Home Extension Saskatoon

An addition is a cost-effective way to gain more space without the expense and time investment of moving to a bigger home, or a home with a different layout. Additions can be done to increase the living space in your home vertically, with a second story, or horizontally, with the expansion of the main level.

Depending on your family’s needs, an addition can accommodate more bedrooms and baths, a home office, or be constructed to meet your needs on a single level. Adding bedrooms with an ensuite improves privacy and harmony in the home for growing children, as well as guests. Upstairs space frees up and presents new opportunities for the downstairs – providing room for a larger kitchen or the main floor laundry.

Staying in your home longer is possible with an addition that provides single-level condo living. An addition to the main floor of your home can include improved entry to your home, wider doorways, all amenities on the main floor, and access to same-level outdoor space. Whatever your addition renovation project, we have you covered from start to finish.

Home Extension Ideas


There are many different kinds of renovations and extensions you can undertake and the sheer number of available options can be overwhelming. Knowing what type of project is going to work best in your home and for your family is the best way to sort through this confusion. Saskatoon Home Renos can help with many different types of house extensions:


Small Extensions

Extending the kitchen, master bedroom and family room are the most common room extensions. Those three rooms tend to be the most important to homeowners because those are where they spend the majority of their time. If these rooms are on the outer edges of the house, it will be easier to knock down the existing wall and build a new one a few feet farther into the yard. You can use the same materials and colors that already exist in the room or add a completely different element by making the entire wall windows instead. This is also a great opportunity to add a fireplace or other element to the room.


Single Storey Extensions

Extending your home with a single story extension as opposed to moving to a new house can prove to be a more economical and satisfactory solution that suits your present and future needs. A new single-story extension is a sensible investment that can add to the value of your home and provide the additional internal space required enabling you to make the most effective use of your accommodation.


Double Storey Extensions

A double storey extension can make a substantial difference to your home, not only giving you extra space in your lounge, kitchen, dining room or other living areas but also increase the available bedroom accommodation or provide an additional bathroom. A double story extension often gives you enough space to avoid having to move home, at a cost which is far more affordable.


Side Return Extension

A side return extension is usually used to create extra space in existing rooms or to re-arrange your interior floor plan to create extra space that could include: bedrooms, bathrooms or living space. Side return extensions can also be combined with rear extensions to form a wrap-around extension.


Second Storey Extensions

As the name suggests, this is an extension built on top of your existing dwelling. A second storey addition is the most cost effective way to extend your home, maximising the floor area without losing any precious backyard space. This type of extension may also add significant value to your property, by increasing the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in your home.

When you take your living to the next level, you can choose to either match and blend the design and style to suit the architecture of the existing dwelling or Update and modernize the appearance of the house for added street appeal.


Ground Floor Extensions

Ground floor, same level or existing level extensions vary greatly in design and outcome and typically involve minor to major alterations to the existing house whether its a high-set or low-set brick veneer.

At Saskatoon Home Renos we strongly believe in designing and building the extension to tie in and appear part of the existing house by matching the roof shape, external finishes and architectural elements.


Decks and Outdoor Entertaining Areas

In Saskatoon your house just isn’t complete without an outdoor entertaining area or deck to soak up the sunshine. Whether your house is a low-set or a high-set, an outdoor entertaining area extends your living and often opens up the house to take full advantage of the sunshine and breezes.

At Saskatoon Home Renos we strongly believe in designing and building the extension to tie in and appear part of the existing house by matching the roof shape, external finishes and architectural elements to take your living to the next level.


Lift and Build Under

By lifting the house clients often maximize any local or city views, gain sought-after off street parking whilst restoring and enhancing the charm of the house. This type of extension and renovation is relatively costly in comparison due to the lifting, restumping and heavy ground works involved such as excavation, retaining walls and new concrete slab areas.

How Long Will My Extension Take?


The logistics and time frame of extensions are very different to that of a new build, people often gasp at the timeline involved with a well executed extension “you could build a new house in 3 months”—here is the difference. We treat your home like a home not a building site, we won’t have 4-8 tradespeople working all over your home. We have a well thought-out approach to your extension which we carefully schedule taking into account a few things:

  • Time frame allowed for the project
  • Whether or not you are living in the home during construction
  • And your working hours or days restrictions

We aim to minimize the impact the project has on your everyday living, we manage this by maintaining a clean site, containing the space of the home we occupy for storing material and equipment and running a strict schedule to finish the project on time.\
