Kitchen Renovation in Leaside

Leaside’s post-war bungalows and two-storey family homes were mostly built with closed-off, compartmentalized kitchens that don’t match how a modern family actually uses the space. iRemodel Home Renovation Toronto works with Leaside families to open up these layouts and design a kitchen that works for everyday cooking, homework at the island, and everything in between.

What’s Involved in a Leaside Kitchen Renovation

Leaside kitchen projects most often involve:

• Removing a wall between the kitchen and adjoining dining or living room to create an open-concept family space
• Adding or enlarging an island for seating, prep space, and storage
• Updated cabinetry and layout that improves workflow without necessarily expanding the kitchen’s footprint

Kitchen renovations typically take 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope, and most projects in the GTA range from $20,000 for a refresh to $60,000 or more where structural changes are involved.

Local Considerations for Leaside Properties

Removing a wall in a post-war bungalow often means assessing whether it’s load-bearing, which is common in Leaside’s original floor plans. Structural changes require a City of Toronto building permit, which our team manages from application through final inspection.
