Commercial Additions & Facility Expansions Contractor in Kawartha Lakes, ON
Henley Contracting builds additions to commercial and industrial buildings across the City of Kawartha Lakes, from shops and service buildings in town to rural workshops and storage buildings. Outside the serviced areas, a bigger building can mean more demand on the well, the septic system and the hydro service, so we review those early in planning.

ADDITIONS & FACILITY EXPANSIONS · KAWARTHA LAKES
Rural business expansions in Kawartha Lakes
A contractor, marine or equipment business on a rural property often needs more heated shop space, more storage or a proper office. Adding on to the existing building keeps everything on one site and can reuse the yard, laneway and services already in place.
We help owners weigh an addition against a separate new building.
-
01 / WELL AND SEPTIC
Capacity reviewed when staff or washrooms increase.
-
02 / HYDRO SERVICE
Power needs checked for new equipment and heating.
-
03 / MATCHING THE BUILDING
Roof lines, cladding and doors that suit what is there.
-
04 / CITY PERMITS
Permits with the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Build
Sequenced around the seasons and your busy times.
Addition or separate building
Sometimes a separate building beside the existing one is simpler than tying in, especially when the old structure is light or the roof lines are awkward. We price both so the choice is clear.
Snow and wind loads
A new roof joined to an old one can create valleys where snow drifts and builds up. The engineer designs for those loads, and we detail the connection so water and ice have somewhere to go.
Laneways and yards
A bigger building often means heavier deliveries. Laneways, culverts and yard surfaces may need upgrading so trucks can reach the new doors in spring thaw as well as in summer.
Working around farm and seasonal timing
Rural businesses often have busy and quiet seasons. We plan the most disruptive work, such as opening the existing wall, for the time of year that suits your operation best.

We highly recommend Henley Contracting to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled contractor for custom home or cottage construction. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

My project started before the pandemic. Work was about 30% complete and going well. The pandemic hit me a bit financially which stressed me out about the project. The Henley team helped reverse engineer and descope some of the project to suit my new affordability. They handled this with class and professionalism which im sure created extra work for them. Communication was excellent and finished product is fantastic. I will never work with or recommend another contractor again
