Concrete Forming & Foundations in Scarborough
Our home turf. Your foundation.
Scarborough is where North Star Forming was built, and it remains the community we know best. From the Bluffs overlooking Lake Ontario to the residential streets of Agincourt and Malvern, Scarborough's landscape is as varied as its housing stock. The area's mix of post-war bungalows, split-levels, and newer custom builds means every foundation project comes with its own set of conditions.
What we build in Scarborough.
Scarborough's terrain can be challenging. The eastern sections near the Rouge Valley and Highland Creek have variable soil conditions that require careful footing design. Multiplex construction is accelerating along Kingston Road and in Wexford, while homeowners throughout the borough are adding garden suites and extensions to their properties. Front porch and stair replacements are a constant need, especially on the older homes south of Lawrence.
