Full-Service Restoration Solutions We Provide
We provide turnkey kitchen and bath upgrades—high-quality custom cabinetry, smart storage, high-end fixtures, and code-compliant plumbing and electrical. We transform basements to living-grade standards with water control, insulation, egress, and integrated HVAC. If you need extra space, we develop and build seamless additions that suit your home's structure, style, and budget.
Kitchen & Bath Improvements
Small layout shifts can alter how a kitchen cooks and a bath works. We rework work triangles, remove bottlenecks, and align sinks, appliances, and prep zones for effortless flow. You'll get long-lasting surfaces, code-compliant ventilation, and moisture-smart assemblies that withstand daily use.
We plan cabinetry with clever storage: deep drawers, pull-out pantries, tray dividers, and concealed recycling. Countertops and backsplashes are chosen for performance and easy maintenance. Our lighting upgrades combine accent, task, and ambient light—statement pendants, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmable recessed cans—to boost function and mood.
For bathroom projects, we refine plumbing layouts, add curbless showers, heated floors, and niche shelving. Low-flow fixtures, quiet fans, and slip-resistant tile increase safety and comfort. We handle permits, timelines, and trades to deliver clean, precise finishes.
Basement Completion and Expansions
After optimizing kitchens and baths, extending livable square footage produces the largest gains. We plan basement finishing and website additions around structural integrity, waterproofing, and code. First, we examine moisture, slab level, and foundation—addressing cracks, parging, and managing finished rubble during excavation or underpinning. We integrate rigid insulation, continuous vapor control, and quiet, decoupled ceilings. Layouts optimize headroom, storage, and zoning for suites, gyms, or media rooms. You'll get bright, safe spaces with egress windows positioned and dimensioned to meet Ontario Building Code, plus dedicated mechanical ventilation.
For additions, we verify load paths, soils, and utilities, then engineer footing systems, framing, and tie-ins that prevent movement transfer. Expect streamlined permits, precise scheduling, and clean site management. The result: long-lasting, code-compliant square footage that enhances resale value.
The Detailed Remodeling Process
Although every project is one-of-a-kind, our renovation process follows a well-defined, tested sequence that keeps work within timeline and budget. We commence with an initial consultation to establish goals, scope, and priorities. Next, we evaluate costs and conduct budget alignment so expectations align with real numbers. We record site conditions, measure accurately, and highlight constraints early.
Then we develop specifications, material allowances, and a phased schedule. You'll sign off on a transparent proposal with itemized costs and project milestones. We obtain permits, coordinate trades, and stage materials to minimize downtime. During construction, a dedicated project lead oversees quality control, daily progress, and safety. We communicate weekly, track changes in writing, and protect your home. Finally, we conduct walkthroughs, resolve punch-list items, and deliver closeout documents and warranties.
Design-Forward Kitchens That Enrich Daily Living
You improve daily efficiency via ergonomic space organization—strategic work stations, appropriate counter levels, and accessible appliance zones. You then specify premium materials that balance durability and aesthetics, like quartz surfaces, hardwood or large-format porcelain, and integrated hardware. You obtain a kitchen that delivers reliable performance under pressure and retains its modern aesthetic for years ahead.
Ergonomically-Designed Space Planning
As every inch matters in a hardworking kitchen, ergonomic layout planning aligns your work zones—prep, cook, clean, and store—so movement is minimal, safe, and intuitive. We use space zoning to separate tasks and limit cross-traffic, then run circulation mapping to validate walking paths and sightlines. You'll receive optimized work triangles or linear flows tailored to your space's footprint.
We position counter heights to suit your height, specify landing zones alongside appliances, and calibrate aisle widths: 42 inches for one cook, 48 for two. Often-used items sit between knee and shoulder height; heavy pots stay near the cooktop and sink. Corner solutions utilize dead space, while pull-outs and drawer inserts reduce bends and twists. Smart lighting layers focus on tasks, reduce shadows, and enhance accuracy at every station.
High-Quality Material Selection
Even modest material decisions determine how your kitchen functions, endures, and tidies from day to day, so we choose finishes with intention. You receive materials that combine resilience, hygiene, and style. We combine quartz or sintered stone worktops with seamless profiles, heat-set edging, and low-porosity surfaces for effortless maintenance. Cabinetry incorporates long-lasting veneers, marine-grade plywood cores, and soft-close hardware validated for cycle counts.
You'll see environmentally conscious finishes—aqueous lacquers, ultraviolet-cured coatings, sustainably sourced woods—selected for indoor air quality and durability. Flooring may feature wide-plank oak with hardwax oil or porcelain mimicking terrazzo without the upkeep. We select artisanal fixtures in premium brass or steel, with PVD coatings that withstand corrosion and fingerprints. Lighting includes warm-dimming LEDs, ensuring precise color rendering over food prep areas.
Premium Spa-Quality Bathroom Designs Delivering Enduring Quality
How do you turn a daily routine into a retreat? Kick off with performance-driven upgrades that feel indulgent and last. We craft spa-worthy bathrooms around intelligent floor plans, durable finishes, and precision installation. You'll step onto heated floors calibrated for even warmth, then relax under rainfall showers engineered for consistent pressure and coverage. Whisper-quiet ventilation preserves air quality and finishes, while sealed stone, porcelain, and quartz repel moisture and stains.
We use solid-brass fixtures, slow-close hardware, and high-quality membranes behind tile to eliminate leaks. Lighting layers—task, ambient, accent—make grooming effortless and relaxing. Custom niches and vanities optimize storage without overwhelming your footprint. Thorough waterproofing, sloped pans, and epoxy grout minimize maintenance. The result: a peaceful, practical sanctuary that enhances comfort today and holds its value for years.
Full-House Remodeling Customized for You
Although every residence has boundaries, you gain far more when a full remodel is orchestrated as one cohesive plan. We align structure, systems, and style so your home operates as a integrated environment, not a patchwork of rooms. You'll receive customized layouts that maximize circulation, natural light, storage, and sightlines—plus integrated zones for work, wellness, and entertaining.
We map adjacencies, plan electrical and HVAC for future flexibility, and specify durable finishes that maintain visual continuity. Kitchens connect to living spaces while controlling acoustics, bedrooms incorporate intelligent storage solutions, and basements transform from functional areas to livable space. The result is practical luxury: lifestyle upgrades that reduce friction day to day and elevate resale value. Your plan looks polished, progresses intuitively, and aligns with how you truly live.
Local Expertise, Permits, and Time Frames Made Straightforward
That comprehensive plan only operates when it conforms to Markham's codes, inspectors, and construction rhythms. You must have a team that interprets neighborhood zoning like a blueprint and anticipates permit obstacles before they appear. We match your scope to municipal regulations, heritage designations, and environmental restrictions, then submit full applications—designs, technical specifications, sustainability compliance—so approvals proceed rapidly.
We coordinate trades around inspection periods and material procurement deadlines, maintaining precise schedule alignment. If an inspector requests a revision, we pivot same-day and maintain momentum. You'll witness a well-defined route: permit submission, design evaluation, site notification, phased inspections, and completion. We additionally handle utility detection, noise ordinances, right-of-way authorization, and waste disposal. The outcome: minimal unexpected issues, more efficient inspections, and a dependable schedule.

You rely on Contingency budgeting to manage minor setbacks, escalating only when thresholds are exceeded. You keep daily updates, photo logs, and revised schedules, so you minimize risk, preserve quality, and keep the project stable.
What Kind of Warranty Coverage Do You Provide on Workmanship and Materials?
You receive a written Labor Warranty that covers workmanship defects, typically 2 years, with defined response times for post-completion and punch-list issues. We register products to activate manufacturer Material Guarantees and pass them to you, outlining coverage terms, exclusions, and claim procedures. We catalogue finish schedules, installation standards, and maintenance requirements to ensure warranties remain valid. If a failure occurs, we determine the root cause, coordinate manufacturer inspections, and handle replacement or repair services at no additional labor cost.
Is It Possible to Work With My Existing Architect or Designer?
Absolutely, we can. With 82% of projects benefiting from early contractor involvement, you'll gain enhanced collaborative coordination and accelerated decision-making. We'll coordinate with your architect or designer's vision, direct design integration, and coordinate plans, specs, and submissions. You'll have clear RFI channels, shared schedules, and value-engineering solutions without diluting the original vision. We'll organize coordination meetings, track change logs, and ensure constructability so the design seamlessly transitions to site execution, budget, and timeline.
How Do You Limit Disruption and Protect My Property During Construction?
We minimize disruption by containing job sites and preserving finished sections. We establish temporary barriers with zipper doors, apply floor protection from entry to site, and use negative air machines to manage dust. We encase and identify all furniture items, protect stair rails, and cover vents. We arrange noisy tasks during established hours, keep clean pathways, and execute daily site sweep-downs. We store tools each night and offer clear communication so you can prepare with certainty.
