We have a lot of new members joining the forum lately as home renovation research moves more and more to community-based platforms. Welcome to everyone new!
This thread is for introductions — tell us about yourself, your home, and what you’re planning.
To get started, share:
- Neighbourhood or area in the GTA
- Type of home (detached, semi, condo, etc.) and approximate age
- What you’re renovating or planning to renovate
- Where you are in the process (just thinking / actively getting quotes / mid-project)
Why this community is different
Unlike review aggregator sites, everything here is community-generated discussion. You can ask follow-up questions, get multiple perspectives, and search for contractor names to see what previous homeowners have said.
The forum is connected to LF Builders (https://lfbuilders.ca) — one of Toronto’s longest-running renovation companies with 50+ years and 30,000+ projects. You’ll also find community members from across the GTA sharing real experiences.
