From the Lakeshore to Etobicoke Centre

Humber Bay Shores is about as condo-focused as a Toronto neighbourhood gets. In the 2021 census, 91.9% of its homes were in buildings of five or more storeys and 86.2% were condominiums. The City's Motel Strip Secondary Plan set the framework for this waterfront community on Lake Ontario, between Mimico Creek and the Humber River, and much of what stands there is recent: 47.5% of homes were built between 2011 and 2021.

That age profile changes the conversation. In a suite of that vintage, the case for renovating tends to be about upgrading rather than repairing: replacing a builder-standard kitchen, adding proper storage, swapping a tub for a walk-in shower and choosing finishes that suit you rather than the sales centre.

Away from the lake, the stock is more varied. Toronto's Official Plan names Etobicoke Centre as one of the city's four Centres, and in the neighbourhood the City calls Etobicoke City Centre, 85.1% of homes are in buildings of five or more storeys. Markland Wood, in the west end of Etobicoke, is older: 74.1% of its homes went up between 1961 and 1980, so suites there often need a deeper scope.

Local Expertise

Local Factors in an Etobicoke Condo Renovation

What we check before we price an Etobicoke suite.

Balconies Belong to the Corporation

The Condominium Authority of Ontario explains that balconies are owned by the corporation but used exclusively by the owner, so changes there go through the board.

When Other Owners Get Notice

For exclusive-use areas, the Act lets the board skip notice to other owners only if, among other tests, the change will not hurt other units, cost the corporation money or detract from the building's appearance.

Engineer Certificates

Where an exclusive-use change touches the building's structure, the Act calls for an engineer's certificate that structural integrity is not affected.

Toronto Permits

Wall changes and new or modified plumbing need a City permit, while cabinetry, insulation and fixture replacements do not.

Newer Waterfront Buildings

With 47.5% of Humber Bay Shores homes dating from 2011 to 2021, we price many waterfront projects as upgrades of original finishes.

Stacks and Slab Ceilings

Wet areas stay close to existing drains, and lighting is planned for concrete ceilings from the start.

Good to Know

Etobicoke Condo Renovation FAQs

What does a condo renovation cost in Etobicoke?
A refresh is typically $20,000 to $40,000, a mid-range renovation with kitchen, bathroom and flooring $40,000 to $75,000, and a full gut $75,000 to $150,000 or more. Two-bedroom full renovations typically run $60,000 to $100,000.
How does board approval work for my Etobicoke condo?
Each corporation sets its own process. The Condominium Authority of Ontario notes that some require a formal application, insurance information from contractors and inspections before and after the work. We assemble the application and deal with your management office.
Can I change my Humber Bay Shores balcony?
Balconies are exclusive-use common elements owned by the corporation, and the Condominium Authority of Ontario says most owner-proposed changes need board approval and a section 98 agreement. We can prepare the request, but the decision rests with the board.
Do I need a permit for my Etobicoke condo renovation?
Etobicoke is part of Toronto, so City rules apply. Moving walls or installing or modifying plumbing needs a permit, and plumbing fixtures in condo buildings are $30.94 each in 2026. Cabinetry and like-for-like fixture replacement do not need one.
Can you renovate older suites in Markland Wood?
Yes. Most Markland Wood homes were built between 1961 and 1980, so we open walls expecting earlier repairs and settle the electrical and plumbing scope before quoting a full renovation.
