Scarborough's bungalows have something inner-city Toronto lots do not: the width to build a proper second floor. GYRM adds second storeys throughout Scarborough — fully permitted, fixed price.

Permits Fully Managed
Organized Residential Project Management
Many Scarborough homeowners eventually outgrow their existing layout but prefer to remain in the neighbourhood they already know and enjoy.
A second floor addition can help create additional living space, improve functionality, and modernize the home while allowing families to remain in their existing community.
Every property is different, which is why planning and site assessment are important early in the process.
Many Scarborough properties may offer opportunities for second floor additions depending on zoning, structural conditions, and project goals
Property access, lot configuration, existing construction, and neighbourhood considerations can all influence the planning and construction process.
GYRM Construction works with homeowners throughout Scarborough and Toronto to help coordinate planning, permits, engineering, and residential construction services based on the specific needs of each property.
Every second floor addition project is different depending on the property, structural requirements, permits, design plans, finishes, and overall project scope.
Older homes, lot access, zoning requirements, and neighbourhood-specific conditions may all influence planning and construction considerations.
A consultation and site review help determine the appropriate planning approach for the property and renovation goals.
We visit your Scarborough property, review the existing structure, and walk you through scope, zoning, timeline, and a realistic cost range.
Structural engineering confirms foundation and framing capacity. Drawings are produced and submitted to the City. All permit applications are managed by GYRM.
The existing roof is removed and temporary weatherproofing is installed. New floor structure, exterior walls, and roof are framed and inspected.
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are extended to the new storey, roughed in, and inspected.
Insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, and fixtures are installed. Exterior is matched to the original home. Final walkthrough with you before close-out.
