Worry-Free Home Additions

Sometimes renovating or remodeling isn’t always the ideal solution for every concern in your home, particularly when the problem is insufficient living space or storage room.

Let us bring your new space to true form, and make your old home new again.

Transformative Garage Conversion

Garage’s are often misused, and can become a wasted space over time. These large spaces hold so much potential, but sometimes it may be difficult to envision your garage as a beautiful, functional space.

We often encourage homeowners to consider a garage conversion when thinking about a home addition because they are already built and take much less time constructing. They do require permits, inspections and electrical work, but are a resourceful and smart choice.

Here are some popular garage conversion ideas:

• A child’s playroom
• A studio apartment or guest suite
• An art studio or hobby room
• A practical home office
• A spacious family room for entertainment and gatherings

Second Story Additions

Homeowners often struggle with envisioning second-storey additions because of the extreme lack of space and high population in the GTA. However, not only are second-storey additions possible, they are revolutionary. Expanding upward with a second-storey addition often presents a practical solution for more space, customization, enhanced curb appeal and the architectural design of your home.

Key information to know going into a second-storey addition:

• Consultations: Assessing if the existing foundation can support the new structure, potentially requiring reinforcement of load-bearing walls.
• Budgeting for a new roof: We will need to remove the existing roof to accommodate the construction of your new floor, necessitating the installation of a new roof.
• Preparing for temporary relocation: Due to the complexity and length of these projects, you, your family and any pets will need to temporarily relocate, bringing all belongings with you.
• Anticipating extra time: These projects can sometimes discover mold, water damage or other issues within the home that require fixing, extending the project length.
