We recently completed a full home renovation plus addition with Built By Pros and we were so happy with our decision! We looked at many different companies and ultimately decided on Built By Pros after meeting with Ricardo and Suzanne and getting a good feeling from them right off the bat. They were very helpful and involved in every step of the process which gave us complete trust and confidence in them. They hold themselves to a high quality and customer service standard and it shows through their approach and their work.

The whole team was great to work with. The crew was friendly, respectful, helpful and went the extra mile to ensure all our requests were accommodated. The project was on budget and on time and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother process.

We have now moved into our new house and are loving our new space. If you’re looking to do a home reno, look no further than Built By Pros!

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.

I chose Built By Pros for my en suite bathroom renovation after meeting with them at the Toronto Home Show. From the initial meeting with Suzanne to subsequent conversations about what I wanted for the renovation as a part of the contract signing - the process was smooth and feedback was always heard and quickly addressed. I felt very comfortable moving forward with the contract and project given the amount of details provided for the initial assessment and a clear understanding of the project milestones, cost and timelines. It was a pleasure working with Suzanne and Petra through the planning and construction - I had an idea / vision of what I wanted the bathroom to look like and they both made sure it was possible, down to every last detail. The crew was also great - very meticulous with their work and receptive to feedback (also very detail oriented which was excellent).

The bathroom construction timeline itself was extended a bit but was totally worth the wait. It is beautiful, functional and exactly what I hoped for. I would highly recommend Built By Pros for your construction project.

Planning Your Renovation in Scarborough

From improving kitchens and bathrooms to planning a larger home transformation, a Scarborough project starts with the existing property. We help you consider the layout, condition of the home and the space you need before choosing a construction 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 Scarborough

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 Scarborough: Your Questions Answered

What are the specific building permit requirements for Scarborough renovations?

In Scarborough, any structural changes, additions, or major plumbing and electrical work require a permit from the City of Toronto Building Department. Because many Scarborough neighborhoods have specific zoning restrictions or are located near conservation authorities like the TRCA, we conduct a preliminary zoning search for every project. We manage the entire application process, including submitting CAD drawings and ensuring all work meets the Ontario Building Code.

How do you handle renovations in older Scarborough homes with dated wiring or plumbing?

Many homes in established Scarborough neighborhoods may have outdated systems like knob-and-tube wiring or lead pipes. During our initial consultation and teardown phase, we perform a thorough inspection of your home's mechanical systems. We provide a transparent quote for upgrading these essentials to modern standards, ensuring your renovated home is not only beautiful but safe and efficient for the long term.

Can you help with aging-in-place modifications for seniors in Scarborough?

Yes, we specialize in accessibility renovations for the growing senior population in Scarborough, ON. We can install barrier-free showers, stairlifts, and adjust counter heights to make daily living safer and more comfortable. We work with you to plan for future needs, ensuring that your home remains functional as your mobility requirements change, allowing you to stay in your community indefinitely.

How long does a typical full-home renovation in Scarborough take?

The timeline for a full renovation depends on the scope, but most comprehensive projects in Scarborough take between 4 to 6 months. This includes the design phase, permit acquisition, and the construction itself. We provide a detailed week-by-week schedule before we begin so you know exactly when trades will be on-site and can plan your life accordingly. Our site supervisors provide daily updates to keep the project moving forward on time.
