Full Home Renovations in Markham
Trusted full home renovations across Markham
Ironhorse Contractors renovates and builds throughout Markham, balancing respect for its historic cores in Unionville and Markham Village with the demands of master-planned communities like Cornell and Berczy.
Markham pairs protected heritage districts — Unionville's Main Street and Markham Village — with large master-planned communities such as Cornell, Berczy Village, and Cathedraltown. Preserved 19th-century homes define the historic cores, while contemporary detached homes and townhomes fill the newer communities. That mix shapes how we approach full home renovations here — every project is scoped to the home or space in front of us, not a template.

Local considerations
Structural work in Markham — full home renovations included — requires building permits from the City of Markham Building Standards Department and must respect local zoning for setbacks, lot coverage, and height. Properties near ravines, creeks, valleys, or the shoreline may also need approval from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), and homes in heritage areas can face additional design review.
