Ajax homeowners trust Kopman Build to bring their 1990s and 2000s suburban homes into the next chapter. As Durham Region's housing stock reaches renovation age, we deliver the kitchen, bathroom, basement, and whole-home transformations these properties deserve — on schedule and on budget.
Ajax sits at Durham Region's western edge, and its residential neighbourhoods were built largely during the 1990s and 2000s. Those homes — detached two-storeys, semis, and townhomes on established lots — are now reaching the age where original kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems need more than cosmetic attention. Kopman Build understands the construction era intimately: the framing conventions, the original finishes, and the upgrades that deliver genuine value in this market.
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 means every project is managed by someone who understands the craft — not just the sales pitch. Durham Region homeowners get the same rigour we apply across the GTA, matched to the specific context of their property.
Full kitchen remodels from layout changes to custom cabinetry, countertops, and appliance packages — tailored to the open-concept potential of Ajax's suburban floor plans.
Primary suites, main baths, ensuites, and powder rooms — complete gut-and-rebuild or targeted upgrades, including fixture and tile replacement in aging 1990s bathrooms.
Legal secondary suites, family rooms, home offices, and full basement renovations to Ontario Building Code — maximizing the generous footprint found in many Ajax detached homes.
Rear additions, second-storey additions, and garage conversions designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing structure and neighbourhood streetscape.
Multi-phase, whole-house renovations managed as one coordinated project — one team, one schedule, one point of contact throughout.
Coordinated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical upgrades for homes whose original systems are now 20–35 years old and due for replacement.
We visit your 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.
We manage all permit applications, engineering consultants, and approvals — nothing falls through the cracks.
Full-time site supervision, weekly updates, and open-book cost tracking throughout the project.
Structured handover with all documentation, warranties, and a 12-month attendance window post-completion.
Kitchen renovations in Ajax typically run $55,000–$130,000+. Bathroom renovations range $20,000–$65,000. Basement finishing for the typical Ajax detached home runs $60,000–$120,000. Whole-home renovations on a 1990s–2000s suburban property often range from $200,000 to $600,000 depending on scope and finish. We provide detailed pre-construction estimates before any commitment.
Yes. Structural renovations, additions, basement conversions, and most mechanical upgrades in Ajax require building permits through the Town of Ajax Building Services department. Kopman Build manages the full permit process — applications, inspections, and final sign-offs — so homeowners don't have to navigate the approvals on their own.
The majority of Ajax's housing stock consists of 1990s and 2000s detached and semi-detached homes built during Durham Region's rapid suburban expansion. These properties often share similar floor plans, finished or unfinished basements, and aging mechanical systems now due for replacement. Kopman Build is experienced with the construction methods and materials common to this era and routinely updates kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in these homes.
A kitchen renovation typically takes 8–12 weeks. A bathroom 4–8 weeks. A full basement finish 10–16 weeks. Larger whole-home projects can run 6–18 months. We build detailed schedules at the pre-construction stage and hold to them throughout the project.
Yes. Homes built in Ajax during the 1990s and 2000s are now 20–35 years old, and many have original HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems approaching end of life. During renovation planning we assess the condition of existing systems and coordinate licensed trades to upgrade them where needed — ensuring the finished renovation is built on a sound foundation.
