Home Addition Contractors Serving West Toronto

Home Addition Contractors West Toronto Families Choose

We design and build additions that give your growing family real extra space, without the guesswork of coordinating separate architects and contractors.

More Space, Without Moving

When your family outgrows your home, an addition is often the better move than relocating, especially if you love your street and your neighbourhood. We plan and build additions across West Toronto under one roof, from the first sketch to the final inspection. Browse examples of our work in the portfolio.

Additions Fail When Design and Construction Are Not Connected

A lot of addition projects go sideways because the architect, the permit expediter, and the builder are three separate parties who are not always talking to each other. Here is what that usually causes, and how we avoid it.

What Usually Goes Wrong

How We Build It Differently

Second-Storey or Ground-Level, We Plan for Both

Some additions make the most sense going up, others going out. We will walk you through the zoning and structural realities for your specific lot before recommending a direction. If a ground-level rear addition fits your goals better, take a look at our home extension services as well.

Not Sure If You Need an Addition or a Full Renovation?

Many families start by exploring an addition and end up folding it into a larger whole-home renovation. Our architectural design and planning service is a good starting point if you are still exploring options.

Home Addition FAQs

Do I need a permit for a home addition?

Yes, home additions require a building permit and typically a zoning review. We handle the entire permit process in-house.

We generally use “addition” for second-storey or vertical additions and “extension” for ground-level, horizontal expansions. See our home extension page for that option.

Most additions take three to six months depending on scope, zoning approval times, and the season. We will give you a realistic estimate once we have assessed your property.

Often, yes, since most of the work happens on the addition itself. We will walk you through what to expect for your specific project.

Yes, matching your home’s existing character is part of our design process, so the addition feels original to the house, not tacked on.

We focus on West Toronto, including High Park, Roncesvalles, and Bloor West. See our About Us page for more.

Emmett was wonderful to work and I knew I could trust him with my project from our very first conversation. He managed our home renovation that included a custom kitchen where we had to take out a chimney and put in a structural beam. We added heated floors to our entryway and mudroom, installed new hardwood floors throughout, renovated two bathrooms and lowered the basement bathroom floor. The results were beyond my expectations and I would work with Emmett again in a heartbeat.

Emmett and his team helped my wife and I with the timely renovation of our third bedroom in time for the arrival of our first child. They also replaced three bedroom doors, installed a new bannister in our main stairwell, and painted. Throughout the project, I found Emmett and his team to be highly responsive and attuned to our needs, always going the extra mile to ensure that we were happy. We were able to move quickly and trust them to make decisions when we wished to step back, but were also encouraged to provide input and guidance every step of the way. This project was particularly challenging because we were living onsite during the renovation, and I felt that they made every effort to keep the space as tidy as possible for us. Ashford Homes uses a project management software called CoConstruct that makes communicating with their team easy and efficient. We always felt like we were a priority when communicating with Paul, our project manager, and were able to advise and provide input at various crucial stages of the project. The team was particularly receptive to the various minor tweaks that came up as we neared completion of the project, which is a big plus. My wife and I are very pleased with the result of our renovation. I highly recommend Emmett and his team to anyone.

Emmett worked with us on a 3 floor renovation of our older High Park home and we couldn't be happier. We had 2 structural walls removed, main floor kitchen completely demo'd and rebuilt, bedrooms modified on the 2nd floor and the entire 3rd floor gutted and rebuilt, including adding a 3 piece bathroom. His workflow made tracking progress easy, and he followed through with us whenever there was an issue that required a change in plans. His trades were reliable and professional, and the finishing touches have withstood years of abuse with no issues! I have a porch reno planned for this spring and will be meeting Emmett on Sunday to plan how we are going to get it done. Never considered calling anyone else.

We worked with Ashford homes to renovate a large three unit rental property. It was a century home, and they helped us bring it into the modern era while still keeping some of the beautiful features. They added 3 insuite laundries, 3 kitchen overhauls, 3 bathroom renovations. Additionally they did flooring, painting, new HVAC, asbestos abatement, in-ground plumbing and some electrical. The place looks great, and the tenants love it! Emmett and his crew were easy to work with; they always communicated issues pro-actively and gave options, and also use a software to track the schedule and the communications. Emmett has a solid sense of fairness and accountability, we appreciated his honest and transparent style. We will definitely work with them again in the future!

I've worked with Ashford Homes for over 13 years for several large and small renovations. They have always completed their work for me on time and on budget. Emmett and his crew are very responsive and a pleasurer to work with. They turned a house with offices and an awkward layout into a lovely single family home.
