Bathroom Renovation in Markham

A bathroom is small but uses nearly every trade. We rebuild it from the studs out, with proper waterproofing behind the tile and plumbing that suits the new layout. In Markham, the city mixes 1970s and 1980s subdivisions with newer communities such as Cornell and historic cores in Unionville and Markham Village.

Before you start

What to know.

Permits
Replacing fixtures in the same positions usually needs no building permit. Adding a new bathroom or moving drains and vents usually does. Electrical work is filed with the Electrical Safety Authority.
What matters most
The parts you never see decide how long a bathroom lasts: the waterproofing membrane, the slope to the drain and the exhaust fan ducted outside.
Adding a bathroom
A new ensuite or powder room depends on where the drain stack and vents can run. We check that route before drawing the room.
