Long Branch is one of Etobicoke's most compelling renovation markets — lakefront premiums are rising, and the neighbourhood's mix of early cottages and postwar homes offers genuine upside for owners willing to invest. Kopman Build has delivered kitchens, basements, and whole-home transformations throughout southwest Etobicoke for over 25 years.
Long Branch sits at the western edge of Etobicoke's lakefront, and its housing stock tells the full story of the neighbourhood's evolution: early seasonal cottages converted to year-round residences, compact postwar bungalows and semis, and newer infill filling in the gaps. Renovating here requires a contractor who can read aging structure, navigate City of Toronto permits, and understand the market forces that determine where your renovation dollars will pay off.
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.
Full kitchen remodels from layout changes to custom cabinetry, countertops, and appliance packages — designed to match Long Branch's evolving market expectations.
Primary suites, main baths, ensuites, and powder rooms — complete gut-and-rebuild or targeted upgrades in homes of any age.
Legal secondary suites, family rooms, home offices, and full basement renovations to Ontario Building Code — including underpinning where ceiling height demands it.

Yes. Long Branch falls under the City of Toronto's jurisdiction, so structural renovations, additions, basement conversions, and most significant alterations require building permits through the city. Kopman Build manages the full permit process — applications, inspections, and sign-offs — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Long Branch has one of Etobicoke's most varied housing stocks — from early lakeside cottages converted to year-round homes, to postwar bungalows and semis, to newer infill builds. We have experience across all of these types: aging foundations, knob-and-tube electrical, undersized framing, and the structural considerations that come with homes originally built as seasonal properties.
Long Branch is one of the stronger renovation ROI markets in southwest Toronto right now. Lakefront and near-lake properties are commanding increasing premiums, and the gap between unrenovated and renovated homes in the area is significant. Kitchen and basement projects in particular are delivering strong returns. We can help you identify where to invest for the best outcome.
A full basement finish in Long Branch typically takes 10–16 weeks from permit approval to handover. Older homes may require underpinning or waterproofing work that adds 4–8 weeks to the schedule. We assess existing conditions during our pre-construction process and build realistic timelines before committing to a start date.
