Planning a kitchen, bathroom or a larger renovation in Scarborough? We define the rooms you want to change and what you want to keep. When the work connects several spaces, we coordinate the layout, permits, trades and finishes in one agreed scope. See how we plan a full-home renovation, explore whole-home budget ranges and review the full-home timeline.
Your home should make daily life easier, calmer, and more enjoyable. When the layout feels dated, storage is tight, or finishes no longer reflect your taste, the whole house can feel harder to live in. A well planned home renovation in Scarborough can open rooms, improve flow, and give you spaces that suit how your family actually lives. It is not just about looks. It is about comfort, function, and lasting value.
As a Scarborough renovation company serving homeowners across Toronto and the GTA, we manage the process from design to final walkthrough. You get realistic planning, interactive 3D design, permit coordination, skilled trades, and clear communication throughout the job. Whether you need kitchen and bathroom renovation, basement updates, or a full interior remodel, our team focuses on quality workmanship, clean finishes, and accountability backed by 25 plus years of experience, 2,000 plus completed projects, strong insurance, and a lifetime warranty.
Our published Scarborough underpinning project shows a structural stage of basement work. If floor lowering is part of your renovation, plan the intended rooms, services and finished height alongside it. The structural work alone does not establish the price or approval of a finished apartment.
Scarborough uses Toronto’s permit process. Toronto has a specific underpinning application guide, so distinguish that structural scope from the later basement finishes when preparing the drawings and responsibilities.

The aim is an addition that connects properly to the home you want to keep, with the work and budget understood before the design goes too far.

Start with how you use the kitchen: preparation space, storage, appliance positions and lighting. Keep a layout that works, or plan the plumbing, electrical and adjoining-room changes needed for a new one. Cabinetry, counters and finishes belong in the same agreed scope.
Understand kitchen costs →
Plan the shower or bath, vanity, storage and lighting together with waterproofing and ventilation. Keeping workable fixture locations and moving plumbing are different scopes. We help define the room you want and the work behind the finished tile.
Estimate bathroom costs →
Comfort and approvals belong in the same renovation plan. Review insulation, air sealing, windows and doors alongside layouts and finishes. We help with drawings, permit applications and inspections for the agreed work, so those decisions are made before the affected construction starts.
A kitchen renovation can also affect the dining room, a stair or the services below it. Decide which connections belong in the work before choosing finishes: the rooms you keep matter as much as the rooms you change.
Capable Group brings 25 years of renovation experience to your Scarborough project. We coordinate design, permits and construction for the agreed scope, with one contract, one schedule and one person to call. Free 3D design and permit drawings before you sign help you review the layout alongside a fixed, itemized quote.

These whole-home figures are GTA market planning ranges in Canadian dollars, before HST, not a Capable price list.

Start with the changes that matter in daily use. If the layout and services already work, the budget can go into the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and finishes. Moving walls or services brings a different construction scope. Plan those connections before comparing prices room by room.
What can keep the scope simpler: retain a sound layout, useful cabinetry or finishes where appropriate; keep workable service locations; choose standard products that suit the rooms. If you phase the renovation, plan the connections first so one stage does not close access needed by the next.
What adds work: moving plumbing, opening structural walls, replacing major systems, correcting concealed damage and commissioning custom cabinetry or detailed finishes. A larger price needs an explanation of the work behind it, not just a package name.
A single kitchen, bathroom or basement needs its own scope and budget. Use the relevant guide below, then discuss the rooms and changes you want at your free estimate visit. Kitchen budget guide · Bathroom calculator · Basement calculator.
GTA market planning ranges start from about $100 per renovated sq ft for a finish-led whole-home update, around $175–$300 for more comprehensive work, and above $300 for structural or high-end renovations. An open 1,000 sq ft basement finish starts around $40,000, or about $40 per sq ft, without a bathroom. Benching starts around $38,000 and underpinning around $55,000, before finishing; full bathrooms from about $15,000. A small rear addition of about 250 sq ft has a construction planning starting point around $88,000, before drawings, engineering and permits.
Keeping a sound layout and services usually costs less than moving plumbing or opening structural walls. These are market references, not Capable prices or a quote for this property.
