Types of Home Additions from Aria Build Contractor

Regardless of where you’re in need of space, there is a home extension solution that can solve the problem. Our team specializes in the professional design and development of a wide range of home extension Toronto solutions, including the following:

  • Second-Story Additions – The best way to increase the square footage of your home without requiring more additional land is to take advantage of a second-story addition. Whether it’s needed for bedrooms, living areas, or completely separate living space, a second-story addition will allow you and your family to enjoy the home you have for years to come.
  • Rear Extensions – For families needing more than a simple room addition, rear extensions may be a valuable route to take. With rear extensions, you’ll be able to extend the entire rear of your home – including the basement, main floor, second floor, bungalow additions or all of the above. With a rear extension, you’ll be able to improve square footage without restructuring the flow and layout of your existing home.
  • Kitchen Additions – Running out of room to cook and host? Expand your kitchen square footage to ensure that you have enough counter and floor space for any event with a home kitchen addition.
  • In-Law Additions – Having another set of hands around the house is wonderful, but it’s important to ensure that there is enough space for everyone to live comfortably. Create a separate living space with the help of an in-law addition to your home like – Garden suite or Laneway Suite.
  • Bathroom Additions – A growing family will often require an additional shower, sink, and toilet capacity. Bathroom home additions offer the ability to expand your home while providing critical outlets along the way to ensure a comfortable lifestyle.
