Home Renovation in Leaside, Toronto

Leaside’s tree-lined streets are filled with solid post-war bungalows and two-storey family homes — the kind of housing stock that’s ideal for renovation rather than teardown. Growing families in Leaside are among the most common reasons we get called: a kitchen that no longer fits how the household cooks and gathers, a basement sitting unfinished, or a home that’s simply run out of space.

iRemodel Home Renovation Toronto has spent over 20 years helping Leaside families get more out of their homes without leaving the neighbourhood they love.

Renovation Services We Provide in Leaside

• Kitchen renovations — family-focused layouts, islands, and updated cabinetry
• Basement renovation — turning unfinished basements into livable family space
• Home additions — second-storey additions for growing households

Local Considerations

Most Leaside renovations involving structural changes, additions, or basement egress windows require a standard City of Toronto building permit, which our team manages on your behalf from application through final inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we stay in our Leaside home during a kitchen or basement renovation?
In most cases, yes. We sequence the work to minimize disruption and keep at least part of the kitchen functional where possible during a partial renovation.

What basement improvements add the most value for Leaside families?
Finished basements with a full bathroom, proper egress, and flexible living space tend to add the most day-to-day value and resale appeal in this neighbourhood.

Is it worth adding a second storey to a Leaside bungalow instead of moving?
For many families, yes. A second-storey addition can add significant living space while keeping you in the neighbourhood, often at a lower overall cost than buying and moving to a larger home.

Do you help with layout planning, or just the construction?
We handle both. Our team works with you on layout and material choices before construction starts, so the finished space matches how your family actually plans to use it.
