Incredible team to work with, exceptional quality of work!

We've just underwent a major home renovation - When you are taking on a project of this magnitude, you need to have trust in your partners, and the Built by Pros team earned our trust every step of the way. They worked tirelessly to get the job done on time, and to a high quality of finish. They were honest and open in their communications - which is so important when you are renovating a 100+ year old home and bound to discover some issue hidden behind dry wall. They were reasonable in their pricing - the team has a great designer and architect who helped us find creative design solutions that helped us fall in love with our house, but also do it within budget.

For people in the GTA considering a home reno - we highly recommend this team.

Planning Your Renovation in Markham

Markham homeowners may be updating an established home or planning for a changing household. We help you explore renovations, additions and custom homes with attention to the existing property, your priorities and the decisions that affect scope.

Built By Pros brings design and construction together. We discuss what you want to change, review the existing space and help define the work before construction begins. That includes decisions about layout, finishes and the drawings or engineering your project may need.

Explore home renovations, home additions or custom homes to learn more about the options.

Design, Permits & Construction With One Team

A clear scope helps you understand what is included and which decisions are still ahead. Our process covers consultation, design and scope confirmation, project planning, construction and a final walkthrough. Drawings, engineering and permit applications are coordinated where the work requires them.

Requirements depend on the property and the proposed changes. We review the requirements and discuss the approval steps during planning. During construction, documented changes and regular communication help keep you informed about the work.

See our process for the steps from your first conversation to handover.

Commercial & Office Renovations in Markham

We also renovate offices and commercial interiors. These projects need a plan for how the space will function, how the work will be sequenced and which services or finishes need to change. If your business will remain in operation, discuss access and scheduling with our team at the start.

FAQ

Renovation in Markham: Your Questions Answered

Do I need a permit for a basement renovation in Markham?

Yes, the City of Markham specifically requires a building permit for any project that involves structural changes, new plumbing, or creating a separate dwelling unit. Our team handles the entire application process, including preparing the required CAD drawings and structural engineering reports. Failing to get a permit can lead to costly fines or the requirement to tear out finished work, so we ensure full compliance from day one.

How do you handle the high water table in certain Markham areas during excavation?

Certain parts of Markham have higher water tables that require specialized drainage solutions during basement lowering or additions. We implement industrial-grade sump pump systems and advanced exterior waterproofing membranes to ensure your new space remains dry and mold-free. Our engineers assess the soil conditions early in the planning phase to determine if additional reinforcement or specialized drainage tile is necessary for your specific lot.

What is the average timeline for a kitchen renovation in Markham?

A typical full kitchen renovation usually spans 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the complexity of structural changes like removing load-bearing walls. This timeline includes the demolition phase, rough-ins for electrical and plumbing, cabinet installation, and countertop templating. We minimize the impact on your family life by setting up temporary kitchen solutions and maintaining a strict delivery schedule for all custom finishes.

Can you help with 'Aging in Place' modifications in older Markham homes?

Absolutely, we specialize in converting traditional homes into accessible spaces through our ADA design training. We focus on non-clinical aesthetics, installing high-end curbless showers, stylish grab bars, and improved lighting that enhances safety without making the home feel like a medical facility. We can also integrate smart technology for voice-controlled lighting and temperature, which is a popular request among our Markham clients.
