Home Additions FAQ
Do I need a permit for a home addition in Windsor?+
Yes, all home additions require a building permit, and most require plumbing, electrical (ESA), and sometimes Committee of Adjustment approval for setbacks. We handle the full permit process with the City of Windsor, including drawings, engineering, and all inspections.
Can you add a second storey to my home?+
Yes, if your existing foundation and walls can support the load — we assess this with a structural engineer. Second storey additions require temporary relocation during framing and roof work. It's a major project but can double your living space without moving.
How do you match the addition to my existing home?+
We match brick or siding, roof pitch, window style, and trim details so the addition looks original to the house. Interior finishes — flooring, baseboards, door heights — are blended at the transition. The goal is a seamless connection that adds value without looking like an add-on.
