Leslieville's 1890s–1920s worker cottages and Victorian homes demand a contractor who understands what lies behind the walls — outdated plumbing, undersized baths, and decades of previous work stacked on original structure. Kopman Build has been delivering full gut bathroom renovations across Toronto's east side since 1999, built to last in homes that already have.
Leslieville's rapidly gentrifying east-side streets are lined with Victorian detacheds and semis — homes with real architectural character that deserve renovation work to match. Bathroom renovations in these homes routinely surface original cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines, and subfloor damage that a less experienced contractor will either miss or address with shortcuts. We assess every condition upfront, price it honestly, and fix it properly.
The neighbourhood's active renovation market means local homeowners are comparing quotes. What separates Kopman Build is not the lowest number — it is the accuracy of that number, the thoroughness of our pre-construction assessment, and a track record that goes back to 1999. Dustin Kopman grew up working in construction through his family's firm, G&G Enterprise, and that hands-on background is reflected in how every Leslieville project is supervised and executed.
From a compact main bath in a worker cottage on Wardell Street to a primary ensuite addition on a fully renovated Victorian on Booth Avenue, we manage every trade, every material decision, and every inspection milestone — so you do not have to.

Bathroom renovation costs in Leslieville are consistent with broader Toronto pricing: powder rooms $18,000–$40,000; main bathrooms $30,000–$70,000; primary ensuites $50,000–$150,000+. In Leslieville's Victorian detacheds and worker cottages, full gut renovations are common — older plumbing and hidden water damage can add scope, which is why we inspect thoroughly before finalizing your estimate.
Leslieville's 1890s–1920s worker cottages and Victorian semis often have original cast-iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines, and bathrooms built into spaces never intended for modern plumbing. We regularly uncover knob-and-tube wiring, inadequate ventilation, and subfloor rot from decades of undetected moisture. We assess all of this upfront so there are no surprises mid-project.
Plumbing relocation and structural changes to bathroom walls require City of Toronto permits, which applies to Leslieville like all Toronto neighbourhoods. Many Leslieville renovation projects also involve updating outdated drain and supply lines as part of a gut renovation, which triggers permit requirements. We manage all permit applications and inspections on your behalf.
A standard bathroom renovation in Leslieville takes 4–8 weeks once scope is confirmed and materials are on order. Full gut renovations in older Victorian homes — which often involve replumbing, new subfloor, and updated electrical — can run 8–12 weeks. We build a realistic schedule at the outset and provide weekly progress updates throughout.
