Benefits When Adding Home Additions in Toronto

If you need an additional space for your growing family, you may like to consider adding a second story to your home instead of getting and moving into a new place. It sometimes makes sense to grow upward than outward. As more and more people turn “Green” these days, they choose to upgrade their homes upward as they would like to save and preserve their refreshing yards and vegetable gardens.

There are several benefits to adding second story homes and among which include:

A second story home is more economical to build. Since you already have the foundation and the supporting walls, this lets you save your home remodeling budget.
Building upwards keeps your front and backyard intact. This lets you maximize your space.
Cooling and heating a two-story house is comparatively cost-effective as heat or coolness from the first floor naturally rises to the 2nd floor.
Growing upwards gives you the privilege to modernize your home. This allows you to brighten and lighten your space through adding windows, opening some spaces, building higher ceilings and the likes. The second story addition can completely change the outside look of your home.
A 2nd floor also adds value to your home. You will certainly recoup every penny you put into it. Every time you elevate your square footage you stand to increase your home’s value merely because the price is commonly calculated based on factors like the amount of livable space.
Adding a second story offers you the unlimited opportunity to design the inside space of the 2nd floor to cater your specific needs. For instance, if your family is musically inclined, you may like to soundproof rooms on the 2nd floor or you may like to have it with a darker space so that you can have a home theater. Some of the most popular features in the 2nd floor today include:

Hobby room
Playroom or game room for kids
Home theater room
Extra bedrooms
In-law suite
Gym room

However, before starting to work with the second floor, there are things that you must consider. Make certain that your present home can support the additions that you are planning to build upward and Toronto local zoning codes permit such fundamental additions. You should collaborate with your building contractor about this so that he can talk to city officials in order to obtain necessary requirements.

An engineer should is also needed to check the structure and foundation of your home to make certain it has the capacity to support the additional weight. Nonetheless, in many cases, you don’t need to replace your existing foundations because they are concentrated and strong enough to handle new loads.

A plumbing contractor must also be consulted if you wish to add a bathroom on the 2nd floor. Together with him, an electrician(The Reno Pros will contract out all electrical work to registered electrical contractors licensed with the Electrical Safety Authority.) is needed to handle the lightings. All these professionals should be consulted before you can finally begin planning to build your 2nd story home.

Wendy Harris

One of the best companies I've ever hired for a job, reliable and very time efficient. They renovated our office: new flooring, few new walls to separate the space, new office kitchen, 2 bathrooms, new ceiling. And they got it done in less time than I expected. Highly recommended.

Galyna Buz

The crew recently finished remodeling our basement. What was left by previous home owners was old and tasteless, but reno pros updated the look at a good price. My husband can be very picky when it comes to renovations but I was pleasantly surprised with the designer who was patient and was able to perfectly combine our visions and turn them into something real. We will definitely be contacting them when we decide to reno other parts of the house.
