Stonegate-Queensway's postwar bungalows and Lakeshore bungalows along the Queensway corridor are among Etobicoke's most addition-ready housing stock — compact footprints on generous lots that respond well to second-storey and rear expansions. Kopman Build has been building home additions across Etobicoke since 1999, managing every stage from feasibility through final occupancy permit.
Stonegate-Queensway sits in one of Etobicoke's most active bungalow renovation markets. Owners of postwar and Lakeshore bungalows along the Queensway corridor are increasingly choosing home additions over moving — a sound decision given land values and the quality of the existing neighbourhood. Second-storey additions in particular are in high demand here, doubling usable living area while keeping the property's footprint and lot coverage intact.
Dustin Kopman founded the company in 1999 after growing up working in construction through his family's firm, G& G Enterprise. That hands-on background is reflected in how every Stonegate-Queensway project is run: direct owner involvement, full permit management, and open-book cost tracking from day one.
Three things matter most to homeowners adding onto a bungalow in this neighbourhood: structural compatibility with the existing build, accurate permitting under Etobicoke's zoning rules, and architectural integration so the addition reads as part of the original home. Kopman Build handles all three.
Full second-storey additions on Stonegate-Queensway bungalows — the most common addition type in this neighbourhood, doubling living space without expanding the lot footprint.

Converting attached or detached garages into living space, home office, or income-generating rental units — common on postwar lots in this area.
Smaller-scale additions — mudrooms, sunrooms, bump-outs — designed to blend cleanly with the existing bungalow architecture.

In Stonegate-Queensway, a second-storey addition on a postwar bungalow typically runs $320,000–$600,000+ depending on the existing structure, scope, and finishes. A rear addition runs $200,000–$400,000+. Lakeshore bungalows along the Queensway corridor are well-suited to both project types. Kopman Build provides detailed pre-construction estimates before any commitment.
Most postwar bungalows in Stonegate-Queensway can support a second-storey addition, but a structural assessment is required to evaluate the existing foundation and framing. Kopman Build coordinates this assessment during pre-construction, and our team has extensive experience working on the bungalow stock throughout Etobicoke's Queensway corridor.

Kopman Build manages all permit applications and approvals from start to finish.
From initial consultation to occupancy, most home additions in Stonegate-Queensway take 12–20 months in total.
