Your Etobicoke home was built to last — but the kitchen, bathroom, and basement are stuck in a different decade. GoGajic Construction provides full renovation services to Etobicoke homeowners, from Alderwood bungalows to Kingsway detached homes to Long Branch lakeside properties. Same-week estimates, no travel surcharges, and a 5-year warranty on all work.
Why Etobicoke Homeowners Choose GoGajic Construction
Etobicoke’s housing stock is distinct. Mid-century bungalows, 1960s back-splits, and larger detached homes built across decades — each requires a contractor who knows what is behind the walls before opening them up. Here is why Etobicoke clients hire us:
We know Etobicoke homes. A 1950s bungalow in Alderwood has different structural realities than a 1990s detached home near Centennial Park. Back-splits in Richview need creative solutions for room transitions. Older Etobicoke properties may have original hardwood under layers of flooring — worth preserving if you know to look. We have renovated kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in every Etobicoke home type and we understand what each one demands. For a deeper look at what a kitchen project involves, see our full custom kitchen renovation services.
We are close by. Our team operates from 131 Minerva Ave in Toronto. We reach anywhere in Etobicoke — south of the 401, west of the Humber — in 30 minutes or less. Same-week site visits are standard. There is no travel surcharge on your estimate. Etobicoke is core territory.
Pre-renovation realities handled upfront. Older Etobicoke homes may need asbestos testing before demolition, electrical panel upgrades, or plumbing stack replacements. We identify these during the site visit and include any required work in your estimate. No surprises after the walls are open.
600+ projects completed across the GTA. Etobicoke kitchens, bathrooms, and basements make up a significant portion of that number. The work on our project page includes real Etobicoke renovations — bungalow kitchen guts, bathroom expansions, and basement underpinning jobs.
5-year workmanship warranty. If a cabinet door loosens or a tile cracks in year three, we fix it. This is in writing and it applies to every Etobicoke project.
In-house team. Our carpenters, tilers, and installers are employees — not subcontractors running multiple jobs. The person measuring your kitchen installs it. The person prepping your bathroom subfloor tiles it. This consistency keeps timelines intact and quality predictable.
How We Handle Renovations for Etobicoke Homes
The renovation process does not change from project to project — but the specific conditions of your Etobicoke home shape how each step is executed.
1. Site visit within 3 to 5 business days. You call or fill out the form. We come to your Etobicoke home and spend up to an hour measuring, inspecting, and identifying anything that will affect the project. Older bungalow? We check for asbestos-containing materials, knob-and-tube wiring remnants, and cast iron plumbing. Back-split? We look at how room transitions are framed and where load-bearing points sit. These findings shape your estimate and your timeline.
2. Design and engineered drawings. We produce floor plans, elevations, and 3D renderings specific to your home’s dimensions. If your project involves removing walls or changing the footprint, we generate engineered drawings in-house. For full home remodels across the GTA, this phase covers every room in scope.
3. Detailed estimate with line items. You receive a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and any pre-renovation work identified during the site visit. Numbers are locked unless you change the scope. No allowances that double in cost later.
4. Permits filed by us. Etobicoke falls under Toronto Building. We submit all applications, schedule inspections, and ensure work passes before walls are closed. You do not touch paperwork.
5. Contained construction. The work area is sealed with barriers. Dust stays inside the zone. For attached homes or semis common in south Etobicoke, we manage noise timing and site cleanliness so your neighbours are not complaining by week two.
6. Installation and finishing. Our in-house crew handles cabinets, millwork, tiling, flooring, and finishes. For basement finishing and underpinning in older Etobicoke homes with lower foundations, we use specific framing and drainage approaches that keep the space dry and usable. Every project ends with a walkthrough and a completed punch list.
Most Etobicoke homeowners find a 15-minute phone call is enough to get a preliminary number and timeline. We offer free site visits and deliver a written estimate within 48 hours — call 647-914-2150 or book using the form on this page.
Renovation Pricing for Etobicoke Homeowners
Renovation costs in Etobicoke are determined by your home type, project scope, and material selections. Here are the ranges from completed Etobicoke projects:
Kitchen renovation — $25,000 to $65,000. An Alderwood bungalow kitchen with mid-range cabinets and laminate countertops lands near the lower end. A full Kingsway kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartzite counters, an island with seating, and wall removal reaches the upper end. Back-split kitchens often fall in the $35,000 to $50,000 range depending on how many levels the kitchen spans and whether structural changes are needed.
Bathroom renovation — $15,000 to $40,000. A three-piece bathroom or powder room with standard finishes starts around $15,000. A master ensuite with a custom double vanity, glass shower, freestanding tub, and heated floors can reach $40,000 in a larger Etobicoke home. Older bathrooms often require plumbing upgrades — we identify this at the site visit.
Basement renovation — $20,000 to $60,000. Finishing an open basement with drywall, flooring, lighting, and a bathroom starts near $20,000. Adding a separate entrance, kitchenette, multiple rooms, or underpinning a low foundation pushes costs toward the upper end. Etobicoke bungalows with 6’6″ to 7′ ceilings need specific solutions — underpinning or creative ceiling treatments — that affect budget.
Every estimate is specific to your home and your selections. These ranges are based on real Etobicoke project data, not GTA averages.
Neighbourhoods We Serve Within Etobicoke
We work across every Etobicoke neighbourhood. Alderwood and its well-built 1950s bungalows. The Kingsway, where larger homes demand higher-end finishes and more complex structural work. Richview and its back-splits and side-splits. Long Branch and Mimico, where lakeside properties and older detached homes are being renovated block by block. Islington Village, Eatonville, Princess-Rosethorn, and Markland Wood — wherever you are between the Humber River and the Mississauga border, our team comes to you.
We also serve Mississauga and Oakville for clients near the western GTA boundary.
What Etobicoke Homeowners Ask Before Booking
My home was built in the 1950s. Do I need to worry about asbestos?
Yes, and we handle it. Homes built before the 1980s in Etobicoke may have asbestos in drywall compound, floor tiles, insulation, or ceiling texture. If your renovation involves demolition, we recommend testing before work begins. We coordinate a certified testing lab, and if asbestos is found, we bring in a licensed abatement contractor before our crew touches the area. This is factored into your estimate — not a mid-project discovery that inflates your cost.
Can you preserve original features — hardwood floors, trim, or brickwork?
Yes. Many Etobicoke bungalows and older detached homes have original oak or maple flooring, solid wood trim, and brick accent walls worth keeping. We discuss what you want preserved during the site visit and work around those elements. Protecting original hardwood during a kitchen renovation means running floor protection and working carefully around transitions. It adds some labor but the result is a home that keeps its character with modern function where it counts.
How close are you really — and does distance affect the quote?
Our team is based at 131 Minerva Ave in Toronto, roughly 25 to 30 minutes from central Etobicoke. We reach south Etobicoke near the lake just as quickly. Distance does not affect your quote — there is no travel line item. The number on your estimate reflects your project, not our drive time.
