High Park's 1910s–1940s homes demand a contractor who understands older construction — original subfloors, cast-iron stacks, and heritage character worth preserving. Kopman Build has been delivering premium bathroom renovations in Toronto for over 25 years, and we know exactly what these homes require to do the work properly.
Bathrooms in High Park's older homes come with hidden complexity. Behind the walls of a 1920s semi-detached you'll find galvanised supply lines, undersized drain stacks, and subfloor assemblies that need assessment before a single tile is laid. Skipping that assessment — or working with a contractor who doesn't recognise the issue — is how expensive water damage starts. Kopman Build opens walls with a full understanding of what we're likely to find and a plan for every contingency.
The park proximity that makes High Park desirable also means property values reward a renovation done to a genuinely high standard. We build bathrooms that hold up technically and hold their value in this market: proper Schluter membrane waterproofing, correctly set tile, plumbing that doesn't leak, and finish work consistent with the premium character of the neighbourhood.
Dustin Kopman founded the company in 1999 after growing up in construction through his family's firm, G&G Enterprise. Every project in High Park is managed by someone who understands the craft at a trade level — not just the sales conversation.

Bathroom renovation costs in High Park reflect the premium character of the neighbourhood and the complexity of working in 1910s–1940s homes. Powder rooms run $20,000–$45,000; main bathrooms $35,000–$75,000; primary ensuites $55,000–$160,000+. Older homes often require updated plumbing stacks and subfloor repairs before finish work begins, which we account for in our estimates.
Yes. The 1910s–1940s homes throughout High Park typically have cast-iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines, and original subfloors that must be assessed before any renovation begins. We inspect existing conditions thoroughly, advise on what needs to be upgraded for code compliance and longevity, and integrate new plumbing and waterproofing without compromising the character of the home.
Plumbing relocation, changes to the drain stack, and any structural modifications to bathroom walls require City of Toronto building permits. In High Park's older housing stock, plumbing relocations are common when modernising bathroom layouts. A straight fixture-for-fixture replacement may not require a permit, but we review each project individually and handle all permit applications on your behalf.
A standard main bathroom renovation in High Park takes 5–8 weeks once scope and materials are confirmed. Primary ensuite renovations with custom tile, steam showers, or freestanding tubs typically run 8–12 weeks. Older homes can add time if hidden conditions — deteriorated subfloors, outdated plumbing — are uncovered during demolition. We build realistic schedules and communicate any changes promptly.
