Scarborough · Est. 1999

Renovation Contractor Wexford

Wexford is a Scarborough neighbourhood defined by solid 1950s and 1960s bungalows and semis — homes with great bones that respond exceptionally well to thoughtful renovation. Kopman Build has been upgrading kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in homes like these for over 25 years, bringing the same discipline to a Wexford Heights semi that we bring to our largest projects across the GTA.

Why Wexford homeowners choose Kopman Build

Wexford's postwar bungalows and semis sit on generous lots and were built to last — but decades-old kitchens, bathrooms, and unfinished basements leave real value on the table. Renovating these homes means understanding their structural character: load-bearing walls in unexpected places, aging mechanical systems, and basements that need proper waterproofing before finishing. Kopman Build brings that local knowledge, backed by 400+ completed projects across Toronto and the GTA.

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. In Wexford's active renovation market, that distinction matters for your investment and your resale.

  • Bungalow and semi expertise. We know the structural particulars of 1950s–1960s Scarborough homes — low-slope roofs, split-level configurations, and load-bearing walls that require careful planning before any layout change.
  • Kitchen and bathroom updates. We replace dated finishes and inefficient layouts with contemporary, functional spaces sized right for the proportions of your original build — without over-renovating for the street.
  • Basement finishing. Wexford bungalows typically have full-height basements ideal for family rooms, home offices, or legal secondary suites. We handle permits, waterproofing, egress, and finishes from start to handover.

Questions about renovation contractor wexford

How much does a renovation cost in Wexford?

Kitchen renovations in Wexford bungalows and semis typically run $55,000–$130,000 depending on layout changes and finish level. Bathroom renovations range $22,000–$65,000. Basement finishing in a Wexford bungalow averages $60,000–$120,000 for a full legal suite. We provide detailed pre-construction estimates before any commitment.

Do I need a permit to renovate my Wexford bungalow?

Yes, most structural work, basement conversions, and additions in Wexford require a City of Toronto building permit. Kitchen and bathroom cosmetic updates generally do not, but any plumbing relocation or wall removal does. Kopman Build manages the full permit process — applications, engineer coordination, inspections, and sign-offs.

How long does a kitchen renovation take in Wexford?

A typical kitchen renovation in a Wexford home takes 8–12 weeks from start to handover. If structural work or permit-required changes are involved, allow 12–16 weeks. We build realistic schedules during pre-construction and track progress openly throughout.

Can you finish the basement of a 1950s Wexford bungalow?

Absolutely. Wexford's postwar bungalows typically have full-height basements well-suited to finishing as family rooms, home offices, or legal secondary suites. We assess insulation, waterproofing, headroom, and egress requirements upfront so there are no surprises mid-project.

Is renovating a Wexford bungalow a good investment?

Wexford is an active renovation market with strong demand for updated 1950s–1960s bungalows and semis. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades consistently deliver strong resale returns, and a finished basement adds usable square footage at a fraction of the cost of an addition. Kopman Build can help you prioritize renovations for the best return on your specific property.
