A little extra space
makes a big difference

 
 

We know it’s not always practical to move, especially if you’re enjoying living in your current home. But if you’re looking to add extra square footage - for an office, a workout area or storage space - then an addition could be the ideal solution for you.

 
 

Second Storey

A second storey is a great way to add additional living spaces or larger bedrooms while contributing to a more comfortable home environment. And a second storey also makes the house look like it’s always been that way as the old is seamlessly tied in with the new.

Garage

The addition of a garage offers multiple solutions for your family. It’s a place to park and protect the car or a spot for the kids’ toys and family recreation gear. It can even be used as an area to set up a workshop that also stores tools and equipment.

Bump Out

Think of a bump out as adding a little more space to an existing room. We often find people are looking for ways to expand their kitchens or great rooms to create an open concept throughout their main floor. Bump outs offer endless options for expanding your space.

FAQs

 

What’s the best kind of addition: remodel or new build?

This really depends on the type of addition you are planning to do. A second storey (while increasing costs) can add significantly more space while offering more lifestyles options. Depending on the space you wish to add, additional labour may be required as well. You also need to be sure that your home is structurally sound and can support an addition. And whether remodeling or a custom new build, we recommend including the specialty services of architects and designers.

Where do I start when considering an addition?

The first thing to ask yourself is what do you want to accomplish? What are the reasons for adding on to your current home? Are you looking for more living space? More room for activities or perhaps a home office? Is your family expanding or do you need more storage space? Do you have a timeline in mind? And, structurally speaking, can your house or property accommodate an addition? We can help you answer these questions which will then help determine your best plan of action.

Who needs to be involved in my project?

We recommend that you work with a professional company that has experience in home additions. Architects and designers provide assessments that serve as the foundation for deciding what your addition will look like, how it will function and how it can become an extension of your current home. A contracting company handles all the details and helps ease the stress of having to make multiple decisions while managing budgets, schedules and trades.
