Why settle for basic 8-foot ceilings when you can see the space open up with soaring two-story designs? This is ideal for all kinds of spaces from kitchens to libraries and great rooms to ultra-luxurious master bedroom suites.

Dedicated Living Space

Indulge yourself in the ultimate master bedroom. Consider innovative designs such as a charming Juliet balcony, soaring cathedral ceilings, a massive dressing room/walk-in closet and an en suite with all the latest smart home features.

Private Entries

For new additions such as in-law suites, offices, or guest wings, consider private entries or stairwells for complete independence.

FAQs

How much does a home addition cost per square foot?

The cost of a home addition can vary widely depending on the size, complexity, and level of customization involved.

On average, additions are priced by the square foot, but features such as two-story designs, luxury finishes, private entries, or custom architectural details can increase the investment.

What permits are required for home additions, and do you handle them?

Team Shane takes care of the entire permitting process on your behalf. This includes preparing and submitting all required drawings and documentation, coordinating with the municipality, and managing any revisions or approvals needed to move your project forward smoothly.

All municipalities have their own regulations and requirements, so permits can vary depending on the city and the scope of your project.

For most home additions, a building permit is required. This ensures the work complies with local zoning by-laws, the Ontario Building Code, and other applicable regulations. Depending on the specifics of the addition, additional approvals may also be needed—such as zoning reviews, conservation authority approvals, or permits related to plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work.

Can the addition be matched to my home's existing style?

Yes. Team Shane specializes in bespoke additions that read like a natural part of your home.

Our architects examine your home’s:
- Proportions
- Rooflines
- Window patterns
- Trim
- Material

With this, we then design an addition that either blends seamlessly or complements the original style, depending on your goal.

From design through construction, we manage the process and back our work with a 5-year warranty so the finished addition both matches and enhances your home.

Will you manage the contractor and subcontractors during construction?

Yes. Team Shane provides full project management for your home addition from start to finish.

This means we coordinate and supervise all contractors and subcontractors involved, ensuring that every detail, from structural work to finishes, is executed to the highest standard.

What potential disruptions should I expect during an addition?

During a home addition, some disruptions are normal, as construction involves structural work, material deliveries, and the use of tools and equipment.

You may experience:
- Temporary noise
- Dust
- Restricted access to areas near the construction zone.

Team Shane’s start-to-finish management process minimizes disruption by coordinating all contractors and scheduling work efficiently.

Additionally, careful planning ensures that your living spaces remain functional whenever possible, and you’ll be kept informed of progress and any temporary changes to your home environment.

Do you offer estimate breakdowns for addition projects?

We provide clear, detailed estimate breakdowns for all addition projects, so you know exactly what to expect. This typically includes a line-by-line overview of costs such as design, materials, labour, trades, and project management, along with allowances where selections are still to be finalized.

Our goal is to be as transparent as possible, so you can understand how your investment is allocated and make informed decisions throughout the process.
