Home Additions with Ever After Homes: Stylishly Expanding Your Living Space

Types of Home Additions We Offer

Home addition contractors in the Greater Toronto Area are a dime a dozen. Yet, some stand out, like Ever After Homes. At our company, we understand that a home addition is more than just adding square footage; it’s about enhancing your lifestyle and creating a space that feels uniquely yours. 

With years of experience designing and building custom additions in Ontario, we specialize in working within the limitations of existing structures while bringing your vision to life.

Whether you’re looking for a spacious ADU addition, a second storey, or something completely unique, we’ll work alongside you to conceptualize and create your dream home with care and precision.

Ever After Homes provides various home addition services personalized to meet your needs. Whether you dream of an additional suite, a new level, or a custom-designed space, we have you covered. 

We have extensive experience designing with the limitations that come with an existing floorplan or structure. Here’s what we can offer:

ADU Additions (Attached and Detached)

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are a versatile way to expand your living space, whether as a standalone detached unit or an attached addition to your existing home. 

These projects are akin to custom home builds, with pricing largely based on square footage for detached units and renovation-style costs for attached units. 

They’re an ideal solution for creating rental income opportunities, guest accommodations, or independent living spaces for extended family members.

Second-Storey Additions

Adding a second storey to your home is an excellent way to double your living space without extending your home’s footprint. These projects typically range in cost from $400,000 to $900,000 or more, with per-square-foot pricing starting at $300. 

This is a small price to pay, considering the transformative upgrade you’ll bring to your home that maximizes your property’s potential. 

Custom Homes

We also offer mid-range and high-end custom home-building services for homeowners seeking a more comprehensive transformation than an addition can provide. These projects incorporate the finest materials, smart home features, and bespoke designs tailored to your lifestyle.

Understanding Our Home Addition Process

At Ever After Homes, we do things a little differently when it comes to building home additions. 

For starters, we believe that transparency and planning are key to a successful home addition. 

We also believe that communication is key for successful addition projects, which is why we’ve shared what to expect in the home addition process when you choose us. 

However, take note that these are the broad-strokes key notes of our addition process, as every project is unique, and when you work with us, you’ll receive a tailored scope of work:

Architectural and Interior Design

The design phase is where your carefully thought-out vision takes shape. Architectural plans for home additions typically take 2 to 6+ months to finalize, depending on whether a full permit-ready package is selected. On the other hand, interior design packages can span 3 to 8 months, depending on the level of customization and complexity needed for your addition. We often include 3D renderings, intricate millwork layouts, interior finishing purchase package details, and detailed lighting plans at this stage.

Permits and Approvals

The permitting process ensures your addition complies with Ontario’s zoning and safety regulations. Timelines can range from 1 to 12+ months based on your project’s complexity and the governing bodies involved – like environmental, conservation, civil, and forestry. We handle all aspects of zoning reviews and permit applications, keeping the process hassle-free for you.

Construction

The construction phase in the addition process is where your dreams become reality. With us, home additions typically take 6 to 12 months to complete, depending on your project’s scope. But don’t worry, because our team focuses on efficiency, quality, and attention to detail to ensure a smooth experience and a stunning end result.

Frequently Asked Questions

The timeline for a whole-house remodel varies depending on the scope of the project and the specifics of your home. Generally, a complete home remodel can take anywhere from six months to over a year. During our planning phase, we’ll provide a detailed timeline so you know what to expect.
This depends on the scale of your renovation and the whole home remodelling services you need. Temporarily relocating may be more convenient for extensive projects, such as whole-home renovations involving structural changes or kitchen and bathroom overhauls. We’ll discuss your living arrangements during the planning phase to ensure minimal disruption to your life.

Most whole house remodels will require permits, especially if they involve structural changes, plumbing, or electrical work. We handle the permitting process at Ever After Homes to ensure compliance with local regulations.
