Types of Bungalow Additions

Bungalow homes, with their unique charm and character, offer various possibilities when it comes to additions. At Novacon Construction, we specialize in three main types of bungalow additions: second story additions, rear additions, and garage additions.

A second story addition is a popular choice for many homeowners in Toronto. This type of project involves adding an entirely new level to your bungalow, effectively doubling your living space. It’s an excellent way to extend your home upwards, providing extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a new master suite.

Rear additions are another common type of bungalow addition. This involves extending your home outwards at the back, creating more space on the ground floor. It’s a great option if you have a large backyard and want to increase your living area without altering the bungalow’s front appearance.

Garage additions can be a practical choice for homeowners who need more storage space or want to add a home office or workshop. This type of addition can be attached to the existing house or built as a separate structure, depending on your needs and preferences.

Basement additions offer a unique opportunity to maximize the footprint of your bungalow. Whether you’re looking to add an entertainment room, a home gym, or an additional living space, a basement addition can transform unused space into a functional and inviting area.

Second Story Bungalow Additions

Adding a second story to your bungalow is a transformative house addition that can dramatically increase your living space. At Novacon Construction, we specialize in second story additions, helping homeowners in Toronto and the surrounding GTA to maximize their home’s potential.

It’s an excellent solution for homeowners who love their current location but need more space.

Whether you’re looking to add extra bedrooms, a spacious master suite, or a comfortable family room, a second floor addition can provide the space you need. Our team of professionals works closely with you to design and build a second story that blends seamlessly with your existing structure, enhancing your home’s aesthetics and functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Adding an addition to your bungalow can significantly increase its resale value. Expanding the square footage of your home not only provides more living space for you and your family, but it also makes your property more appealing to potential buyers. In the competitive Toronto real estate market, homes with additional space often command higher prices. However, it’s important to ensure that the addition is well-designed and seamlessly integrates with the existing structure. A poorly executed addition can detract from the home’s overall appeal. At Novacon Construction, we specialize in creating beautiful, high-quality home additions that enhance the value and functionality of your bungalow.

What are the building codes involved in a home addition in Toronto?

Building a home addition in Toronto involves several building codes and regulations to ensure the safety and legality of the construction. Here are some key points:

  1. Building Permit: A Building Permit is required for the construction and/or demolition of a new building, an addition, or material alteration of any building or structure. This permit is your formal permission to begin the construction. As part of the Building Permit process, Toronto Building staff must review your plans to ensure they comply with the Ontario Building Code, local Zoning By-laws, and other Applicable Law.
  2. Zoning By-laws: These affect the construction of your second unit. They can tell you whether you are allowed to add a second unit on your property and answer any questions that you have related to local zoning, the Building Code, and other by-laws.
  3. Building Inspections: Once your building permit has been issued, building inspectors from the municipality must review work at various stages during construction. Inspectors will need to check framing, insulation, plumbing, interior finishes, and other items as outlined in the Building Code.
  4. Ontario Building Code: This sets out minimum construction standards for how to build a second unit in your house. These minimum standards are described in the sections that follow. In some cases, you may wish to build beyond the minimum requirements of the Building Code. Building beyond the Building Code provides homeowners many advantages, including greater occupant comfort and amenities that can make your second unit a nicer place to live.

It’s important to note that these are general guidelines and the specific codes and regulations may vary depending on the specifics of the project. Always consult with a professional or your local building department to ensure you are in compliance with all necessary codes and regulations.

The cost of a home addition in Toronto can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the addition, the complexity of the construction, and the finishes chosen. On average, a new home addition might range between $400 and $500 per square foot.

For instance, if you’re planning to add a simple addition of a small family room of 20 by 30 feet or 600 square feet, your renovation might cost between $240,000 and $300,000. If, on the other hand, you’re planning to add a 2,000-square-foot second-story addition, your renovation might cost between $800,000 and $1,000,000.

It’s important to note that these are average costs and the actual cost can vary. Smaller projects, for example, tend to cost more per square foot. An addition the size of 200 sq. ft. could cost in the range of $150,000.

Also, keep in mind that these costs can increase over time due to factors such as inflation and changes in the cost of materials. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.

Finding a reputable contractor for a home addition involves several steps:

  1. Define Your Project: Clearly outline the specifics of your home addition project. This will help you find a contractor who specializes in the type of work you need.
  2. Ask for Recommendations: Word-of-mouth recommendations from family, friends, or neighbors who have recently used a contractor can be a reliable source of information. Also be sure to check online reviews such as on Google and Homestars.
  3. Check the Contractor’s Record: A good contractor will have a clean record with state and local licensing boards. You can check for any outstanding issues or lawsuits involving the contractor.
  4. Meet with the Contractor: During your meeting, the contractor should be attentive and listen to your ideas. They should also be forthright about all regulatory matters associated with your project, such as building codes, permits, inspections, and zoning.
  5. Get Written Estimates: While verbal cost estimates are acceptable, any firm cost estimate should always be written and signed.
  6. Avoid Contractor Red Flags: Be wary of contractors who avoid written contracts or non-itemized quotes, show up at your door unsolicited, or ask for full payment before starting the project.

Remember, it’s important to do your research and take your time to find the right contractor for your home addition project.
