Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.We’ve worked with John on many projects over the years as we greatly appreciate his expertise, honesty, and reliability. He’s helped us with a garage rebuild, various interior improvements (repaint and ceiling repairs), staircase modernization (carpet to non-carpet), front deck addition, many exterior improvements (repaint etc) and many more. I would highly recommend a consultation with John for your next project.

Making better use of space behind the main home
An underused area near the rear of a property may offer opportunities beyond parking or storage. A laneway suite can introduce an independent space for family members, guests, rental use, a private office, or another long-term property need.
This creates additional functionality without changing the primary home’s interior footprint. It also allows owners to reconsider how different parts of the lot can support evolving household, financial, or lifestyle plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I qualify to build a laneway suite on my property?
Eligibility depends on property size, access, and existing zoning. We assess your lot and confirm compliance with Toronto’s laneway housing rules before starting any design work.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
Yes. Arnold Homes takes care of all city permits, utility connections, and inspections required for laneway suite construction.
How long does a laneway suite project take?
On average, projects take 8 to 12 months from design to completion, depending on complexity and city approvals.
Can I rent out my laneway suite?
Yes. Laneway suites can be rented long-term if they meet city requirements and are properly registered as secondary dwellings.
What’s the difference between a laneway suite and a garden suite?
A laneway suite faces a public laneway, while a garden suite is located behind a house without laneway access. Arnold Homes builds both.
