Whether you want a conventional addition, a second storey, or a cost effective way to create more room, Sunnylea Homes can help you build new space that feels connected to the main house.
A home addition can make an existing home work better without forcing your family to move. Many North York houses have strong neighbourhood value, but they may need more space, more natural light, or a better layout for modern living.
Popular home addition ideas include:
Building a family room addition for everyday living
Adding a guest bedroom or additional bedroom
Creating a primary bedroom suite
Adding an extra bathroom or ensuite
Building an in law suite for extended family
Converting a garage into living space
Adding an accessory dwelling unit for rental income or family use
Building a four season sunroom with large windows
Creating a home theater or flexible living area
Adding built ins for storage and function
Extending an existing room with a bump out
Adding a full second storey for major square footage gains
The best addition depends on your house, existing space, budget, local regulations, and long-term goals.
A room addition is a practical way to add more space without completely changing your home. It can be used for a family room, guest bedroom, home office, living area, or expanded kitchen.
A bump out is often smaller than a conventional addition but can still make a major difference. A kitchen bump, for example, can create room for a larger dining area, more storage, or better flow.
A second storey addition or full second story addition can dramatically increase space without expanding the home’s footprint. This is ideal for homeowners who want more living space but have limited lot size.
Second storey additions require careful planning, structural review, foundation work, and building permit approval. We assess whether the existing structure is structurally sound and coordinate the right professionals before construction begins.
A garage conversion can be one of the most cost effective ways to create new living space. Depending on the garage, it may become an extra bedroom, in law suite, home office, family room, or accessory dwelling unit.
Garage conversions may involve insulation, heating, air conditioning, windows, flooring, plumbing, electrical work, and local code upgrades.
An accessory dwelling unit or in law suite can provide additional living space for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. These projects require careful planning around local regulations, bathroom and kitchen access, mechanical systems, privacy, and building codes.
We help homeowners design a functional space that feels connected to the main house while still providing independence where needed.
A four season sunroom can bring in natural light and create year round living space. With proper insulation, heating, cooling, large windows, and flooring, a sunroom can become a comfortable part of the home rather than a seasonal room.
Home addition cost depends on several factors, including square foot size, scope, structural work, foundation needs, finishes, permit requirements, local regulations, and whether plumbing or HVAC is involved.
A simple bump out or garage conversion may be more cost effective than a full second storey addition. Larger projects, like a full second story addition, may require foundation reinforcement, engineering, additional building permits, and more extensive construction.
During the feasibility stage, Sunnylea Homes provides average costs, potential costs, and a detailed estimate tailored to your project. We also identify possible unforeseen expenses early so you can plan with confidence.
A well-designed home addition can increase property value by adding usable square footage, improving layout, and creating more functional living space. Extra bedrooms, additional bathrooms, a larger family room, or an accessory dwelling unit can all increase property appeal when designed properly.
Our team focuses on additions that fit the existing home, protect structural integrity, and make sense for the North York market. The goal is to improve daily life while supporting long-term home value.

We build single room additions, bump outs, full second storey additions, second story and second storey additions, garage conversions, accessory dwelling units, in law suites, four season sunrooms, and integrated additions that tie into kitchen or bathroom renovations.

Simple room additions or bump outs are typically more cost effective than a full second story addition, which can require foundation work. During the feasibility stage, we provide average costs and a detailed estimate tailored to your project.
Timelines depend on the type of addition and permitting. A single room bump out might take a few weeks to a few months. A full second storey addition or major structural work can take several months.
