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
What Usually Goes Wrong
- A design that does not match zoning rules
- Permit delays between separate parties
- An addition that feels tacked on, not built in
- Budget surprises once construction starts
- No one taking ownership of the finished result
How We Build It Differently
- Zoning and code checked before we design
- One team handling design, permits, and build
- Additions designed to match your home's flow
- A fixed quote before construction begins
- One point of contact throughout the project
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.

Our Home Addition Process
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.
What is the difference between an addition and an extension?
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.
How long does a home addition take?
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.
Can I stay in my home during construction?
Often, yes, since most of the work happens on the addition itself. We will walk you through what to expect for your specific project.
Will my addition match the rest of my house?
Yes, matching your home’s existing character is part of our design process, so the addition feels original to the house, not tacked on.
What areas do you build additions in?
We focus on West Toronto, including High Park, Roncesvalles, and Bloor West. See our About Us page for more.
