    First-Floor Additions

    Expand your kitchen and family room or create an in-law suite with a first-floor addition. For those who work from home, adding a dedicated office space can create the perfect environment away from the household bustle.

    Second-Floor Additions

    A second-floor addition allows for more personal spaces like bedrooms, bathrooms, or lounges without sacrificing yard space. This addition is perfect for families needing more living space as it separates private areas from common spaces.

    Two-Story Additions

    For homes that require a significant increase in space, two-story additions can transform a property by adding considerable square footage across two levels. Projects like these not only double your living area but can also enhance your home's curb appeal and functionality.

    Primary Suite Additions

    Imagine a spacious master bedroom with all the trappings of a five-star hotel; that's what our main suite additions can offer. Features might include a custom walk-in closet, a deluxe ensuite bathroom with high-end fixtures, and private access to outdoor spaces. 

    Bump-Out Additions

    Perfect for when you need just a little more space, bump-out additions can extend your kitchen, bathroom, or living room without extensive foundation work. 

    Custom Cottage Additions

    Tailored to fit your specific architectural and design preferences, our custom additions are ideal for those who want something truly unique, including cottage properties that may need a careful touch to blend new spaces with old charm.

    Frequently Asked Home Addition Questions

    Why Consider a Home Addition or Extension?

    Is a home addition a good investment? Absolutely. Expanding your living space provides these benefits and more:

    • Enhance Property Value: Well-planned additions and extensions significantly increase market value. Square footage simply commands a higher price.
    • Change Your Life: More space means more room for your family to live, work, and play. Whether it's a sun-filled breakfast nook, a spacious home office, or an extra bedroom, an addition tailors your home to fit your changing needs.

    • Cost-Effective Alternative to Moving: With the right design and construction team, expanding your current home can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than moving to a new house.

    How Long Does Construction of an Addition Take?

    Construction timelines vary based on the scope of the project, but generally, a simple room addition might take 3-4 months from breaking ground to completion, while more extensive additions could take 6-12 months. We spend several months in design no matter the project. Careful planning pays dividends in smooth construction. We provide a detailed timeline upfront, tailored to your specific project, ensuring you know what to expect at each stage.

    Building an Extension vs. Adding a Room: Which Is Better?
    The decision between building an extension or adding a room depends on your specific needs and the available space on your property. Extensions can offer more comprehensive solutions and greater design flexibility while adding a room is often quicker and less invasive. During our initial consultation, we can help you decide which option best suits your objectives and budget.
    How Much Does a Home Addition Cost?
    The cost of a home addition varies widely based on several factors, including the addition's size, the project's complexity, the materials used, and the location. On average, in Markham, homeowners might expect the cost to range from $275 to $500 per square foot. For a basic addition, such as a single room, costs might start around $70,000, while more complex projects like a two-story addition or those involving high-end finishes could easily exceed $250,000. It's important to consult with a builder early in the planning stage to get a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs and to ensure the project aligns with your budget and home improvement goals.
