PEI Home Addition Services
There are a variety of reasons to build an addition to your home. For example, you might need the extra space to accommodate family members returning to live at home, building space for an elder, adding some income with a rental, or you could use the new space for fun things like a gym or even a spa.
No matter the reason, investing in a home extension will add value to your property and make it even more saleable. It is often cheaper to build an addition than moving into a new home so if dreaming of more space in your home, just give us a shout!
Cost and Planning
Major renovation
As part of our on-site visit, we take a survey of your home to check the feasibility of an addition. For example, an inspection of the foundation, supporting beams and retaining walls will be our immediate priorities.
Micro addition
A micro addition can help upgrade a home’s aesthetics such as adding a box bay window in your master bedroom to increase natural light while expanding the viewing arc. A micro addition could also include adding a smaller room to support working from home or launching a potential new home business.
Plans
We can easily work with your own plans and drawings to provide accurate costing and clear timelines. We assess your material preferences and flag any potential issues early to keep the project running smoothly. By having clear plans upfront, it also helps to ensure structural and permit requirements are met.
Layout
Overall look of your home
When planning a new addition, it’s important to consider how it will blend with the overall look and style of your home. Matching architectural features, rooflines, materials, and proportions helps ensure the new space feels like a natural extension rather than an obvious add-on.
Access
Carefully considering access points is essential. We work with you to review how an addition will connect to your existing layout, including doors, hallways, and entryways, to ensure smooth traffic flow and convenience.
Second-floor
When planning a second-floor addition, consider its impact on the lower level, including ceiling heights, natural light, and room layout. Structural supports might be necessary, affecting open spaces and requiring innovative design solutions. Careful planning ensures the addition complements both floors and maintains functionality and aesthetic harmony in the home.
Detached
When planning a detached home addition, consider accessibility, utilities, and privacy. Decide its purpose—guest house, office, or studio—and how it integrates with the main home. Plan pathways and essential connections like electricity and water early for convenience, and ensure the new structure aligns aesthetically with the existing property.
Additional Services
Permits
