A home addition is one of the most effective ways to create the space you need while remaining in the home and neighbourhood you love. Whether you are envisioning a larger kitchen, an additional bedroom, a brighter family room, or a full second storey, the goal is the same: to expand your home in a way that feels intentional and complete.
At Catlin, we design and build additions that integrate seamlessly with your existing structure. Every detail — from exterior lines and materials to interior flow and natural light — is considered carefully so the new space feels like it has always belonged. An addition should enhance your home, not compete with it.
With Catlin, adding space does not have to feel complicated. We guide you through every step with care and transparency.
A successful addition requires more than construction expertise. It requires thoughtful design and careful integration.
Every family has different needs, and every addition is customized to match your lifestyle.
Every addition is tailored to the homeowner and the property. Some projects involve expanding living areas to create open, functional kitchens with improved storage and gathering space. Others focus on adding bedrooms, home offices, or family rooms to support a growing household.
Second-storey additions can dramatically increase square footage while maintaining your existing footprint. Bathroom additions — whether an ensuite or a main-floor powder room — improve comfort and convenience.
Sunrooms and four-season spaces create bright, year-round living areas that connect your home to the outdoors. Garage additions can provide storage, workshop space, or future suite potential, while basement walkouts enhance accessibility and unlock additional usable living space.
Each project begins with your goals and is designed specifically for your home.
The first step in our process is to schedule an initial consultation with one of our expert home builders or renovation specialists. During this consultation, we will listen to your needs, discuss your goals, and provide recommendations and guidance based on our years of experience.
Once we have a clear understanding of your needs and goals, our team will work closely with you to develop a detailed design and plan for your project. We will use the latest technology and software to create 3D models and renderings, allowing you to visualize your project before any construction work begins.
Before any construction or renovation work can begin, we will take care of obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from the relevant authorities. We will handle all paperwork and ensure that all work is completed in compliance with local regulations.
With the design and planning phases complete, our team of skilled contractors and builders will get to work on your project. We will use only the highest quality materials and employ the latest construction and renovation techniques to ensure that your project is completed to the highest standards of excellence.
Once construction and renovation work is complete, we will conduct a final inspection to ensure that all work has been completed to your satisfaction. We will address any concerns or issues and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the final result meets or exceeds your expectations.
If you value your location but need more room to live comfortably, an addition may be the ideal solution. Expanding your home allows you to increase functionality, accommodate a growing family, create dedicated work or guest spaces, and enhance overall property value — all without relocating.
A thoughtfully designed addition transforms not only the square footage of your home, but the way you experience it every day.

Mark FariaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We reached out to Catlin a few years ago to build our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Working with Jay and the entire Catlin team was a great experience. We felt fully involved throughout the process, and they did an excellent job keeping us informed. Updates, pictures, and jobsite progress notes were shared through the Buildertrend app, and communication with the team was always easy and responsive. Now that we’ve been settled for a year, the Tarion warranty process has been excellent. Catlin has been quick to address any nail pops or minor deficiencies, which speaks to their commitment to quality and customer care. As with any large project, there were a few instances where certain items went over budget. However, Catlin was transparent and worked closely with us to find solutions and ensure we were satisfied. That level of responsiveness really stood out. Overall, we highly recommend Catlin Homes for anyone looking to build. The craftsmanship, communication, and aftercare have all been outstanding. Quinn HuffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company to work with! Their team is professional, friendly, and really cares about delivering quality results. They made the whole process easy and enjoyable from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Catlin to anyone looking for a reliable and talented team! Jane TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Catlin online in 2020 and, after meeting Jay, trusted our gut and hired them for our upstairs renovation. Our first impression was exactly who Jay and his team proved to be over the project - hardworking, honest, easy to work with, and deliver a beautiful and high quality finish. Jay is transparent about timelines, costs and is extremely fair. Any minor setback we did encounter (as happens with any construction project) was met with a complete "make it right" approach ,with the team doing after hour or weekend work, going to bat with subcontractors, whatever was necessary. I would give Jay and the whole Catlin team my whole and unreserved 5 star recommendation. The post-completion follow up is exceptional, and any small issues that came up were dealt with quickly. I personally am picky with details and probably hard to work with that way. The end product with Catlin is high-end, high-quality, and tailored to small preferences. We hired Catlin again in 2023 to do our larger, full-home renovation project where they took the rest of our house down to the studs. Having known them now through 2 major renovations and 5 years only adds to my recommendation - Jay, Charlie (designer), Chase, Derek, Taylor, the whole team are amazing to work with and will give you a beautiful home. I should mention that their work also won awards for best renovation, which you really can't beat when you pair it with the people you get to work with. You will probably walk away with some new friends as well. Thank you Catlin Inc! Navot KantorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Catlin renovated our entire house in two separate stages. In both projects they kept to the agreed upon schedule and budget, and had great communication on progress through phone, email, and their app. They also provided a detailed cost breakdown throughout the project, and honoured their warranty for a few minor issues. Overall very trustworthy, which unfortunately is rare in the renovation business. Would recommend for anyone looking to renovate their home. Braedon GalleaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Catlin on a number of projects over the years, and they continue to set the bar high in the custom home space. Their reputation as a builder is well-earned—rooted in a strong work ethic, thoughtful design, and a true commitment to quality. We’ve supported Catlin on some exciting builds, handling both aluminum and wood siding, and it’s always a great experience. Their team is organized, forward-thinking, and easy to communicate with on-site, which makes our job smoother and more enjoyable. We love working with Catlin and are proud to be a part of their builds. — Southcote Construction Glenn MeldrumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Catlin Inc. did a great job installing the steel roof on the Barn Swallow structure in Dundas. There were 2 team members on the job site and when the weather degraded, Jay Catlin added a 3rd. team member in order to finish all work on the same day. Lifting and placing steel sheets on a windy and cold day is not an easy task. Everything was cleaned up and removed by the end of the day. I would like to recommend Catlin for their attention to detail and their ability to work safely and on time.
