Basement Suites and Home Additions in Surrey

Basement Suites and Home Additions in Surrey

Surrey is home for us. Old To New operates from Fleetwood Way, which means homeowners in Fleetwood, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale, South Surrey and Panorama Ridge get our fastest response times for basement suites, home additions and garage conversions. We are a fully insured general contractor with over a decade of experience, we handle City of Surrey permits ourselves, and every project starts with a free quote from a builder who lives with the results.

Why basement suites are Surrey's favourite renovation

Drive through Newton, Fleetwood or Panorama Ridge and you will find legal suites helping thousands of families carry their mortgage. Surrey has one of the most suite-friendly approaches in the region, and a well-built legal suite adds monthly income and long-term value at the same time. To register a suite it needs its own entrance, a kitchen and bathroom, egress windows in the bedrooms, and fire separation between the suite and the main home, requirements we design in from the first drawing. Suite costs vary by scope, so we walk the basement with you and put a real number on paper for free.

Additions built for multigenerational Surrey households

Many of our Surrey clients are not building for tenants, they are building for family. Parents moving in, adult kids staying longer, grandparents who want independence without distance. We build ground-floor in-law suites in Cloverdale, rear additions in Guildford that add a main-floor bedroom and bathroom, and full second storeys in South Surrey for growing households. Additions typically run $200 to $400 per square foot depending on foundations and finishes. Because every family arrangement is different, we design around how your household actually lives, separate entrances where wanted, shared spaces where they make sense.

The advantage of a general contractor based in Fleetwood

Our shop is on Fleetwood Way, so a site visit anywhere in Surrey is a short drive, not a scheduled expedition. That matters over a multi-month addition: questions get answered on site the same day, deliveries and inspections are easier to coordinate, and if something needs attention after handover we are close enough to just come by. We work with the City of Surrey's permit and inspection process constantly, handling structural, plumbing and electrical approvals as part of the job. Local also means accountable, our reputation in this city is the reason we get most of our Surrey work through referrals.

Residential Additions Questions in Surrey

How fast can you look at a basement suite project in Newton or Fleetwood?
Usually within a couple of days, since we are based in Fleetwood ourselves. Call 778-861-6482 and we will book a free site visit at a time that works for you.
What does Surrey require to make a basement suite legal?
In general terms, the suite needs its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom, bedroom egress windows, and fire separation from the main home, plus a City of Surrey permit and inspections. We handle the application and build to those requirements as standard.
Can you build an in-law suite for my parents in Cloverdale?
Yes, multigenerational suites are one of our most common Surrey projects. We design for accessibility and privacy, whether that is a ground-floor suite, a converted garage or a purpose-built addition.
Will a legal suite change my Surrey property taxes or utility bills?
A registered suite can affect utility charges and assessment, and the city can confirm specifics for your property. Most owners find the rental income comfortably outweighs those costs, and we can walk through the trade-offs at the quote stage.
