Country Renovations Inc. has served Etobicoke homeowners since 2014, working everywhere from the lakeside cottages-turned-homes of Mimico and New Toronto to the large-lot ranch bungalows of Princess-Rosethorn and Markland Wood. Etobicoke’s character ranges from compact post-war houses in Alderwood to spacious mid-century detached homes on tree-lined crescents, and that variety is exactly why so many renovations here are about unlocking a home’s hidden potential. We are HCRA-registered, fully licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, so every Etobicoke project meets current Ontario building standards.

What homes in Etobicoke are like
Etobicoke is dominated by single-storey and one-and-a-half-storey post-war bungalows sitting on unusually wide, deep lots — a setup that makes second-storey additions and generous rear extensions far more practical here than in the denser core. Closer to the lake in Mimico and Humber Bay you will find a growing stock of condos alongside older detached homes, while neighbourhoods like Markland Wood feature sprawling mid-century houses that are prime candidates for full interior modernization. Common projects include raising bungalows into two-storey family homes, finishing the deep basements these houses were built with, and updating original 1950s kitchens and baths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a second storey to my Etobicoke bungalow?
In most cases, yes. Etobicoke’s wide post-war lots and as-of-right zoning often allow a full second-storey addition, though projects that exceed height or setback limits need a Committee of Adjustment minor variance. We assess your lot, pull a zoning certificate, and manage the permit process from start to finish.
What is a typical renovation project in Etobicoke?
A very common request in Alderwood and Long Branch is converting a tight post-war bungalow into a bright, open main floor while finishing the basement into an income-generating second unit — a smart move given Etobicoke’s strong rental demand near the GO and lakeshore transit.
How long does an Etobicoke kitchen renovation take?
A full kitchen renovation in Etobicoke typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on whether walls are being removed and how much electrical and plumbing needs upgrading in an older home. We confirm a firm schedule before any demolition begins.
