About Toronto's Renovation Market
Toronto is Canada's largest renovation market by permit volume. Established neighbourhoods undergoing generational turnover — Leslieville, Etobicoke, Leaside, and the North York corridor — drive above-average kitchen and bathroom permit activity. Addition permits are growing as homeowners add secondary suites and rear additions rather than move.
