narrow hallways, and main floors closed off room by room. D2 Build reworks these interiors into open, functional spaces that suit modern life while preserving the character and proportions that make these homes worth keeping. We also address interior waterproofing where it matters most, and we make sure that work is done correctly rather than covered over. Using our exclusive 3D modelling software, you can visualize the reconfigured space before construction begins, so there are no surprises once the work begins.
The exterior is where Leaside’s architectural signature lives. D2 Build revitalizes exteriors with expert facade work and durable siding that enhances your home’s appeal while staying true to its original character. We understand that on these streets, a renovation that clashes with the home or its neighbours stands out for the wrong reasons. Whether you’re restoring weathered detailing, upgrading to high-performance materials, or refreshing the entire exterior, we use quality materials from trusted suppliers and finish the work to last. The result protects your home against the elements and strengthens its presence on the street.
The leaded glass and steep-rooflined facades give Leaside streets their character, but the original units behind them are often drafty, single-glazed, and decades past their efficient life. D2 Build upgrades windows and doors with high-performance materials that cut heat loss and outside noise while respecting the look the home was built with. We manage product selection, permits, structural work, and flawless finishing, advising on applicable rebate programs that make energy-efficient upgrades more affordable. The result improves comfort, security, and curb appeal without compromising the home’s original presence on the street.
