Garden Suite Builder in Courtice, ON

Henley Contracting is a garden suite builder in Courtice for families who want flexible space: a home office or studio today, a suite for a parent or a tenant tomorrow. We design a backyard suite that works as a full self-contained home from day one, so changing its use later takes furniture, not construction.

Flexible garden suites in Courtice

Courtice households change quickly. Someone starts working from home, a parent needs to move closer, a teenager grows into a young adult. A garden suite planned only as an office cannot easily become a home, but one planned as a full home can always be used as an office.

That means building in a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and proper heating and cooling from the start, even if the first use is a studio or a quiet place to work.

01 / FULL HOME FROM DAY ONE
Kitchen, bathroom and sleeping space included.
02 / ADAPTABLE ROOMS
A main room that works for living or working.
03 / YEAR-ROUND COMFORT
Insulation, heating and cooling sized for living in.
04 / MUNICIPAL PERMITS
Applications to the Municipality of Clarington.

Quiet for both households

Whether the suite holds an office or a tenant, sound matters. We place doors and windows away from the main house's bedrooms and insulate walls and the roof for quiet.

Thinking about value

A well-built garden suite adds a self-contained home to the property, which can broaden its appeal when the time comes to sell. Suites that feel like real homes, with good light, storage, quality finishes and their own outdoor space, tend to be the ones buyers and tenants value. We help you balance what you need now with what will hold its worth later.

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

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.

Can a garden suite be used as a home office?

Yes. A suite built as a full home can serve as an office now and a living space later.

Why include a kitchen if I only need an office?

A suite with a kitchen and bathroom can become a home without renovation. Adding them later costs far more.

Who issues permits in Courtice?

The Municipality of Clarington.
