Custom Homes in Pickering

Before site work takes over, Andare's designers help resolve the choices that define the home: floor-plan refinement, room relationships, exterior character, fixture direction, cabinetry, lighting mood, finish palettes, and the details that keep a new build from feeling generic.

Clients often arrive with a clear mood but not a fully resolved plan. The design team turns that into buildable direction before the site pace takes over.

Custom-home quality is visible in the parts people notice and the parts they do not. Exterior materials need clean transitions. Interior trim should resolve properly at stairs, windows, doors, and cabinetry. Tile, stone, flooring, and millwork need sequencing so the final junctions feel intentional.

Andare's role is to protect that standard across the build, not just at the final walkthrough.

Andare coordinates the new-home build process with clear documentation, scope control, and defined handover standards. Any applicable Ontario new-home warranty coverage depends on the specific project and is reviewed with you before work begins.

The attention to detail is incredible.

Building a home with Andare was smoother than getting my kids to bed on time. The design team somehow translated my vague ideas of "big kitchen, cool bathroom" into a masterpiece.

The work completed was great, and customer service was too. Wonderful experience!

Recently had kitchen renovations done, they were very timely and professional, and had great hospitality towards us.

Pickering includes older lakeshore communities, post-war homes, family subdivisions, townhouses, newer Seaton growth areas, rural northern properties, and homes near Rouge Park and conservation lands. Common work includes kitchens, basements, bathrooms, additions, legal-suite review, custom homes, garages, and outdoor living.

Pickering projects require local and Durham Region review. Toronto rules do not apply. Zoning, grading, conservation, tree impacts, servicing, parking, fire separation, and building permits can affect suites, additions, custom homes, and major renovations.

Pickering work can shift from compact lakeshore lots to rural-edge properties and new subdivision homes. Access, drainage, conservation, household growth, and transit-oriented family needs all influence the plan.

Andare's design team can help Pickering clients connect layout, lower-level use, selections, storage, exterior access, and consultant review before the job moves into construction.

Andare supports homeowners in Bay Ridges, West Shore, Liverpool, Amberlea, Dunbarton, Rosebank, Seaton, Claremont, and surrounding Pickering neighbourhoods. Andare keeps custom homes tied to the home in front of us, not a generic city-wide template.
