Etobicoke is bungalow country, and bungalows are the best basement-apartment candidates in Toronto. We work from Long Branch and Mimico through Alderwood, Markland Wood and up into Rexdale, converting under-used lower levels into legal second suites and opening tight post-war main floors into single connected rooms.

Most of Etobicoke was built between 1948 and 1968: solid brick bungalows and back-splits on generous lots, with block foundations and original 60-amp services that have usually been upgraded at least once. Ceiling heights in these basements are frequently close to the 1.95 m minimum, so we measure at the lowest duct before anyone gets excited about a rental suite.
Wide side yards and detached garages make Etobicoke one of the easier parts of Toronto to build a separate entrance and stage a full renovation without living in a construction zone.
Permits & approvals — Toronto Building
Etobicoke falls under Toronto Building. Lots here are wide enough that a side walk-up entrance is usually straightforward, which removes the single biggest obstacle to a legal basement in the old city. Lakeshore-adjacent properties may fall within TRCA regulated areas.
