Del Grande HomesTM is a One Stop Real Estate Company involved in the design and construction of residential homes. We take you from designing the floor plan to getting the approvals and quality reviews done by an Architect.
Once that is done, Del Grande HomesTM provides the customer with a consolidated quote for the construction of the entire building as per the quality standards and material specifications provided by the design team.
From then on, Del Grande HomesTM will own the construction from project start date until completion. We can make aesthetic suggestions and provide our supplier contacts for the selection of finishes. If customers prefer our team handle the interior design, we can facilitate that through our design department.
We service the GTA, Durham and York Regions.
Our goal is to be on-site for a consult within 48 hours pending geographic location. Written estimates are provided for all work.

Construction is a combination of multiple services. It involves careful planning of the ordering and usage of building materials and services provided by multiple individual contractors.

There is a process by which the building permit is issued and once the building permit is in hand you are allowed to start the construction of the house.

Great question – click here for a contractor questionnaire example
A building permit generally is required whenever structural work is involved or when the basic living area of the home is to be changed. The requirements vary considerably from one jurisdiction to another, but a professional who works in your city or town every day will know the local requirements.
Many factors go into pricing a construction project. The most obvious is making sure all estimates have the same materials and scope of work. If you cannot understand all the information, go back and ask the contractor for clarification. If you cannot get satisfactory written results, eliminate that contractor from future bidding. Quality of work is hard to show in a written estimate and is also a factor in costs. This part of the cost difference is usually only confirmed by calling references and/or visiting jobs the contractor has completed. Check references for work completed years ago to see how their works stands up to the test of time. When a contractor carries all the proper and required licenses and insurances, his prices will be higher than a “fly by night” contractor.
We give you our cell phone numbers, we are accessible via email and have support staff available to assist with questions if we are working on site and unreachable by phone.
Home staging is the process of preparing a home for sale by highlighting its best features and creating an environment that speaks to a buyer’s psychology. Think of it like packaging a product. To stand out in a competitive market, it has to be as appealing as possible and stand out from the crowd. Home staging focuses on what the buyer will need to see and feel when they walk through a home to inspire them to make an offer right away.
Home staging is about making a home appealing to the widest range of buyers possible while decorating focuses on one person’s personal taste. In home staging, everything is kept neutral so that buyers can imagine their own décor in its place rather than getting distracted by someone else’s style. While the homeowner may love their décor, some buyers may have a hard time picturing their own décor in its place and become turned off from the home entirely.
Several studies show that home staging helps homes sell faster and for more money than non-staged homes. In the competitive housing market of today, home staging is one of the best marketing strategies at your disposal.
Every home can benefit from home staging to increase its appeal to buyers. Even the most beautifully decorated and organized homes can benefit from it because what makes a home appealing while it’s on the market is different from what makes it appealing while someone is living in it. Empty homes benefit from it, too, because staging helps buyers visualize how to set up their furniture in it and understand the size of each room better.
While decluttering is an important part of home staging, it is only one step in the process. There are a lot of other components that make home staging truly effective as a marketing tool, such as repairs, color, décor, and small details that create a sense of home and capture a buyer’s imagination.
Home staging can be a completely do-it-yourself process with the help of home staging guides. However, professional home stagers often see things that others don’t and can give you a personalized evaluation of your home to give it the best chance at standing out from the competition. Some home stagers, like Del Grande HomesTM Staging, have warehouses full of décor, artwork, and furniture to use in homes while they’re on the market to increase its appeal to buyers.
A staged home has a higher perceived value. A non-staged home will look like it needs more work, which often leads to deductions for repairs and the like so buyers have room to make improvements.
As home staging has proven its value in recent years, more and more home stagers are popping up in the industry. To make sure you hire a professional home stager that will deliver an effective, personalized service, do your research ahead of time. Look at reviews and testimonials, view their portfolio, and interview them before making a final decision.
Del Grande HomesTM Landscaping starts the staging process with an in-person consultation that provides an objective look at your home or investment property. We tour the property to get an idea of which characteristics should be emphasised and which flaws should be minimised, with our property stylists taking notes, photos or a video to guide them in choosing appropriately scaled pieces from our furniture warehouse. Our stylists can also make suggestions on what changes or repairs would further improve the sale price of the property. Our team will discuss timeline, budget, and priorities with you. Once a strategy is agreed upon, a detailed quote will be sent to the customer within 24 hours.
We have found that to keep your home looking its best and to ensure that the furniture and home wares are kept in the best condition, it is best to not live in your home for the duration of Furniture hire. However we can style occupied homes case by case.
The artwork and soft furnishings you see on our website, and social media are owned by us. We do source some furniture from suppliers and ensure quality control. All of our styled property looks are curated by our stylists and designed with your home in mind. We make sure that our furniture is on trend, in pristine condition and cleaned between each hire period.
Our property installation takes between 3 and 6 hours, depending on the size of the property and ease of access.
Using some of your own furniture is what is known as Partial Property Styling. For vendors that can’t move out, our Partial Property Styling Package utilises some (or all) of your furniture along with our artwork and accessories to create a home that will appeal to buyers. While our Full-Service package requires your property to be empty, our partial styling package is perfect for owners who need to stay in their homes during the sale period.
Our stylists can assess your furniture during your in person consultation and give you advice on partial styling.
We understand that when you have a full schedule, the whole process of selling can seem overwhelming. It is our mission to make the styling process as seamless as possible for our customers. We take care of it so that you don’t have to!
Our average styling campaign period is x. This means you have extra time for real estate photography and advertising. Need more time? Just let us know and we may be able to accommodate.
We will do a walk through of your property (this will take approx. 30 minutes). Once we get back to the studio we will review the video footage taken and will put together a concept for your home.
Once confirmed, we make our final selections and then start packing. Everything we choose is with your potential buyers in mind.
Unfortunately no, we do not hire individual pieces of furniture to staging customers. We do have partial styling available but have a required minimum spend.
The more notice you give us, the better!! 2 weeks is fantastic and 3 weeks is even better! But in saying that, we are pretty great on our feet and can deliver a fully staged property in a matter of days if we have availability. (We book out very fast!)
We service the Greater Toronto Area, Durham and York Regions.
Yes. The terms property styling and property staging are interchangeable. Other names used for this service include real estate styling, real estate staging, home styling, home staging and staging to sell.

We live and breath your property. Because we own all our own art & decor and work with furniture wholesalers and suppliers that small stylists don’t have access to, we aren’t limited in our choices. We style based on what your property needs keeping todays trends top of mind.
Our team aims to send all styling quotations within 24 hours.. In our busy periods we guarantee a response 2-3 days.

Landscaping takes part in cycles throughout the year.
Generally, Spring is the best time for preparing and planting flower beds, and beginning hardscaping projects. The Summer construction season is when the majority of large landscaping and hardscaping projects are done. Fall is then a great time for planting trees and installing sod since temperatures are lower. Hardscaping also continues through the Fall until the ground freezes or it begins to snow.
We service the GTA, Durham and York Regions in Ontario.

Aeration should take place during high growth periods. This is typically during the cooler times of the year when there’s plenty of rain, mainly the spring and fall. At Del Grande Landscaping, we recommend Fall aeration with overseeding to loosen the soil and develop new growth at the same time. Aeration is great for any lawn, but especially if it gets a lot of foot traffic, is part of new construction with compact soil, or is part of thatch management/prevention program.
Annuals grow for one season, and then die when the weather gets cold. Perennials grow for multiple seasons, and regrow every Spring after being dormant during the winter.
The basics of watering are simple. Water immediately after planting, let the water soak into the soil, and then water again. During the first week, it’s best to continue frequent watering – either daily or every other day. Following the first week, you’ll only need to water two to three times per week depending on the weather conditions in your area.
Del Grande HomesTM Landscaping’s professional maintenance team pays meticulous attention to your lawn that will provide a multitude of benefits. It’ll give you a great space for your family to enjoy, increase the value of your home, provide oxygen to the environment, and cool down the area around your home, making your air conditioner’s job easier.
It depends on your situation. Drip irrigation is great for watering small areas, or individual plants alongside your home at a slower pace, but a sprinkler system can cover more ground, quickly, making it ideal for watering entire lawns. It can also be programmed to water during specific time periods, so you can set it and forget it. More advantages of drip irrigation include less water lost due to evaporation or runoff, and that it won’t wash away mulch as a heavier watering can. We can help you determine which type of watering you’d be using it for, and weigh the pros and cons.
A hardscape is any non-living element of your yard. Many people design their yards with visions of lush greens, vibrant flowers, and beautifully-manicured grass. But you may feel like something is missing without concrete or stone features to accent your living plants. Hardscape examples include, firepits, patios, pavers, walkways, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls etc…
Pavers are hardscaping features that serve as flooring for patios, walkways, driveways, and more. We offer pavers in a wide variety of styles, shapes, and sizes and can customize them to fit your aesthetic.
Among the many benefits of pavers is their durability. We use high-quality materials and proven installation techniques to provide long-lasting results. Regardless of how frequently you gather on your pavers, you can expect them to last for 50+ years.
Retaining walls are critical structural supports for any yard that features a hillside or slope. They prevent erosions while also providing a proper outlet for water runoff. But aside from their practical purposes, they can also beautify your yard. We often use them to create terraces of usable land for flowers and shrubs. Our team can customize your retaining wall using concrete blocks, stone, or pavers.
