Markham Home Renovation & Design-Build Contractors
Home Renovation Toronto is a licensed and insured design-build contractor that has delivered home renovation in Markham since 1996 - kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels and master ensuites, basement finishing, condo renovations, home additions, and open-concept main floor conversions, all on a fixed-price contract with City of Markham building permits handled in-house.
At 2026 pricing, a Markham kitchen renovation starts around $45,000 and a rear home addition around $200,000 installed. Every scope is locked to one guaranteed price after pre-construction planning, with zero allowances.

Outdated 1980s Layout? Open It Up Without Budget Creep
These are the problems most homeowners face. Our fixed-price design-build model is built to solve them.
Budget Blowouts
Most renovations creep 30% over budget through vague "allowances". We replace estimates with a firm, fixed-price contract, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Outgrown, Outdated Layouts
Cramped, closed-off rooms make a home you love feel like one you have outgrown. Our design-build team reworks the floor plan around how your family actually lives today.

Why Homeowners Across York Region Choose Us
Home Renovation in Markham: Permits, Zoning & Logistics
Markham renovations are permitted through the City of Markham Building Standards Department, not the City of Toronto, and every structural, plumbing, and electrical change is built to the Ontario Building Code. Exterior work inside the Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill, and Buttonville heritage conservation districts can also need a heritage permit, ravine lots along the Rouge River may need Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) review, and additions that exceed zoning limits go to Markham's Committee of Adjustment. We identify all of this during pre-construction and manage the drawings, building permits, and inspections, so the schedule holds.
Our crews reach Unionville, Cornell, Angus Glen, and Boxgrove via Highway 407, Highway 404, and Highway 7, keeping deliveries and trade scheduling predictable across York Region and the wider Greater Toronto Area. Condo renovations in the Markham Centre towers along Highway 7 follow each building's renovation agreement, elevator booking, and quiet-hours rules.
Modernizing Markham's 1980s and 1990s Subdivision Homes
Markham's 1980s and 1990s subdivisions in Unionville, Milliken, Raymerville, and Berczy Village are now due for modernization. Most are two-storey detached homes, semi-detached homes, and freehold townhouses with closed-plan main floors, formal living and dining rooms that go unused, and kitchens walled off from the family room. Newer builds in Cornell and Cathedraltown often still carry builder-grade laminate counters and stock cabinets.
Our specialty is opening those layouts: removing walls with engineered LVL beams, rebuilding kitchens with ceiling-height custom cabinetry and Caesarstone quartz counters, converting dated bathrooms into master ensuites with double vanities, finishing basements as family rooms or in-law suites for multi-generational households, and updating plumbing, electrical, and HVAC to current code. The Home Renovation Toronto team delivers every project on a fixed price, with warranty claims answered within 2 business days.

“They managed all of it - approvals, scheduling, the lot. Beautiful result, and the price never changed.”
