Princess-Rosethorn's custom 1950s and 1960s bungalows sit on some of the most generous lots in Etobicoke — and they reward thoughtful renovation. Kopman Build has worked in this premium neighbourhood for over two decades, delivering full-scope renovations and major additions that respect the character of the street while transforming the homes within.
Princess-Rosethorn is one of Etobicoke's most sought-after addresses — a premium enclave where renovation ambition runs high and execution standards must match. The mid-century bungalows here were individually designed, which means every project demands its own reading: structural conditions vary house to house, and the quality of original construction shapes every decision that follows.
The large lots that define this neighbourhood open up a full renovation and addition market that simply does not exist in denser parts of the city. Rear additions, second-storey additions, and significant footprint expansions are all achievable scopes here — provided the contractor understands Etobicoke zoning and brings the coordination capacity to see complex projects through.
Dustin Kopman founded Kopman Build in 1999 after years working in construction through his family's firm, G&G Enterprise. That hands-on background means every project is led by someone who understands the craft — not just the contract.
Full kitchen remodels tailored to the open-plan potential of Princess-Rosethorn's bungalow layouts — custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and integrated appliance packages.
Primary suites, main baths, ensuites, and powder rooms — complete gut-and-rebuild or targeted upgrades to match premium Etobicoke resale expectations.
Full basement renovations, legal secondary suites, home theatres, and recreation rooms built to Ontario Building Code on Princess-Rosethorn's solid mid-century foundations.
Rear additions, side additions, and full second-storey additions that take advantage of Princess-Rosethorn's generous lot sizes — designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing structure.
Multi-phase, whole-house renovations managed as one coordinated project — one team, one schedule, one point of contact from demolition to handover.
Experienced with the specific conditions of 1950s–1960s custom builds: aging electrical, cast-iron plumbing, and structural systems requiring careful assessment before opening walls.

Princess-Rosethorn is a premium Etobicoke enclave, and renovation budgets reflect it. Kitchen renovations on these custom bungalows typically run $80,000–$180,000+. Full main-floor renovations range from $150,000 to $400,000. Major additions and whole-home transformations can reach $500,000–$1,200,000+ depending on scope and finish. We provide detailed pre-construction estimates before any commitment.
Yes. Princess-Rosethorn falls under the City of Toronto's building permit jurisdiction. Structural work, additions, basement conversions, and changes to mechanical systems all require permits. Many lots in the neighbourhood also have setback and lot-coverage considerations that require zoning review before an addition can proceed. Kopman Build manages the full permit and zoning process on every project.
The generous lot sizes in Princess-Rosethorn open up options that are not feasible in denser parts of Toronto. Rear additions, side additions, detached garage additions, and full second-storey additions are all common scopes we execute in this neighbourhood. We work with architects and engineers who understand Etobicoke zoning to maximize what your lot allows.
A single-storey rear addition typically runs 6–9 months from permit approval to completion. A full second-storey addition can take 10–16 months. Whole-home renovations combined with an addition can extend to 18–24 months for complex projects. We build detailed schedules before construction begins and track them rigorously.
Yes. The custom bungalows in Princess-Rosethorn were built with quality materials but present the typical challenges of mid-century construction: knob-and-tube wiring, cast-iron drain stacks, older insulation, and structural systems that need assessment before opening walls. Kopman Build's 25+ years of experience in Toronto's postwar housing stock means we anticipate these conditions and price and plan for them upfront.
