Additions for Brooklin family homes
Brooklin, in north Whitby, has a historic village core and newer neighbourhoods of two-storey family homes. Many of those homes were bought when the kids were small. Now there are teenagers, a home office, sports gear and extra cars.
A popular answer is a garage addition with a room above: parking and storage at grade, and a bonus room, office or guest suite upstairs. Done well, the dormers, rooflines and materials match the house, so it looks like part of the original design.

Approvals in Brooklin
Brooklin is part of the Town of Whitby, so the Town issues the permit and applies its zoning limits for side yards, height and lot coverage. In the village core, heritage rules can apply to exterior changes. Lots backing onto creeks may need a CLOCA review.

Homes that grew with the family
An addition can rebalance a house for the stage of life you are in now: a place for teenagers to hang out, an office with a door that closes, and storage for everything that used to spill into the hallway.

Planning the driveway and the lot
A garage addition changes how the front of the house works. We look at the driveway width, the slope to the street, drainage away from the foundation and where snow will go in winter, so the new garage is easy to use every day, not just good-looking from the road.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.
Can you build a suite above a garage addition?
Yes. It needs proper fire separation from the garage, insulation and its own heating plan, all covered in the drawings and permit.
Who issues permits for additions in Brooklin?
The Town of Whitby, since Brooklin is part of Whitby.
Will the addition match my house?
That is the goal. We match rooflines, window styles and exterior materials as closely as they are still available.
