renovation contractors in Scarborough.
There are 49 renovation companies listed on Google Maps in Scarborough. 48 of them put a website on the listing, and we opened every one of those 48 ourselves. Here is what was behind them.
1 of the 48 Scarborough sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 47 had at least one of the faults listed above, and most had more than one. (Scarborough is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give Scarborough as their address.)
What they are built on
5 platforms,
no clear winner.
Behind the 48 sites we counted 5 platforms. The split says something about budget: 31% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 1 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 25 of them.
25 of the 48 renovation companies we opened in Scarborough share the same fault: no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. 22 have a second one on top of it — page title does not name the city they work in. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.
If you own one of these 48 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 25 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.
Who you are up against
39 reviews
from the top five.
The spread in Scarborough is wide: from under 12 reviews in the bottom quarter to 105 at the top, with the middle at 21. 1 of the 49 renovation contractors have passed a hundred.
Scarborough is the 3rd largest market for renovation contractors in our survey of the GTA, with 49 of them against 703 across the region. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside renovation contractors.
What this means for you
7 sites in Scarborough
do not load at all.
We requested every one: 7 renovation companies in Scarborough have a website on their Google listing that is dead or parked, and 9 more load but visibly have not been touched in years. Google still sends people to all of them.
Where a renovation contractor lands depends on how many services need a page of their own — $590 at the small end, $3,900 for a practice with a dozen. Nothing is due until it is finished. Full pricing.

Questions
Straight answers.
How many renovation contractors are there in Scarborough?
49 listings, of which 1 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 48 are either missing a site, running a broken one, or running one with at least one fault we could see from outside.
How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Scarborough?
To be average in Scarborough you need 21. To be in the top quarter you need more than 38. To be visible next to the busiest renovation contractor here you would need 105, which took them years. 43 of the 49 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a renovation contractor in Scarborough cost?
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the practice and how many services need their own page, paid after the site is built and you have seen it. Hosting, edits, your Google Business Profile and ongoing SEO run $129 to $990 a month, cancellable any month.
