Your Scarborough kitchen has been functional for decades — but functional is not the same as working for you. The original oak cabinets from 1987 are dark and the countertop is laminate. The layout was designed for one cook at a time. You need a contractor who knows Scarborough’s housing stock, does not charge a travel premium to reach Agincourt or Wexford, and can give you a real number at the first visit. GoGajic Construction serves Scarborough homeowners with a full in-house crew, same-week estimates, no travel surcharges, and a 5-year warranty on every kitchen project.
Why Scarborough Homeowners Choose GoGajic for Kitchen Renovations
Scarborough homeowners are not a secondary market for GoGajic — they are a core part of the team’s regular work. Our crew does not add a travel charge to reach Kingston Road, Agincourt, or the Bluffs. That matters because many Toronto-based renovation companies quote Scarborough jobs and then add a travel or mobilization surcharge that does not appear until the contract is signed.
Four specific reasons Scarborough homeowners book with GoGajic:
- No travel surcharge. Our crew serves Scarborough at the same rate as central Toronto — the pricing reflects the work, not the postal code.
- Same-week estimates. GoGajic provides site visits within 5 business days and written estimates within 3 business days of the visit. You know the number before you commit to anything.
- 5-year workmanship warranty. Every kitchen GoGajic completes in Scarborough is covered for 5 years on all labour and installed materials — in writing.
- Knowledge of Scarborough’s housing stock. Post-war bungalows, 1960s split-levels, and 1970s detached homes have specific structural and plumbing configurations GoGajic’s crew has seen hundreds of times. When we open a wall in a 1968 Scarborough bungalow, we know what we are likely to find before we start.

How GoGajic Handles Kitchen Renovations in Scarborough
The process for a Scarborough kitchen renovation is the same proven sequence GoGajic runs on every project — adapted for Scarborough’s specific housing conditions.
Step 1 — Site assessment. GoGajic visits the home and assesses the existing kitchen: cabinet structure and condition, plumbing stack location, electrical panel capacity, and subfloor condition. In older Scarborough homes, the subfloor under the kitchen is frequently original plywood that needs reinforcing before new flooring is installed. We identify this before the quote, not on demo day.
Step 2 — Written estimate and design. You receive a written estimate broken down by scope item within 3 business days. If you choose to proceed, GoGajic’s team prepares a cabinet layout and finish specification package before ordering anything.
Step 3 — Permit (if required). Kitchen renovations that involve moving plumbing or electrical require a City of Toronto building permit. GoGajic pulls the permit as part of the project scope. For cosmetic renovations staying in the same configuration, no permit is required.
Step 4 — Demolition and rough-in. The existing kitchen is removed. Electrical and plumbing rough-in work is completed and inspected before walls close. In Scarborough homes with older wiring, circuit upgrades to support modern kitchen appliances are frequently required at this stage.
Step 5 — Cabinet installation, tile, and finish. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and fixtures are installed in sequence. GoGajic manages the complete installation — no subcontractors who are unfamiliar with the project.
Step 6 — Final walk-through. Every item on the deficiency list is resolved before the final payment is released. GoGajic does not consider a project complete until the homeowner has walked through every detail.
If your budget is between $25,000 and $45,000 and you want to know specifically what is achievable in your Scarborough kitchen, request a free estimate and GoGajic will visit within the week.
Kitchen Renovation Pricing for Scarborough Homeowners
Scarborough kitchen renovation costs are the same as Toronto-wide pricing — there is no suburban discount or premium. A cosmetic renovation runs $15,000–$25,000. A full mid-range kitchen renovation (new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, updated plumbing and electrical) runs $28,000–$52,000. A high-end renovation with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and structural changes runs $55,000–$80,000+.
For a detailed breakdown of what each budget tier covers — including a line-item cost table for a mid-range Toronto kitchen — see the kitchen renovation cost guide for Toronto. Scarborough homeowners should budget the same figures and add a 15–20% contingency reserve for older homes where mechanical surprises are common.
Scarborough Neighbourhoods We Serve
GoGajic serves the full Scarborough geography without travel surcharges. Our crew regularly works across these Scarborough communities:
- Agincourt and Tam O’Shanter — 1970s detached and semi-detached, frequent full kitchen rebuilds
- Wexford and Maryvale — post-war bungalows with original galley kitchens, high demand for open-concept conversions
- Birchcliff and Cliffside — 1950s and 1960s homes along Kingston Road, frequent cabinet replacement and countertop upgrades
- Scarborough Bluffs and Guildwood — mix of older detached and newer infill; varied scope and budget range
- Malvern and Rouge — 1980s and 1990s builds, often cosmetic updates rather than full rebuilds
- West Hill and Port Union — lakeside community, mix of bungalows and newer builds
We also serve Scarborough homeowners adjacent to North York along Sheppard Avenue East, and along Lawrence Avenue East into the Golden Mile area.
What Scarborough Homeowners Ask Before Booking a Kitchen Renovation
Does GoGajic charge extra to come to Scarborough?
No. GoGajic does not add a travel or mobilization surcharge for Scarborough projects. The estimate you receive is based on the scope of work — not the distance from downtown Toronto. Our crew operates across the full GTA at the same rate structure.
My Scarborough house was built in 1972. What should I expect to find on demo day?
In a 1972 Scarborough home, GoGajic typically finds: original plywood subfloor that may need reinforcing, plumbing in galvanized steel that is corroding (especially under the sink), and kitchen wiring on a 15-amp circuit that does not support modern appliances. None of these are problems — they are standard scope items for that era of construction. GoGajic identifies and prices them before demo day, not after.
How long will a kitchen renovation take in my Scarborough home?
A full mid-range kitchen renovation in a Scarborough home takes 4 to 6 weeks from demolition to final walk-through, assuming the permit is in place before work begins and no significant structural surprises are found on demo day. GoGajic provides a written timeline as part of the project agreement. If something unexpected extends the timeline, you are notified immediately — not at the end.
GoGajic has completed kitchen renovations throughout Scarborough for over a decade. The same-week estimate means you know the real cost before you commit. Call 647-914-2150 or request a free kitchen estimate for your Scarborough home and get an appointment this week.
