THE PROBLEM

Every Niagara municipality has its own rules. Getting it wrong costs you the whole project.

Zoning by-laws, permit portals, ADU limits, and approval timelines differ from St. Catharines to Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake. A contractor who doesn't already know your city's specific requirements is learning on your dime — and a rejected first submission can add months to your timeline.

WHY PARAHOMES

Six cities. The same fixed-price process everywhere.

We already work directly with Planning and Building departments in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Fort Erie, Thorold, and Niagara-on-the-Lake — each with its own zoning by-law, permit process, and approval timeline. Wherever you are in Niagara, we already know the local requirements.

Every project — basement or addition — is fixed price, fully permitted, and delivered on the timeline agreed at scope sign-off, no matter which Niagara municipality you're in.

What Niagara homeowners say after working with us.

We found his work impeccable. When our contractor in New Brunswick did a terrible job on our investment property, Stephen came in and saved us — rebuilt 3 kitchens, showers, and numerous doors. We won't hire anyone else.

My basement went from unused space to $1,600 a month in rent. My friends came over, saw it, and wouldn't stop asking who did it. Now they're calling PARAHOMES too.
