Second-storey additions on Burnaby ranchers
Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and the streets around Deer Lake are full of solid 1950s and 1960s ranchers sitting on generous lots. Many of these homes are ideal candidates for a second-storey addition: the footprint stays the same, the yard survives, and the house roughly doubles its living space. We assess the existing foundation and framing first, because not every rancher can carry a second floor without reinforcement, then design the addition around what the structure can support. Additions typically run $200 to $400 per square foot depending on structural work and finishes, and we give you a firm written scope before demolition ever starts.
Legal basement suites where Burnaby renters actually want to live
Rental demand in Burnaby is concentrated around SkyTrain, which makes homes near Metrotown, Edmonds and Brentwood some of the most sensible places in Metro Vancouver to add a legal suite. Burnaby permits secondary suites in most single-family homes, and a legal suite must have its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom, egress windows in every bedroom, and proper fire separation between the suite and the rest of the house. We build all of that in from the framing stage rather than patching it in afterward. Suite costs vary by scope, and the free quote breaks down exactly where the money goes.
How we run a Burnaby addition from permit to final inspection
Every Burnaby addition and suite needs a building permit, with separate approvals for structural, plumbing and electrical work. We prepare the City of Burnaby application, coordinate drawings and engineering, and book each inspection at the right stage so the project never stalls waiting on paperwork. Because we are based in Fleetwood, our crews reach any Burnaby site quickly, and the same project manager stays with your job from the first site visit to the final walkthrough. Whether it is a rear extension in Edmonds or a full suite build near Metrotown, you get one accountable contractor, a written schedule and no surprises.
