Benefits of Adding Second Floor
Add Privacy and Comfort
Would you like to add a little more privacy to your home? Whether it’s giving your kids their own bedrooms or creating a luxurious master bathroom and closet, a second storey addition gives you the space to create.
Allow your home to flow naturally and comfortably by reducing the volume of existing rooms and adding extra room to move.
Increase Space and Functionality
Single storey homes can easily become overwhelmed by increased use and foot traffic, especially for growing families. Whether you’re welcoming a new family member to the household or need a little more wriggle room, second storey additions can dramatically increase usable living space and reduce pressure on existing rooms.
Preserve your outdoor space and take advantage of views while still enjoying the benefits of added living quarters by designing and constructing a second storey addition with Barrie Home Renovations. Whether you’re looking to add extra bedrooms and bathrooms or envision a spacious adults’ retreat, we bring your concepts to life.

Things To Consider
Depending on the size and location of the second storey extension, it can be possible to carry out the work with minimal disruption to family life. We may be able to completely seal off the affected part of the house, leaving an area of the existing home available for the residents to occupy while the building work is taking place, if that is their preference.
We find that some of our clients relish the construction process going on around them, getting to know our tradesmen and seeing the project come together. Others prefer to be well away from the hive of activity, with regular meetings on site revealing the surprise of what’s been achieved since their last visit.
Home extensions and renovations often come with their share of challenges, which is why those planning an extension should think carefully when selecting a home extension builder. You need a builder with experience and expertise to construct a second storey extension, particularly on old homes, and to address planning and regulatory issues.
As a full service design and construct builder, we look after all planning and building permits and approvals that are required for work to start on your home extension or renovation. From the first visit with our designer, to the final finishing touches on your new space, you can be confident that Edmo will handle the entire process efficiently and professionally, always with a friendly personal touch.
Renovations vs. Extensions
You might have heard the terms ‘renovation’ and ‘extension’ used interchangeably. Essentially, an extension is a kind of renovation, as it involves updating or modifying a space. However, not all renovations are extensions. For example, simple home renovations can involve nothing more than adding a coat of paint to the walls. If the main complaint you have with your home is a lack of space, an extension rather than a renovation could be a better option.
The Cost of Renovations vs. Extensions
Wondering about the cost of a house extension compared to a complete home renovation cost? In most cases, an extension will cost more than a renovation, but this will depend on what’s required. If you’re concerned about cost, it’s a good idea to consult with a company like Barrie Home Renovations that offers a fixed price for extensions based on your budget. It’s important to remember that whether you opt for a renovation or an extension, the eventual cost will ultimately depend on the extent of the work you want done.
