Most Etobicoke homeowners have had at least one bad renovation experience.
A contractor who disappears mid-project. Surprise costs after you've already committed. Tile work that leaks within two years because there was no proper waterproofing behind it. That's the norm in this industry. and it's exactly what Pilkowski Custom Renovations was built to fix. Every project comes with a written scope, a line-by-line quote, and certified waterproofing with a 10-year warranty. No surprises.

Etobicoke-specific experience
What Etobicoke Bathrooms Actually Need
Etobicoke's housing stock is dominated by post-war bungalows and ranch-style homes from the 1950s and 1960s. What's behind a bathroom wall depends on the decade. Here's what we encounter regularly in Etobicoke homes and how we handle it.
Etobicoke post-war bungalows from the 1950s and 1960s almost always have tile set directly over drywall or plaster with no moisture barrier. We start fresh with Wedi Pro certified waterproofing on every project.
1950s and 1960s Etobicoke homes often have galvanized steel supply lines that are corroded or undersized. We assess plumbing honestly and price any required work clearly before we begin.
Etobicoke bungalows with basement bathrooms often have tight ceiling heights. We plan the layout and drain configuration carefully upfront so there are no surprises during the build.
A 45 sq ft bathroom in a Leslieville semi leaves zero room for error. Layout planning, tile sizing, and fixture selection all matter more when space is limited. We've done hundreds of these.
Building management requirements, noise restrictions, approved work hours, elevator coordination. We handle it all across Toronto's condo buildings, regularly.
Every project starts with a line-by-line written quote. If something unexpected comes up during demolition, we tell you immediately and get approval before proceeding.
No waterproofing behind the original tile.
In homes built before the 1980s, tile was set directly over plaster or wood with no moisture barrier. When we open these walls we start completely fresh with Wedi Pro certified waterproofing.
Outdated plumbing is common.
Galvanized steel pipes from the 1920s to 1960s are often corroded. Cast iron drains require modification for modern fixtures. We assess plumbing honestly before we begin.
Knob and tube wiring is still present in many homes.
Pre-war Toronto homes often have knob and tube electrical near the bathroom. We coordinate with licensed electricians and work it into the scope properly.
Tight spaces require real tile expertise.
