Transforming your Scarborough property with expert craftsmanship and full project management since 2008.



We handle the entire secondary suite or addition permitting process through the City of Toronto, ensuring your Scarborough home meets all fire, safety, and zoning regulations. This protects your investment and ensures high-quality structural integrity for years to come.
Our designs take into account the unique lot sizes and architectural styles of neighborhoods like Guildwood and Wexford. We ensure your renovation increases curb appeal and fits the neighborhood character while modernizing the interior layout for current lifestyles.
Receive a detailed, line-by-item quote that covers everything from initial demolition to final millwork. We eliminate common renovation pitfalls by locking in prices for core materials and documenting any requested scope changes in writing immediately.
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your existing structure, checking for 1950s-era mechanical issues or soil stability concerns common in the Scarborough Bluffs area. This ensures our initial quote accounts for the actual conditions of your specific lot and home type.
Our architects and engineers create detailed drawings for submission to the Toronto Building Department. We handle the back-and-forth with the city to secure all necessary permits for structural changes, ensuring your renovation is fully legal and safe.
We schedule our trusted team of licensed plumbers, electricians, and carpenters in a precise sequence to minimize downtime. This project management approach prevents the common pitfall of a 'silent jobsite' and keeps your renovation moving forward every day.
Throughout the construction phase, our site supervisors conduct regular inspections to ensure all craftsmanship meets our 'Pros' standard. This matters because it catches potential issues early, before finishes are applied, guaranteeing a flawless final product that lasts.
A full-home, inside-and-out renovation typically ranges from 4 to 8 months depending on the scope and complexity. Factors such as structural wall removals, basement underpinning, or large additions can extend this timeline. We provide a detailed week-by-week schedule during the planning phase to ensure you can coordinate your living arrangements accordingly.
Most interior renovations that involve structural changes, plumbing upgrades, or new electrical work require a building permit from the City of Toronto. If you are adding an addition or creating a legal basement suite, you will also need to comply with specific zoning bylaws and potentially secure HVAC permits. Our team handles all CAD drawings and permit applications to ensure your project is 100% legal and compliant.
Yes, many Scarborough homes built in the mid-20th century may contain hazardous materials like asbestos in duct wrap or floor tiles. During our initial consultation and quoting phase, we identify potential risks and coordinate professional abatement services to safely remove these materials before construction begins. We prioritize site safety and ensure that your modernized home is healthy and hazard-free.

Learn MoreWe hired Built By Pros for a full interior renovation and a small rear addition to our 1960s bungalow. Suzanne was incredible with the design phase, and Ricardo's crew was on-site every morning at 7:30 AM sharp. They handled the tricky foundation work required for our lot near the bluffs perfectly. The project was completed in five months, exactly as promised, and the new open-concept kitchen with the quartz island is now the heart of our home.
After interviewing four contractors, we chose Built By Pros for our exterior makeover and basement renovation. They replaced all our windows and installed new insulated siding which has already made a huge difference in our heating bills this winter. The basement was finished as a legal secondary suite, and the attention to detail on the fire separation and noise insulation was impressive. They even finished the project two weeks ahead of schedule.
Our two-story colonial needed a complete 'inside and out' overhaul. Built By Pros managed everything from the structural wall removal to the new porch installation. We were particularly impressed by how they kept the site clean during the demolition of our old lath and plaster walls. The craftsman style finish they achieved on our interior trim perfectly matches the original character of the house but with a modern, high-quality feel.
