Rear extensions are another common and practical type of home addition. They allow you to extend your living space to the back of your house, creating more room for your kitchen, dining area, family room, or any other space. Rear extensions can enhance the connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces, the views and the natural light.

Our Home Additions Process: Step By Step

No Delays! No Surprises! No Mess! These are our promises.

At Sosna, we adhere to a strict and proven 12-step process to ensure a stress-free experience for our clients. This approach has led to hundreds of happy customers in Toronto and the GTA.

Adding a Home Addition the Sosna Way

This first step involves an initial phone call and a subsequent Discovery Meeting in your home. We’ll discuss your ideas, goals, and budget, to assess whether our services align with your needs. If we both feel we are the right fit for one another, we will proceed with the Design and Pre-Construction Process. This stage is critical to understanding your requirements and establishing a strong foundation for the project.

Interested in learning more? Visit our dedicated Our Process page.

During the Design Stage, we balance your vision with the budget. You will be matched with an in-house designer who assists in creating the best possible design plan to meet your preferences, needs, and budget. This phase includes house inspection and selection of design layout with drawings and a comprehensive scope of work. This stage ensures that every aspect of your project is meticulously planned and designed.

Interested in learning more about the design phase? Visit our dedicated Design Steps page.

Once the design is finalized, we present you with a fixed price quotation, renovation agreement and detailed day-by-day construction schedule. The quote we offer encompasses all project specifics and will not increase throughout the home renovation process. That is our promise to you. The renovation agreement will include detailed construction plans and payment schedules. This step ensures transparency, sets expectations, and lays out the price and timeline for the home addition renovation.

Interested in learning more? Visit our dedicated Our Process page.

The final stage encompasses the actual construction, quality control, and the final walkthrough. A dedicated Site Supervisor assigned to your project will ensure the project is completed to our high standards. Daily updates are provided to keep you informed throughout the entire renovation process. Post-construction, we conduct a thorough quality check and walk you through your new space. At this time, we also provide a 2-year warranty on labour and materials, affirming our commitment to quality and your satisfaction.

The cost may vary from $200 to $1000 per sq. ft. and will depend on various factors, such as the type, size, design, and complexity of the home addition.

Home addition projects are complex and challenging and may encounter some issues or difficulties. Some of the potential challenges in home addition projects include:

  • We discovered over the years that additions cost more than what most people are expecting
  • Finding a reliable and reputable contractor with a team of experts who can deliver quality work and service on schedule.
  • Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from the municipality and other agencies.
  • Coordinating with neighbours who could be impacted by the home addition renovation.
  • Minimizing renovation disruptions and inconveniences to the homeowners and their home.

As a one-stop shop, Sosna will handle the entire project and eliminate these concerns. When you choose Sosna, you are choosing a caring, reputable renovation company with an experienced team and proven process to ensure your home addition project is as stress-free as possible.

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assesses the value of your property, which determines how much property taxes you pay. MPAC considers various factors when assessing your property value, such as the location, size, age, condition, and features of your property and the sales of comparable properties in your area. A home addition may increase your property value and, consequently, your property taxes. However, the increase depends on the type and extent of the home addition, as well as the tax rate of your municipality. You can contact MPAC or your local tax office to get an estimate of how much your property taxes may increase after a home addition.

Renovate

Your renovation journey should be exciting, not stressful. Thanks to our detailed planning and skilled tradespeople, there are no surprises at the end—just pure joy. Our clients are often overwhelmed with happiness during the final walkthrough, and we’ve even witnessed a few happy tears! Many tell us they actually enjoyed the renovation process and will miss our team! 

Even after your renovation is complete, our commitment to your satisfaction continues. We offer a 2-year warranty on all our work and take it very seriously. Every non-urgent warranty request is addressed within two business days. This ensures that any issues are resolved quickly and efficiently so you can continue to enjoy your beautiful new space without a worry in the world.

Our clients often return to us for future projects because they know we’re there for them long after the job is done. We love hearing from them, even if it’s just for a minor repair—it’s a chance to show you how much we care. 

We aim to “wow” you with our service so you’ll confidently recommend us to your friends, family, and colleagues.

We understand how hard it can be to find reliable help for small jobs, so we go the extra mile for our clients.

Our goal is for you to enjoy the process, love the result, and have complete peace of mind knowing we’re just a phone call away.

We want you to feel that same joy and pride in your home now and for years to come.

Quote

Estimating renovation projects inherently involves some guesswork, but we take steps to minimize it as much as possible. Here’s how:

Crystal-clear Design Drawings: Our meticulous drawings go beyond basic sketches and floor plans. They include precise measurements, elevations, sections, and details with specifications for materials and finishes and clear layouts for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. This level of detail allows us to calculate material quantities and labor hours more accurately.

Upfront Material & Fixture Selection: We work with you to select all materials and fixtures – tiles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, accessories down to the door knobs on your cabinetry – before finalizing the quote. This eliminates the need to estimate costs based on allowances, reducing the potential for surprises later.

Thorough Inspections: Before finalizing the quote, we thoroughly inspect your home’s structure, plumbing and HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. This uncovers potential unseen issues that could impact the project scope, cost, and design. By identifying these issues upfront, we can factor them into the quote, avoiding unexpected cost overruns during construction.

Only after we complete all the above-mentioned steps do we provide a fixed-price quote that we guarantee will not change during construction.

Design

It all starts with a simple, no-pressure conversation – a phone call or Zoom chat. We believe in finding the right fit for both of us. Not every project or homeowner is the right fit for every contractor, and not every house is feasible to renovate. We want to quickly understand your vision, budget, and priorities, and see if we can add value to your project. If not, we’ll happily refer you to a company that might be a better match. If it seems like a good fit, we’ll schedule a free in-home consultation to discuss your project in more detail. This is our opportunity to exchange ideas, share our expertise, and offer honest advice on how best to bring your vision to life.

Consult

As the saying goes, “An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.”  We take this philosophy to heart at Sosna. Our designers and construction experts collaborate and work closely with you to create highly detailed plans and renderings, leaving no detail to chance.  We meticulously consider every element of your project, from layout and materials to lighting and fixtures. 

Our designers educate you on the pros and cons of every element or fixture, helping you make the right decisions.

This upfront investment in planning ensures a smooth and seamless renovation experience, free of surprises and last-minute changes.
