Fire restoration across Scarborough
Scarborough is the eastern part of Toronto, and it covers a lot of ground: the waterfront and Bluffs at Birch Cliff and Guildwood, post-war bungalows around Wexford and Scarborough Village, the busy residential streets of Agincourt and Malvern, and high-rise apartment corridors along Kennedy and Eglinton. A fire in any of them leaves smoke and water that spread beyond the room where it started.
Markham Fire Restoration handles the cleanup and the rebuild, starting with a free assessment. Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, so your fire was attended by Toronto Fire Services, which the City reports deploys from 84 fire stations. We pick up where the fire service finishes.
Bungalows, split-levels and finished basements
Many Scarborough streets are lined with single-storey bungalows and split-level homes, a large share with finished basements and, often, a second unit. Smoke from a main-floor fire travels down stairwells and into basement ceilings, and the water used to put out a fire drains into the lower level. Rental units below the main floor add people who need somewhere to stay and a landlord who needs records.
We photograph each level and document damage separately, so that the main-floor owner, a basement tenant and an insurance adjuster can each see what applies to them.

- RebuildWalls, ceilings, flooring and finishes are replaced.
Apartment towers and condominiums
Scarborough has numerous apartment buildings and condominium towers, where a kitchen fire in one suite can leave smoke damage in the corridor and the units above. Access depends on building management, elevators and fire safety systems. We coordinate with property managers, set out what is needed in each suite and protect common areas when moving equipment through them.
Residents often cannot return home until the suite has been cleaned and tested. We aim to keep that period short by working in a planned sequence, and we explain each step so that tenants know what to expect.
Useful things to do after a Scarborough fire
- Ask the fire service whether the building is safe before entering.
- Write down the incident number if the fire service gives you one.
- Call your insurer and tell them a restoration company has been contacted.
- Keep receipts for meals and lodging.
- Do not throw out damaged items until they have been photographed.
