Home additions in York Region

DDR Contracting plans and builds home additions in Aurora and across York Region, designed to match the existing house and run as one project from start to finish. We work with your designer or architect on the drawings, help with permits where needed, and coordinate the trades.

S-104.1 Scope

What we build

  • Rear and side additions. A larger kitchen, a family room, or a main-floor room that opens to the yard.
  • Second-storey additions. More bedrooms and bathrooms above the existing footprint, planned to match the house.
  • Extra bedrooms and home offices. Space for a growing family or for working from home.
  • The renovation that goes with it. Additions usually change the rooms they join, so the kitchen, stairs or main floor can be reworked as part of the same project.

The aim is an addition that reads as part of the house, inside and out: matching exterior materials and roof lines, and floor levels that line up.

S-104.2 Approvals

Permits and approvals

Every home addition needs a building permit, and some lots need other approvals first. In Richmond Hill, larger additions can need a site alteration permit and a tree permit; in a heritage conservation district, such as Northeast Old Aurora or Kleinburg in Vaughan, exterior work also needs heritage approval. Our area pages for Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Aurora and King set out the local steps. DDR checks what applies to your address before work starts.

The images on this page are illustrations of the kind of addition we build, not photographs of a DDR project. A Google review from one of our clients describes a full renovation with an addition.

S-104.6 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  1. Do I need a building permit for a home addition?

    Yes. A home addition needs a building permit in every York Region town, and some lots need other approvals first, such as a heritage permit in a heritage conservation district or a site alteration or tree permit in Richmond Hill. DDR checks what applies to your address before work starts.

  2. Can an addition match my existing house?

    That is the aim. Additions are planned to match the existing house, from the exterior materials and roof lines to the floor levels inside, so the new space reads as part of the home.

  3. Do you work with architects and designers?

    Yes. DDR works alongside your architect or designer and builds to the drawings you have agreed on. If you are starting from scratch, we can talk through the next steps at the first visit.

  4. How much does a home addition cost?

    It depends on the size and number of storeys, the foundation, how it ties into the existing house, and whether heritage or other approvals are involved. The most reliable number is a quote for your home. DDR prices each job after seeing the property and talking through the plan; call or text 647-991-8551.

  5. How long does a home addition take?

    It depends on the size of the addition, the foundation and how it ties into the house, plus the time the town needs to review and issue permits. DDR gives you a realistic timeline before the project starts.
