Condo Renovations in Scarborough
From the 1960s and 1970s towers of L'Amoreaux to newer buildings in Agincourt and around Scarborough Centre, we plan Scarborough condo renovations around your corporation's rules and the age of your building.
Scarborough Condos, Old and New
Scarborough's condos span six decades. In L'Amoreaux West, 51.5% of homes are in buildings of five or more storeys and 67.5% were built between 1961 and 1980. East L'Amoreaux, where 42.2% of homes are condominiums, has a similar age profile. For suites of that age, we usually recommend pricing the full scope at once rather than room by room, because one approval and one mobilization cost less than several.
In the far north of Scarborough, much of the stock dates from the 1980s and 1990s. In Steeles, 56.0% of homes date from 1981 to 2000, and in Milliken the share is 67.8%. Toronto's Official Plan names Scarborough Centre as one of the city's four Centres, and in Bendale-Glen Andrew, 58.9% of homes are in buildings of five or more storeys and 48.4% are condominiums.
Newer towers are part of the picture too. In Agincourt South-Malvern West, 45.7% of homes are condominiums and 22.9% were built between 2011 and 2021. Whatever the decade, the same condo rules apply: a board that approves the work, plumbing stacks that stay where they are and a City permit for walls or plumbing.

What Shapes a Scarborough Condo Renovation
The rules and building features we plan around in Scarborough.
Who Maintains What
The Condominium Act says the corporation maintains the common elements and each owner maintains their own unit, though the declaration can shift some of those duties.
When the Corporation Steps In
If an owner does not maintain their unit and that creates a risk of damage or injury, the Act lets the corporation do the work and add the cost to that unit's common expenses.
Older Building Systems
In 1960s and 1970s towers we confirm what can change inside the suite before the design is final.
Toronto Permit Fees
Walls and plumbing changes need a City permit, at $11.53 per square metre for interior alterations in 2026.
Board Applications
Approval comes first. We prepare the scope, drawings and insurance paperwork your management office asks for.

Scarborough Condo Renovation Costs
Scarborough suites range from compact one-bedrooms to large older units, so it helps to price by size. Our published ranges for a one-bedroom of 550 to 700 sq ft are $20,000 to $35,000 for a refresh and $45,000 to $70,000 for a full renovation. For a two-bedroom of 750 to 1,000 sq ft, they are $28,000 to $45,000 and $60,000 to $100,000.
Most full condo renovations land between $75 and $200 per square foot, depending on finishes and how much of the unit is touched. Kitec replacement, where we find it, typically adds $5,000 to $12,000, and every estimate is itemized.
