Read on GoogleIncredible 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.

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.
