Do you finish basements in newer Markham homes?

Yes. Newer homes often have tall, dry basements that suit a family room, gym or guest suite. We plan the layout, lighting and bathroom rough-ins early.

Do you work on laneway townhouses in Cornell?

Yes. We plan deliveries and parking from the rear lane and protect shared areas, which keeps the work organised in a tighter setting.

Can you design a kitchen for a multi-generational household?

Yes. We look at how many people cook at once, storage for bulk items and seating, and plan the layout around those needs.

Renovating in Markham

Planned around the homes in Markham

Markham combines historic villages with some of the GTA's newest neighbourhoods. We plan renovations around the age and character of the house, from sensitive interior updates in older homes to full kitchen and basement projects in newer ones.

Unionville and Markham Village have older houses with period detail, while Cornell, Berczy Village, Cathedraltown and Box Grove are newer planned communities. Newer homes often need finished basements and upgraded kitchens, and older homes need careful work around original features.

Local considerations

What to plan for in Markham

Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we check for early in Markham.

Heritage conservation districts

Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill and Buttonville have heritage districts where exterior changes can need approval.

Laneway townhouses

Newer communities such as Cornell have rear-lane homes, where deliveries and access come from the lane.

Multi-generational living

Many households plan for grandparents or adult children, so layouts, bathrooms and accessibility matter from the start.

Original features in older homes

Period trim, floors and doors are worth protecting. We plan the work around what should stay.

Permits, budget and timing

Planning a renovation in Markham

Building permits are issued by the City of Markham. Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill and Buttonville include heritage conservation districts, where exterior alterations such as siding, windows and porches can need heritage approval.

Heritage approvals add time before exterior work can start, so we build that into the schedule early. Interior projects in newer homes usually move faster, with cabinetry and tile lead times setting the pace.

Requirements depend on the property and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your project before the scope is fixed.

Questions

Renovating in Markham

Common questions from Markham homeowners. For anything about your own property, get in touch.

Possibly, but exterior changes in a heritage conservation district usually need approval before work starts. We can help you prepare the details the City will want to see.
