Shall you stay or shall you go?
If you ended up in a situation where your current residence does not fulfill you anymore or no longer fits your family lifestyle, you are probably on the crossroad of two choices: shall you pack your things and try to find some other places to live, or shall you stay and try to change your current situation for the better. For many people, staying in your current residence and make some changes and home additions is a far better choice mostly because of the economic reasons and benefits. A well-thought-out home addition or extension can add more value to your home than home relocation. Not to mention that relocation drags issues like moving from your favorite neighborhood, away from the community that you are accustomed and where your family enjoys their free time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my home extension project require a permit?
Yes, this type of project requires a building permit from your municipality. Regardless of the size or shape of your project, it would be wise to consult your municipal planning department before investing in any plan in order to identify your construction and renovation possibilities. Ultimately, your plans will need to be approved by the city where you live in.
Should I sell my property, expand to ground level, or add a second floor?
Without a doubt, any increase in living space dramatically increases the value of your property. Our team will be able to guide you in this important reflection.
How long will it take to complete my home addition project?
A typical home extension or home addition can take between 4 and 10 months (including interior finishing), including acquiring permits and negotiating with your contractors. It also depends on the size, the complexity of the work, your decision-making speed and the season in which you work. Second-story additions usually take a little longer than those on the first floor.
