Etobicoke kitchens are still closed off from the rest of the house
Most of the kitchens we rebuild in Etobicoke sit in post-war bungalows and 1960s–1980s side-splits: a galley or L-shape against the back wall, a dining room on the other side of a load-bearing wall, and a panel that was never sized for a modern oven and dishwasher. Royal York and the Kingsway add older plaster and wiring. Mimico and Long Branch add narrower lots where an island only works if the sink stays put. Etobicoke is 20 to 35 minutes from our Mississauga shop, with no travel surcharge.

Etobicoke neighbourhoods and what we find there
Kitchen Renovation in Royal York & Alderwood
Bungalows and splits with the kitchen at the back. Opening it to the living room usually means a beam and a Toronto Building permit. Panels from the 1960s often need a dedicated circuit before the new range goes in.
Kitchen Renovation in The Kingsway
Larger older houses. Plaster walls, original trim worth keeping, and kitchens that were sized for a cook, not an island. We open walls carefully and price electrical updates up front.
Kitchen Renovation in Mimico & Long Branch
Smaller lots and semis. A full cabinet rebuild in the existing footprint is the usual scope; an island only fits when the room is already wider than about 10 feet.
Kitchen Renovation in Islington & The Queensway
A mix of post-war houses and later infill. Builder oak from the 1980s and 1990s is the cabinet we replace most often here.

Kitchen Renovation questions - Etobicoke
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Etobicoke?
A kitchen renovation in Etobicoke runs $25,000–$50,000. A cabinet-and-counter refresh in the existing footprint starts around $18,000. A full rebuild that moves the sink and needs a permit lands at the top of that range. Projects above $50,000 are typically beyond our usual scope. Opening a load-bearing wall is a separate line, usually $15,000–$35,000.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Etobicoke?
A cabinet-and-counter refresh takes 2–3 weeks. A full rebuild in the same footprint takes 3–4 weeks, and a layout change that moves the sink takes 4–5 weeks. When plumbing or a wall moves, Toronto Building (Etobicoke York district) permit review adds time before demolition, and we put that in the schedule.
Do I need a building permit in Etobicoke?
Yes when a wall is removed or moved, plumbing is relocated or added, new electrical circuits go in, or a basement is finished with a bathroom or a separate unit. Like-for-like replacements in the same positions usually do not need a building permit, though electrical work still goes through ESA. We prepare drawings, file with Toronto Building (Etobicoke York district), and book every inspection.
Do you charge extra to work in Etobicoke?
Etobicoke is 20 to 35 minutes from our Mississauga shop via the Queensway or the 427. Where we call the area regular, there is no travel surcharge. Where we quote case by case, the commute is a line inside the proposal, not a fee added after you sign.
Can you open my Etobicoke bungalow kitchen to the living room?
Often, yes. In a lot of these bungalows the wall between the kitchen and the living room carries the ceiling joists. That is a beam, an engineer's drawing, and a Toronto Building permit, priced as its own line so you can see what the opening costs before you commit.
