Home Extension Contractors West Toronto Homeowners Trust
We design and build ground-level extensions that open up your main floor, without the disconnect of hiring separate designers and builders.
Open Up Your Main Floor
A rear or side extension is often the answer when your kitchen feels closed off or your main floor does not flow the way modern families live. We have planned and built extensions across West Toronto for over two decades, managing design, permits, and construction as one team. See recent work in our portfolio.
Extensions Go Wrong When the Details Get Missed
What Usually Goes Wrong
- Drainage and grading issues after construction
- A disconnect between the design and the build
- Permit delays that push back your timeline
- An extension that does not match your home
- Unclear costs once the project is underway
How We Build It Right
- Proper grading and drainage planned upfront
- One team handling design through construction
- Permits and inspections managed in-house
- Materials and finishes that match your home
- A fixed quote before we start building
A Natural Fit for Open-Concept Living
Many West Toronto homes have closed-off kitchens and small back rooms that do not match how people actually want to live today. An extension gives you the square footage to open things up, often paired with an interior redesign of the surrounding space.

Our Home Extension Process
Considering an Addition Instead?

Home Extension FAQs
Do I need a permit for a home extension?
Yes, ground-level extensions require a building permit and typically a zoning review. We manage the full permit process for you.
How is an extension different from an addition?
We use “extension” for ground-level, horizontal expansions and “addition” for second-storey or vertical builds. See our home addition page for that option.
How long does a home extension take?
Most extensions take two to five months depending on scope and permit timelines. We will give you a realistic estimate after assessing your property.
Can I stay in my house during the extension?
Usually, yes, since most extension work is contained to the new structure. We will walk through specifics for your project during planning.
Will the extension match the rest of my home?
Yes, matching your home’s existing materials and character is part of our design process from the start.
