Exterior Renovations Toronto

A. Yes, we do. Ashton Renovations provides complete roofing replacement services in Toronto, including professional skylight installation.

We’ve worked on a wide range of older and newer homes over the past 25+ years, and we understand the importance of doing roofing right — especially in our climate where durability, ventilation, and waterproofing are essential.

We offer several types of roofing systems based on your home’s structure and design, including:

• Asphalt shingles (the most common and cost-effective)
• Metal roofing (durable, long-lasting, and low-maintenance)
• Flat roofing systems (such as modified bitumen or TPO for low-slope areas)

Every roof replacement includes full removal of existing materials, inspection and repair of the roof deck, proper underlayment and flashing, and updated ventilation to extend the lifespan of the roof.

When it comes to skylights, we install Velux skylights, which are considered the best in the industry. Velux offers exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and clean, leak-free installation — and we've been using them reliably for over 25 years. Whether it's a fixed skylight to brighten a hallway or a venting model to allow airflow in a bathroom or kitchen, we ensure everything is installed to manufacturer specifications to avoid leaks and maximize natural light.

If your renovation involves roofing work or you're looking to update your skylights as part of a broader home project, we can seamlessly integrate it into your design and construction schedule.

A. At Ashton Renovations, we offer both full exterior and interior waterproofing solutions, as well as foundation repairs and underpinning for Toronto homes — especially older properties where moisture and structural issues are common.

Our approach always begins with a thorough assessment of the basement and foundation conditions. If signs of water infiltration are present — such as cracks, efflorescence, or damp walls — we identify the source and determine the best method of repair. Whenever possible, exterior waterproofing is the preferred solution, as it prevents water from entering the structure in the first place. This involves excavating around the foundation, repairing cracks, applying a waterproof membrane, adding drainage board, and installing or repairing weeping tile systems to redirect water away from the home.

In cases where the exterior is not accessible (such as homes with shared walls or tight urban lots), we offer interior waterproofing systems as an alternative. This can involve the installation of interior drainage channels, sump pumps, and vapor barriers — all designed to manage water that enters and redirect it safely away from the living space.

We also handle foundation repairs, which may include crack injections using epoxy or polyurethane, structural reinforcement, and in some cases, underpinning. Underpinning is a more extensive process that involves digging beneath the existing foundation and pouring new concrete footings to strengthen and lower the basement floor — often done to achieve proper ceiling height for finished or legal basement suites.

Our team works closely with engineers, inspectors, and waterproofing specialists to ensure that every step is done right, protecting your home for the long term. With over 25 years of experience, Ashton Renovations ensures that your basement and foundation are safe, dry, and ready for renovation.

A. Improving your home's curb appeal in Toronto can make a huge difference — not only in how it looks but also in how it feels when you come home each day. There are several key upgrades that can dramatically enhance the front of your home. These include landscaping, rebuilding or refinishing the front porch, updating the windows and siding, replacing the front door, and even adding new lighting or house numbers for a fresh, modern look.

At Ashton Renovations, we always suggest starting with a simple walk to the curb — look at your home with fresh eyes and ask yourself what looks tired, outdated, or neglected. Often, it’s the small details that stand out first. Peeling paint, dated porch railings, worn steps, or old aluminum siding are all areas we can help improve. We also guide clients in choosing materials and finishes that complement the style of the house and the character of the neighbourhood, whether that’s modern, traditional, or something in between.

Even subtle updates like replacing trim, adding stone or wood accents, or updating your roofline and fascia can dramatically boost visual impact. And when it comes to bigger transformations, we can incorporate exterior insulation, re-cladding, and structural improvements that improve energy efficiency as well as curb appeal.

Curb appeal isn’t just about resale value — it’s about pride of ownership and loving where you live. We’re here to help you bring that vision to life.
