Canata Group Construction
Peel Region

General contractor in Mississauga

Mississauga is our home city. Our office is a short drive up the 403, and a large share of our work sits between Port Credit and Meadowvale. We have completed more than eight kitchen renovations, eight basement projects and eight exterior programs in Mississauga alone, along with commercial fit-ups across the city.

The housing here

What renovating in Mississauga actually involves

Most of Mississauga went up between the 1960s and the 1980s, which means a lot of backsplits and sidesplits with load-bearing walls right where people now want an open kitchen. South of the QEW in Lorne Park and Port Credit the homes are older and the lots are larger, so renovations there tend to be full-house rather than single-room. Churchill Meadows and Central Erin Mills are newer and the work is usually basements and outdoor living.

Local considerations

Things that catch people out in Mississauga

Second units are permitted, but they have to be registered

Mississauga allows a second unit in most detached, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings, and it has to be registered with the City. That means real egress, proper fire separation and an inspection. We build to that standard by default, because an unregistered basement apartment is a problem the day you try to sell or refinance.

Water and sewer connections go through Peel Region

Building permits come from the City, but anything touching water or sanitary service runs through Peel Region. On additions and basement bathrooms this is the step that most often holds a job up, so we start it early rather than at the end.

Split-level homes need a structural plan, not a sledgehammer

Opening up a Mississauga backsplit almost always means removing something structural. That needs an engineered beam and a permit. It is the single most common thing homeowners here are quoted for incorrectly.
