Markham bathrooms are most often renovations of homes built between 1990 and 2010 — generous primary ensuites with corner tubs and 1990s tile, family bathrooms shared by multiple kids, and a powder room near the front entry that has aged faster than the rest of the house. The brief usually covers all three at once on a Berczy Village or Cornell project: a primary suite reset, a family bath gut, and a quick powder room refresh on the same construction window.
Markham Building runs a clean residential permit process for bathroom plumbing and electrical work. Standard permits run 4 to 8 weeks. Unionville Heritage Conservation District projects add a Heritage Permit if the work affects exterior elements, which on a bathroom usually means a window change or a new exhaust termination.
Markham pricing in 2026 sits at the GTA average. A guest bathroom or powder room lands $20,000–$35,000; a primary ensuite with custom vanity, freestanding tub, and full-tile shower runs $40,000–$75,000.
