Markham’s housing stock ranges from established neighbourhoods like Unionville and Thornhill to newer developments in Cornell and Berczy Village, so bathroom renovation needs here vary widely. Older homes often need a full teardown and rebuild of dated bathrooms, while newer homes tend to need layout refinements, upgraded finishes, or custom vanities to match a higher-end aesthetic.
iRemodel has spent 20+ years designing and building custom bathrooms for homeowners across the GTA, including Markham. We manage every stage of your renovation — design, materials, trades, and finishing — so you get a bathroom built around how you actually use the space.

How the Renovation Process Works
Every custom bathroom project follows a similar sequence:
- Consultation and design — we review your space, goals, and budget together
- Material and fixture selection — tile, vanities, and finishes are confirmed before construction begins
- Permits and scheduling — we coordinate applications and trades where required
- Construction — demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, tiling, and installation
- Final walkthrough — we go through the finished space with you before wrapping up
Most bathroom renovations take two to four weeks. Custom builds involving layout changes or structural work generally take longer.
Permits for Bathroom Renovations in Markham
Bathroom renovations don’t always require a permit, but projects involving plumbing relocation, structural changes, or new electrical work typically do. The City of Markham’s Building Permit Process page explains which projects need a permit and outlines the application steps. All work must also comply with the Ontario Building Code, which sets minimum construction and safety standards across the province. iRemodel handles the permit process on your behalf whenever your project requires one.
Planning Your Budget
Costs for a custom bathroom depend on layout complexity, materials, and the finishes you choose. Our guide to budgeting for a bathroom renovation breaks down where costs typically concentrate and where you have flexibility. Before your first consultation, it’s worth reading our step-by-step bathroom remodel planning guide as well, so you walk in with a clear sense of priorities.
If you’re planning more than one room, take a look at our kitchen renovation services too — many Markham homeowners combine both projects to reduce overall disruption to the household.
