Restaurant Renovations in Markham
Trusted restaurant 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 restaurant renovations here — every project is scoped to the home or space in front of us, not a template.
