Country Renovations Inc. has been renovating Scarborough homes since 2014, from the back-split and side-split subdivisions of Agincourt and Wexford to the established bungalows perched above the Bluffs in Cliffside and Birch Cliff. Scarborough is largely a story of 1950s through 1970s suburban housing on roomy lots, and these solid, well-built homes respond beautifully to thoughtful updates. We are HCRA-registered, fully licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, so every Scarborough renovation is delivered to current Ontario standards.

What homes in Scarborough are like
Scarborough’s housing stock leans heavily toward back-splits, side-splits, and detached bungalows built during the postwar suburban expansion, many with the multi-level layouts and compartmentalized rooms that were popular at the time. These homes typically sit on generous lots with full-height basements, making them ideal for opening up cramped split-level floor plans, finishing basements into legal apartments, and adding rear or second-storey space. Original kitchens, single bathrooms, and aging electrical panels are the most frequent things we modernize across the borough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to finish my Scarborough basement?
Finishing a basement that adds bedrooms, a bathroom, or a separate dwelling unit requires a City of Toronto building permit, and a legal second unit must meet fire-separation and egress requirements. Scarborough’s deep suburban lots and full basements make these conversions very achievable, and we handle the permit drawings and inspections for you.
What is a typical renovation project in Scarborough?
A common project in Agincourt and Wexford is reworking a dated split-level so the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together, paired with a finished lower level used as an in-law suite — a great fit for the multi-generational families common throughout Scarborough.
How long does a Scarborough home addition take?
A rear or second-storey addition in Scarborough generally runs 4 to 9 months from design to completion, with permits and any Committee of Adjustment variance being the most variable part of the timeline. We give you a realistic schedule before work starts.
