Home additions in Clarington
Clarington covers Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle as well as wide rural areas around Orono, Hampton and Enniskillen. Many country properties here have a ranch bungalow on a big lot, with room to grow sideways rather than up.
A single-storey wing keeps everything on one level: a main-floor primary suite, a great room with a vaulted ceiling, or both. It is a good fit for owners who plan to stay for the long term and want to avoid stairs later on.

Approvals in Clarington
The Municipality of Clarington issues building permits and applies its zoning by-law. On rural lots, a new wing has to keep its distance from the well and the septic bed, and the system may need upgrading if bedrooms are added. Much of Clarington drains to creeks watched by CLOCA or the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, so we check whether a permit is needed.

Getting more from a big lot
Rural lots often have the best view off the side or back of the house. Placing an addition toward that view, with the sun in mind, can change how the whole home feels.

Heating and power for a new wing
An older furnace or a 100-amp panel may not carry a new wing. We review the heating, the electrical service and the hot water early, and plan any upgrades with the addition, so the new rooms are as comfortable as the rest of the house from the first winter.

Laura Barrett
After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.
From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.
The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.
Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
We are so happy with the final results! -

Communication was seamless throughout the process; they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to address any questions or concerns. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed-upon budget, reflecting their commitment to reliability and efficiency.
The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, with meticulous craftsmanship evident in every facet of the build. The final result is a stunning cottage that not only meets but surpasses our vision.
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.
Ps. Thanks for the invite to your cottage this summer! Looking forward to it!
