A Toronto home owners guide to home additions

Choosing the right home addition

Maximize Your Toronto East Home with Expert Additions by Woodsmith Construction Inc.

At Woodsmith Construction Inc., we understand that your home is more than just a place to live; it’s a reflection of your lifestyle and a canvas for your dreams. Home additions in Toronto East offer endless possibilities to enhance your living space, tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Our guide simplifies the decision-making process, presenting a variety of home addition options that cater to your specific requirements.

 

Explore the Potential of Home Additions

  • Elevate with a Third Floor Addition: Without altering your home’s footprint, a third-floor addition is perfect for extra bedrooms or a secluded home office.

  • Expand with a Rear Bump-Out: Ideal for enlarging your kitchen or living area, a rear extension keeps your home’s front aesthetic intact while providing the additional space you desire.

  • Increase Space with a Second Floor Top-Up: Transform your bungalow into a spacious two-story home, adding vital space for bedrooms, bathrooms, or a master suite.

  • Enhance with a Front Porch Extension/Enclosure: Improve curb appeal and functionality with a porch extension, creating a new mudroom, sitting area, or sunroom.

  • Utilize Side Extensions (L-Shaped Fill-Ins): Expand your living space efficiently by filling in the side of L-shaped homes, a smart solution for narrow lots.

 

Tailoring Additions to Your Home’s Unique Characteristics

Considerations for a Perfect Addition:

  • Zoning and Property Lines: Understand zoning regulations to determine proximity to your property’s edges. City of Toronto’s Official Website on Home Additions

  • Lot and House Size: Assess your lot and current home size to explore expansion potential under local bylaws.

  • Building Heights: Navigate height restrictions to see if adding another story is feasible for you.

  • Topography: Evaluate land slope and soil conditions to identify the best type of addition for your property.
