Rear additions, second storeys and bigger kitchens in Headon Forest and across Burlington, with the drawings and permits handled by us.
A Headon Forest family needed more room on the main floor. We built a rear extension, moved the kitchen into the new space, opened up the main floor and rebuilt the stairs.
A closed-in oak kitchen with dated tile, cut off from the rest of the floor.
The extension framed to the engineer's drawings on a new foundation, inspected before it closed in.
An open main floor with the new kitchen and island, light floors throughout and the stairs rebuilt with black pickets.

“Elijah and Daniel did a fantastic job on our home addition. Highly recommend them for any renovation project. We hired them because we felt like they were genuine and professional. They completed our project in 2 months, a home addition, kitchen, and two bathrooms.”
“Took all of our ideas and made our dream come true. Super thankful to have found a company like this and a bonus is that it’s a family business.”

Costs, permits, timing and local details, for when you want the full picture.
Most additions we build cost $120,000 to $350,000+ before HST. Where yours lands depends on its size, whether it's one storey or two, the foundation, and how much of the existing house changes with it.
We price your addition after a visit, with the drawings, engineering and permit included.
An addition isn't always the answer. Here is how we help Burlington homeowners decide, before anyone draws a plan.
| If this is you | Usually the right move | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| You need one more room | An addition, or finishing the basement if it has the height | Basements cost far less per square foot when they work |
| The kitchen is too small | Opening the main floor first; an addition if the walls you'd remove don't give enough room | Opening up is usually cheaper than building out |
| You need a whole extra floor of space | A second storey over the existing house | Needs an engineer to check the foundation and walls below |
| You want to stay in the neighbourhood | An addition, compared honestly against the cost of moving | Land transfer tax, fees and moving costs add up fast |
Burlington's zoning by-law sets how close an addition can come to the lot lines, how much of the lot you can cover and how tall it can be. We check your lot before design starts.
If the design needs more than zoning allows, it goes to the City's Committee of Adjustment for a minor variance. That adds time, so we plan for it in the schedule.
Structural drawings and an engineer's design for the foundation, beams and roof, then a City of Burlington building permit and inspections at each stage.
Near a creek or ravine, Conservation Halton may need to approve the work too. We find out before you commit.
Most additions we build fall in the range shown above, before HST. Size, one or two storeys, the foundation and how much of the existing house changes decide where yours lands. We price it after a visit.
Usually two to four months on site, after design, drawings and the permit. Zoning variances add time before we start.
Yes. An addition needs a City of Burlington building permit with structural drawings, and sometimes a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment. We handle both.
Often, yes. An engineer first checks that the foundation and walls can carry it, and we plan how you'll live in the house during the work.
That's the goal of the design. We match rooflines, windows and exterior finishes so it looks like part of the original home.
Usually, when the basement has the height and you need a room rather than a bigger main floor. We'll tell you honestly at the first visit.
