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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes ADU Additions a Good Choice?

Whether attached or detached, ADU additions offer a flexible and practical way to expand your living space. They're perfect for creating rental units, in-law suites, or private retreats. 

Even though detached ADUs often have costs comparable to custom homes, they offer the advantage of independent functionality and privacy for you and your family without the need to move from a place you love.

Are Second-Storey Additions Complicated?

Second-storey additions require careful planning, particularly regarding the structural integrity of the existing home. Factors like adding new kitchens or bathrooms, upgrading windows and doors, and reworking exterior finishes can add complexity that only a skilled builder can navigate. 

At Ever After Homes, we believe we're 'that' skilled builder. With the right planning and expertise, these addition projects can transform your home into a spacious, multi-level retreat, and we want you to experience that joy.

How Can I Prepare for the Permit Process?

Most home additions in Ontario require a building permit. Permits help ensure your addition meets local safety and zoning regulations. The timeline for obtaining a permit typically ranges from 1 to 12+ months.

You should also know that Ontario's permitting process varies depending on environmental and zoning regulations. A good starting point is understanding your property's specific requirements, which we'll help you navigate during our initial review.
