Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a building permit for a home extension in Kingston?

Yes, in most cases. Any structural change, including removal of a load-bearing wall, requires a permit from the City of Kingston. Our team prepares the drawings, coordinates engineering sign-off, and files the application with the city on your behalf.

Can I extend an older or heritage-designated home in Kingston?

Absolutely, and we do it often. Heritage-designated properties need approval before any structural work begins, which adds time to the front end of the schedule. Century homes here also hide surprises behind plaster, and we inspect thoroughly to plan for what we find.

What existing spaces in my home can be converted into year-round living space?

Attached garages, three-season sunrooms, covered porches, unfinished basements, and attics all convert well with proper insulation, vapour barrier, and a reliable heat source. Team YKC takes all efforts needed to maximize living space while maintaining the structural integrity of your home.

What is the difference between a home extension and a home addition?

An extension reworks space you already own by combining rooms or claiming blocked-off areas inside your existing footprint. An addition builds new structure outward or upward, such as a rear bump-out or second storey. Happy to answer any questions you have during your decision-making process.

Do you offer any warranty on your work after the project wraps up?

Yes. Our workmanship is covered after completion, and manufacturer warranties apply to materials and fixtures we install. We also follow up after the first year to inspect the completed work and confirm its condition.

Do you offer extension services to make homes more accessible?

Yes, and this drives many of the projects we take on. Removing interior walls creates wider passageways for walkers and wheelchairs, and a single-level layout becomes possible within your existing footprint.

Here are a few ways we’ve made Kingston homes more accessible:

  • Wider doorways and hallways that accommodate walkers and wheelchairs
  • Barrier-free bathrooms with curbless showers and reinforced walls for grab bars
  • Zero-threshold entries that remove step-up transitions between rooms
  • Main floor bedrooms converted from existing dens, offices, or unused space
  • Open kitchen layouts with lowered counters and accessible clearance
