Most renovations in Toronto — especially in older homes around Etobicoke — start with some amount of interior demolition. Here's how to tell if that's true for your project.
1. You're changing the layout
Moving or removing walls always requires demolition first, and often a permit depending on whether the wall is load-bearing.
2. There's water damage or mold
Damaged drywall, subfloor, or insulation needs to come out before any new finishes go in — patching over it just hides the problem.
3. You're gutting a bathroom or kitchen
Full renovations almost always start with stripping the room to the studs so plumbing and electrical can be inspected and updated.
4. The space has outdated materials
Older Toronto homes sometimes have materials (tile, flooring, even insulation) that need professional removal and disposal.
5. You're converting commercial space
Office and retail interior demolition is common when a Toronto business is renovating or changing use — this needs to be scoped and cleared before any build-out starts.
