This custom home project in Rockcliffe-Smythe, Toronto was a full design-build transformation handled by Ridgestone Homes, a trusted custom home builder Rockcliffe-Smythe families turn to for expert craftsmanship and practical solutions.
The homeowners were living in an outdated 1.5-storey home that lacked both the space and functionality needed for their growing family. They wanted to upgrade to a more modern layout — but zoning regulations and new Toronto setback requirements threatened to limit the potential size of the build. Ridgestone Homes stepped in to find a creative solution. As an experienced custom home builder Rockcliffe-Smythe clients can rely on, we helped the homeowners maximize allowable square footage without compromising their vision.
Our team designed a fully open-concept main floor that seamlessly blends living, dining, and kitchen spaces while incorporating ample built-in storage. A striking stucco-and-stone exterior with a bow window adds curb appeal and character to the new build. From zoning consultations to the final finishes, every stage was completed in-house by our dedicated design-build team.
This project stands as a prime example of what a knowledgeable custom home builder Rockcliffe-Smythe can achieve when city regulations meet client aspirations. The end result is a modern, efficient, and beautiful family home that’s built to last.

Homeowner Reviews on Our Custom Builds & Renovations
Ridgestone helped us when we first moved into our new home. He helped update the main floor, kitchen, he fixed the basement (we found water damage after moving in), made a second kitchen and a wheel chair accessible bathroom for my husband. They then made a deck in the backyard that my husband could join us on. They kept the place as clean as can be expected, and kept my daughter and son up to date with what was happening. As an older couple, we appreciated their patience and kindness.
Like many homeowners in Toronto I've dealt with contractors and handyman that aren't responsive, don't show up and do poor work at high prices. Our experience with Ridgestone was the opposite. Ernesto was responsive, professional, and proactive. Pricing was a bit on the higher side, but when you see the difference in quality you get why. They did great work on our condo. We started with a bathroom and ended up doing the kitchen and flooring. I like that they worked with us and kept me up to date with what was going on. I'd definitely recommend them.
Original stucco was cracking and decision was to repair or rip off the entire stucco and rebuild. Ridgestone did a complete analysis and determined that sealing under stucco was not properly placed. We decided to do it right. The crew was professional, with great attention to detail especially in critical areas where water could enter. Ridgestone also designed the deck with Pergola. The decision to use Trex with seader was the right choice. The deck team was amazing, great attention to detail and 2 summers later the deck look as good as new. Overall, the team at Ridgestone is very Customer focused - they listen to your needs and concerns and provide a complete analysis of your options. Their work is outstanding.
Going through a huge renovation is a very stressful process but we found that Ridgestone Homes guided us through every step with dedication, commitment, and patience which helped immensely. Very happy that we chose to partner up with Ridgestone Homes in remodeling our home. Appreciate your quick responses and helpful design ideas. We now have a new main floor with a dream showcase kitchen and a new remodeled second floor that we have always envisioned. Thank you for making it a reality.
