Renovating Scarborough Homes, One Room at a Time

Scarborough's bungalows and backsplits from the 1960s and 70s sit on some of the most generous lots in the city, which is exactly why basement apartments and additions are such a common request here.

A big lot is an opportunity, not a guarantee. Grading, drainage, and older foundation waterproofing all need a real look before a basement becomes livable space. We check that first, then we build.

That combination of big lots and older construction shows up from Agincourt in the north down to Guildwood and Highland Creek along the bluffs, where basement apartment conversions and additions are especially common requests.

Bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation and remodeling, and general contracting are the projects with the clearest confirmed demand we see in Scarborough.

Bathroom renovation shows the strongest confirmed search volume of any category in Scarborough, ahead of kitchen work, which is a little unusual compared to most GTA municipalities where kitchens typically lead. It's a pattern worth knowing before you assume your project should start in the kitchen.

Kitchen renovation and remodeling follow closely behind, especially in homes where a 1960s or 70s layout was never designed around a modern appliance package. General contracting demand rounds out the picture, which tracks with how many Scarborough projects, basement apartments, additions, full-home updates, need more than one trade coordinated under a single crew. Between Agincourt, Malvern, West Hill, Cliffside, and Woburn, no two Scarborough streets necessarily share the same construction era or lot grading, so we treat the initial walkthrough as the real starting point for every quote, not a formality before we hand over a standard number.
