Home renovation in Etobicoke covers the most varied housing stock in the GTA. Pre-war detached homes in The Kingsway, post-war bungalows in Alderwood, waterfront condos along Humber Bay, and 1970s subdivision homes in Markland Wood. Each of these has a different renovation pattern. Home additions are particularly popular in Etobicoke because lot sizes in established neighbourhoods support rear and second-storey additions.
Etobicoke Neighbourhoods We Cover
- The Kingsway: Heritage pre-war detached homes with mature trees. Custom kitchen renovations, primary ensuite expansions, and respectful additions that match the original architecture.

Home Additions in Etobicoke
Etobicoke is one of our busiest areas for home additions because lot depths often allow rear additions and bungalows are common candidates for second-storey work. The most common Etobicoke addition projects:
- Two-storey rear additions adding kitchen and family room downstairs, primary bedroom upstairs
- Full second-storey additions on Alderwood bungalows
- Side bump-outs to expand kitchens or primary ensuites
- Sunrooms at the back of the house

Heritage Considerations in The Kingsway
Some Kingsway streets have heritage designations or are within heritage conservation districts. This affects exterior changes (roof line, windows, cladding, and additions visible from the street). Interior renovations are generally not affected. We confirm heritage status during the estimate.
What an Etobicoke Client Recently Said
"Had a second-floor addition done on our bungalow in Etobicoke. The structural work was complex but they managed the whole process including permits. Added 800 sq ft and it looks like it was always there." - James T., Etobicoke
