Local Context
Century & Older-Home Renovations in Markham
What is different about older homes
Older houses can hide settling foundations, rubble-stone or undersized foundation conditions, balloon framing, sagging joists, knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized or lead plumbing, plaster-and-lath walls, out-of-level floors, old insulation, and masonry that needs repointing.
If hazardous materials are discovered, abatement should be coordinated with a licensed abatement contractor unless Andare's exact qualification is separately confirmed.
Updating an old house
Andare's in-house designers plan old home renovation around character, light, storage, modern kitchens and bathrooms, better services, improved flow, and finishes that suit the original proportions.
The goal is not to make a 100-year-old home look generic. It is to make it safer, more comfortable, and more useful while protecting the details worth keeping.
Structure, systems and permits
Century home renovation often needs engineers, electricians, plumbers, permit professionals, or specialty trades. Andare coordinates those inputs around a buildable construction sequence.
Process
- Existing-condition and character review
- Structural, systems, and layout planning
- Consultant and permit pathway
- Reinforcement, services, envelope, and rough-in
- Restoration, finishes, kitchens, baths, and trim
- Final walkthrough and handover

Century & Older-Home Renovations in Markham: what shapes the work
Markham includes heritage village areas, tech-corridor communities, newer subdivisions, townhouses, detached family homes, multi-generational households, and established areas such as Unionville, Milliken, Cornell, Berczy, Angus Glen, Wismer, Box Grove, and Markham Village. Common work includes basements, legal-suite review, second kitchens, kitchens, bathrooms, additions, custom homes, storage, home offices, exterior-sensitive renovations, and family-layout improvements.
Markham is outside Toronto, so Toronto zoning language should not be used. Markham projects need local review for zoning, permits, parking, entrances, fire separation, services, grading, trees, heritage context where applicable, and building-code requirements.
Markham homes often need planning for multi-generational use, subdivision layouts, heritage-adjacent work, and family storage. The design should solve everyday function while keeping permit and build requirements clear.
For Markham clients, Andare's design team can shape lower-level use, kitchen and second-kitchen questions, bathroom count, storage, finishes, home-office space, and consultant coordination before the construction plan is set.
Andare supports Markham homeowners across Unionville, Markham Village, Milliken, Cornell, Berczy, Angus Glen, Wismer, Greensborough, Box Grove, Cachet, Cathedraltown, and nearby family communities. Andare keeps century & older-home renovations tied to the home in front of us, not a generic city-wide template.
