Modular Home Additions Inc.

This is the third time we have used Modular Home Additions in the last 10 years. This last project was by far the biggest. We bought a 100 year old detached 2-storey (+basement) home in Leaside and had Modular add on a 2-storey (+basement) addition. The difficulty here was ensuring that we didn't end up with an "old" existing house attached to a "new" addition - we wanted it to all flow together in an open concept atmosphere that had a modern rustic feel. Modular helped us achieve that within our budget and within our time schedule.

It was essentially a gut job. They took everything down to the studs, new electrical, new plumbing, underpinned existing basement, new structural support beams etc...

Was it all smooth sailing? Unequivocally No. With every significant building project, you will always run into challenging circumstances. By way of example, we encountered an obstacle when we began attaching the new roof structure to the existing cathedral roofing system. When they began the part of the project, Modular became concerned about the stability of the existing cathedral roof structure - they felt it was simply not stable enough to support being cut and then attached to the new hand cut or truss roofing structure. Modular's suggestion was to replace the existing cathedral roof with engineered trusses and build an entire new roof that would be ensure we don't run into any structural problems down the road. And so while this issue caused a bit of a delay (I think we probably lost about a week while the new trusses were constructed), we ended up with a new, stronger, roofing system and shingles etc. Despite having to eat some costs, Modular proceeded without hesitation. In my opinion, this is one of the things that differentiates Modular from others - they make decisions that are best for their customers.

And essentially all this comes down to is people. From the individuals that gutted and framed the existing and new structure, to their HVAC suppliers, their plumber, their carpenters, to our project manager, we cannot say enough good things about the way all of Modular's staff handled our project. Honest, respectful, hard workers, diligent trades people, and great building expertise by our project managers. We want to thank (not in order of importance) Dule, Vadja, Billy, Tino, Dmitry, as well as all the other trades people that helped us achieve exactly what we wanted when we set out on this journey. After this project, I will continue to, without hesitation, recommend Modular to friends and family.
