Whether you want a conventional addition, a second floor expansion, or a cost effective way to create additional living space, Sunnylea Homes can help you plan and build with confidence.
A home addition can solve space issues without forcing you to move. Many East York homes have strong character, established neighbourhoods, and good locations, but they may need more room for modern family life.
Popular home addition ideas include:
Adding a family room for more everyday living space
Creating a guest bedroom or additional bedroom
Building a primary bedroom suite
Adding an extra bathroom
Creating an in law suite for multi-generational living
Converting a garage into usable living space
Adding a four season sunroom with large windows and natural light
Building a second storey addition for major square footage gains
Creating a home theater or flexible living area
Adding built ins to maximize storage in the new space
A well-planned home addition can make your existing space more functional while creating new living space that blends with the rest of the house.

A room addition is a practical way to add more living space without changing the entire structure of your house. This could include a family room, guest bedroom, living room extension, primary bedroom, or hobby room.
A single room addition still requires careful planning, including foundation work, building codes, heating, air conditioning, windows, flooring, and how the new space connects to the existing room.

A second storey addition or full second story addition can dramatically increase space without expanding the footprint of the home. This can be a strong option for homeowners who need more living space but have limited lot size.
Second storey additions require structural review to confirm the existing structure is structurally sound. Our team assesses framing, foundation, stair placement, building permit requirements, and overall feasibility before construction begins.

A garage conversion can be one of the most cost effective ways to create extra space. Depending on local regulations and the condition of the garage, it may become a guest bedroom, in law suite, home office, living area, or accessory dwelling unit.
Garage conversions may require insulation, heating, air conditioning, new flooring, windows, plumbing, electrical work, and code upgrades.

A bump out is a smaller addition that extends part of the house to create more room. A kitchen bump, for example, can make space for a larger dining area, better storage, or improved flow without requiring a large conventional addition.
Bump outs can be a cost effective way to increase space when a full addition is not needed.

A four season sunroom adds bright, comfortable living space that can be used year round. With large windows, proper insulation, heating, and cooling, a sunroom can bring in natural light while functioning as a true part of the home.
Home addition costs vary depending on square foot size, design complexity, structural work, foundation work, finishes, building permit requirements, and whether plumbing or HVAC changes are needed.
Average costs can be helpful for early planning, but every home addition project is different. A small bump out will not cost the same as a full second storey, garage conversion, or in law suite. Larger projects may also involve unforeseen expenses if the existing structure needs upgrades.
Sunnylea Homes provides a detailed estimate after a site visit so you can understand the cost, project scope, and financing options before deciding how to move forward.

We are thrilled with the results and continue to work with Geno and Marino on additional projects. We feel truly grateful to have hired them for a project that meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the transformation and the experience working with you and your team. Throughout the renovation process, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and expertise. The collaborative approach and teamwork ensured our vision was realized, and the result far surpassed our expectations.

We are sincerely grateful to know you and look forward to working with you on future projects!Posted on Google Jasmine LovricTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunnylea and Marino were fabulous. I basically gutted my condo unit and the results are beyond my expectations. His professionalism and suggestions were priceless. The quality of the workmanship and materials were outstanding. I’m totally thrilled with the outcome and if you are interested in a stress free experience, I highly recommend Sunnylea Homes.Posted on Google Sue NealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the beginning Geno and his team had a total respect for and adherence to my time lines, my wishes and in fact, Geno fought for me on a number of things I really wanted that were outside the norm for my condo building. He was successful every time...and also spot on with original quotes, from start to finish. As a realtor, I have referred Geno and his team to many of my clients and they all get back to me with glowing reviews...including how personable the guys are. Thank-you Geno & Co., for making my reno such a smooth-sailing experience!Posted on Google Pamela DivinskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is not a horror renovation story. Quite the opposite. Caring, Attentive, Helpful. Thoughtful. The Sunnylea Homes Team took extraordinary care of me and my home. We worked without a designer and the team was so experienced and knowledgable, they provided outstanding functional advice that made every decision and choice the absolute right one. Thank you to the full team - you have made my life a lot sunnier! PamelaPosted on Google Rohan AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marino and the team got the job done on time, on budget, and with attention to detail that is hard to find these days. Hard to do better than that! Highly recommended. We initially began with a small job. Marino communicated extensively about timelines and the work, and accommodated our requests for timeline changes. After we started the job, we decided to considerably expand the scope. Marino and the team could not have been more accommodating and despite the expanded scope they minimized disruptions and met the promised timelines to the day. We were impressed by how Marino and the team worked intelligently and with much care as the job progressed. For instance, at one point, they recommended re-routing various pipes to gain us an extra inch of space in the washroom without any extra cost. Similarly, they re-did some tiling because of slight imperfections, even though it was going to be covered by the vanity, again without any additional cost. These are small things, of course, but they all add up. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Jaime BlottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! I had an incredible experience with Sunnylea. It started with a full gut job of our condo and 3 quotes. After meeting with Marino from Sunnylea a couple of times, I decided to trust him with our project and it could not have gone better. From arranging approvals with my condo corp, working through design changes and material changes with our designer, to scheduling and deploying trades and delivering our finished home on time. It was all seamless and for the most part, hands off for us. We moved in almost one year ago and Marino and Sunnylea are now friends of ours and even came to our housewarming party! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I would highly recommend Sunnylea to anyone that asks!Posted on Google Benjamin GoodmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the beginning, Geno and the Sunnylea team worked collaboratively and effectively with our chosen designer. Along with contributing cost-saving edits, he quickly translated the designer's plans in to a reasonable and accurate quote and schedule for the work. Every worker on the project were experts in their field and were able to provide good explanations and recommendations for challenges. In general, we felt that no corners were cut throughout the process. Geno responded within 24 hours to any question we had. We would absolutely go to Sunnylea for our next project and are happy to recommend them to anyone.Posted on Google Noelem AlforqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geno has managed our construction project professionally and with realistic outcome. He has a specialized team that works independent of each other with attention to fine details.Posted on Google Dr. Sequeira SequeiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marino of Sunnylea Homes was a pleasure to deal with from our first meeting over 18 months ago, until today. His knowledge, professionalism, honesty and responsiveness have never lapsed. I decided to have my condominium stripped to bare walls and cement, and then have it built into a place in which I could work and relax, while wanting for nothing else. Marino handled all phases of the work from demolition, electrical, plumbing, flooring, tiling and painting always in accordance with his initial timeline and also with meticulous finish! My unit has been featured on a House & Home video segment recently, which attests the level of finish he assisted in bringing about. I have utilized his energies and expertise on smaller projects as well. The current one being a renovation of some of the common areas within my Medical Clinic. I would trust both Marino and his various tradesman without question. I could tell they pride themselves in the work they put forward. Thank you to the team for making such a tumultuous endeavor seem painless.Posted on Google Chantal TempletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Geno and his team has been an incredible experience. He has been transparent and flexible at every stage. The teams at the site were professional, courteous to the neighbours and careful in their work. Geno collaborated with my designer at every step and together they made this project beautiful. Highly recommend and would use again without hesitation.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
