HOME ADDITIONS · BOWMANVILLE
Additions for Bowmanville homes
Bowmanville's older streets have yellow and red brick homes with tall windows, gables and front porches. Inside, many have a small kitchen, no mudroom and laundry in a basement with low ceilings.
A rear addition can bring all of that up to the main floor: a proper kitchen, a laundry room and a mudroom with lockers by the back door. Board-and-batten or clapboard on the addition often suits these houses better than trying to match old brick.

Building next to an older house
Older Bowmanville homes often have stone or rubble foundations. A new foundation beside one has to be planned so it does not undermine the old one, and floors may not be level. Permits come from the Municipality of Clarington, and homes in heritage areas may need heritage review for exterior changes.

Old and new, side by side
In a Victorian home, the best additions let old and new sit honestly together. We help you decide what to echo from the original house and where a simpler, modern detail will make the original stand out.

Matching floor levels
Older houses have settled over a century, and their floors are rarely level. We survey the existing floors before framing so the transition into the addition is smooth, without a step or a slope at the doorway, and so trim and doors line up the way they should.

Josh ONeil
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

QUESTIONSBOWMANVILLE, ON
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.
Can you add to a house with a stone foundation?
Yes. The new foundation is designed so it does not disturb the old one, and we plan how the floors will meet.
Should the addition be brick to match?
Not always. Siding or board-and-batten often suits a Victorian addition better than a brick that is close but not exact.
Who issues permits in Bowmanville?
The Municipality of Clarington.
