Home renovations
in Markham.
Villages inside
a modern city.
Markham grew into one of Canada's largest and most modern cities without paving over its past. Unionville's Main Street and the old core of Markham Village survive as genuine nineteenth-century streetscapes, and the homes around them carry heritage character that no new build can imitate.
Beyond the villages, the city is mostly the product of a long building boom. Neighbourhoods laid down through the 1980s and 1990s — Milliken, Middlefield, Raymerville, Bullock — are reaching the age where kitchens feel dated, layouts feel closed, and basements are still waiting to be used. That middle stretch of housing is where most of the renovation demand sits.
Newer again are the master-planned communities: Cornell, Wismer, Berczy, Greensborough, and the executive homes around Angus Glen and Cachet. Larger houses, higher expectations, and space that rewards being finished properly. Heritage home, established subdivision, or executive build, the standard of execution holds across all three.
What we deliver.
From heritage work in Unionville to modernizing an established subdivision home, the full scope of services we offer Markham homeowners.

Let's renovate your Markham home.
Renovation that fits
how you live.
The best Markham renovations start with the household, not the floor plan. How many people share the house, how the kitchen gets used, whether a parent is moving in — those answers change the design more than the era of the build ever will. We ask first and draw second.
In-Law Suites & Multi-Generational Living
Plenty of Markham homes house more than one generation. We build the space that makes it work — self-contained lower-level suites with a full bath and kitchen, main-floor bedroom and bath conversions, and layouts that give everyone privacy under one roof.
Modernizing the 1980s and 90s Stock
A large share of Markham was built in two decades and is dating together. Closed-off kitchens, small ensuites, unfinished basements — we open these homes up and bring them current while keeping what's structurally sound about the original build.
Heritage & Village Character
Around Unionville and Markham Village, older homes come with plaster, original trim, and character that deserves protecting. Where a property carries a heritage designation, extra approvals apply, and we account for them before design begins rather than partway through.
City of Markham Permits
A basement suite, a second-storey addition, and a heritage renovation each follow their own route through the City. We prepare complete, accurate drawings the first time and carry the permits, so your project starts on schedule.

Common local questions.
The questions Markham homeowners ask us most often.
Yes, and it's some of our most-requested Markham work. A proper suite means a full bathroom, a kitchen or kitchenette, adequate ceiling height, code-compliant egress, and often a separate entrance. We design it around who's living there and build it to code so it works long-term.
Yes. A second kitchen — whether for heavy cooking, a lower-level suite, or simply keeping the main kitchen clean — needs its own ventilation, plumbing, and electrical planned in from the start. We build them properly rather than adapting a space that was never meant for it.
That's the core of our work here. Homes across Milliken, Middlefield, Raymerville, and the surrounding neighbourhoods share the same issues — closed kitchens, dated baths, unfinished basements. We open them up and bring them current without losing what's solid in the original build.
Yes. Older homes near the village cores come with plaster, original trim, uneven structures, and outdated systems. We renovate them sympathetically, and where a property carries a heritage designation we account for the additional approval requirements as part of the plan.
A single room runs a few weeks; a finished basement 6 to 10 weeks depending on scope, longer for a full suite with a kitchen and bath. Whole-home renovations and additions are measured in months and depend on permits, structural work, and material lead times. We give you a project-specific schedule before construction starts.
