Condo Renovation in Scarborough

Renovating a condo means working inside someone else's building: approvals, set work hours, a booked elevator and neighbours on every side. We plan around all of it. In Scarborough, most houses are 1950s to 1970s bungalows, back-splits and two-storeys on generous lots.

Before you start

What to know.

Board approval
Most condo corporations require written approval before work starts, and often a deposit and proof of insurance. We prepare what the management office asks for.
What you can change
You own the inside of the unit, not the structure, risers or shared systems. Concrete walls, columns and plumbing stacks generally stay where they are.
Building rules
Work hours, noise limits, elevator bookings and delivery routes are set by the building, and they shape the schedule.
