Davisville Village's 1920s–1950s brick homes and bungalows have character worth preserving — and kitchens that deserve a complete rethink. Kopman Build brings 25 years of Toronto renovation experience to midtown's most active bungalow market, delivering open-concept conversions and custom kitchens that respect the original architecture.
Davisville Village sits at a unique intersection: a midtown neighbourhood of older brick homes where buyers are actively investing in renovations, steps from the Davisville subway station and the urban amenities that make the area so desirable. Kitchens in these homes were designed for a different era — small, closed off, and disconnected from the rest of the house. Opening them up is the renovation Davisville homeowners want most.
The older housing stock here brings specific challenges. Many walls are load-bearing. Plumbing and electrical systems date to original construction. Ceiling heights, floor levels, and structural assemblies vary from house to house. Kopman Build has worked through every one of these conditions in midtown Toronto homes since 1999 — we know what to expect and we build schedules and estimates that account for it.
Our founder Dustin Kopman grew up in construction and manages every project with hands-on oversight. When your kitchen is open to the studs in a 100-year-old Davisville bungalow, that experience is what keeps the project on track.
Removing load-bearing walls in Davisville bungalows and semis to open kitchens to dining and living areas — structural work, permits, and all.
Semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry fitted precisely to the often-irregular layouts of older midtown homes — storage-optimized and built to last.
Quartz, granite, marble, butcher block, and porcelain slab — sourced, templated, and installed by our team in any kitchen configuration.
Precision tile installation including subway, large-format, herringbone, and custom patterns that complement the character of Davisville homes.
Integrated and panel-ready appliance installation — electrical, plumbing, and ventilation coordinated for older homes requiring service upgrades.
Under-cabinet lighting, task lighting, pot lights, and full electrical panel upgrades for kitchens in homes with pre-war wiring.
We visit your Davisville Village property, listen to your goals, and document the project in writing — scope, budget, and timeline.
A detailed line-item estimate with allowances and contingencies, so you know the number before committing — including structural and permit costs where applicable.
We manage all permit applications, engineering consultants, and approvals — critical in older homes where structural changes require City of Toronto sign-off.
Full-time site supervision, weekly updates, and open-book cost tracking throughout the project — no surprises in century-old walls.
Structured handover with all documentation, warranties, and a 12-month attendance window post-completion.
In Davisville Village, kitchen renovation costs depend on the scope of work in your home. A cosmetic refresh — new countertops, hardware, and paint — typically runs $15,000–$35,000. A mid-range renovation with new cabinetry, countertops, and updated plumbing runs $60,000–$110,000. A full open-concept conversion with structural work, custom cabinetry, and premium finishes in a 1920s–1950s brick home often runs $120,000–$250,000+. We provide a detailed line-item estimate before any commitment.
Many Davisville Village bungalows and brick semis were built with load-bearing walls separating the kitchen from the dining or living area. Opening up these kitchens requires an engineer-stamped beam design and a City of Toronto building permit. Kopman Build manages the structural assessment, engineering consultant, and permit application as part of the project — we've done this many times in midtown's older housing stock.
A full kitchen renovation in a Davisville Village home typically takes 8–14 weeks once materials are on-site. If structural changes and permits are required — common in this neighbourhood's older homes — allow an additional 3–6 weeks for permit acquisition. Custom cabinetry lead times of 6–12 weeks mean early planning pays off.
Yes. Many of our Davisville Village clients live in their homes during renovation. We phase work to minimize disruption, establish clear site boundaries, and coordinate trades to keep the project moving efficiently. Our proximity to transit and the midtown core also makes Davisville Village sites straightforward for our crews to reach and staff consistently.
