Does your family keep growing? Would you like some extra space for visiting family and friends?
Perhaps you’d like a dedicated space additional to the main dwelling space that allows you to work from home once in a while. If you don’t have the budget, the time or even the permission to extend upwards and build a first floor on top of the ground floor of your home, you can extend outwards with ground floor extension from Saskatoon Home Renos. Our team is committed to helping home owners in Saskatoon bring their dream homes to life with ground floor extension.
Why a Ground Floor Extension Renovation Might Be Your Best Option
When adding a 2nd floor to your home is not an option, simply adding a room (or two) to your existing property can be the perfect solution to your space problems. It’s the option that makes sense particularly in regions of Saskatoon where large blocks of land still exist. Saskatoon Home Renos has over 15 years of experience creating extra space for families just like yours.

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 Saskatoon Home Renos 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.
