Additions for Lindsay homes
Lindsay's older streets, a short walk from Kent Street and the river, have red brick Victorians with gingerbread trim and tall windows. Their kitchens are often tucked at the back, with little light and no room to sit.
A sympathetic rear addition in matching or complementary brick, with a metal roof and tall windows, can add a breakfast room and a larger kitchen. The trim, window shape and roof pitch are drawn from the original so the addition fits the street.

Approvals in Lindsay
The City of Kawartha Lakes issues building permits for Lindsay and applies its zoning limits. Homes near the Scugog River may need a permit from Kawartha Conservation. Older homes can have stone or brick foundations, so we plan how the new foundation sits beside the old one.

Town living in an older home
Lindsay's older streets are close to shops, the river and the trails, which is why owners stay. An addition lets an older house keep up with modern life while keeping its place on a street with real character.

Trim and window details
The details make or break an addition on a Victorian house. We look at the window shape, the brick arches, the eaves and the trim profiles on the original and carry the right ones into the new part, so the addition feels like it belongs on the street.

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!

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.
Can you match the brick on my Lindsay Victorian?
Sometimes closely. When an exact match is not available, we look at reclaimed brick or a complementary material.
Who issues permits in Lindsay?
The City of Kawartha Lakes, with Kawartha Conservation where a lot is near the river.
Can we stay in the house during a rear addition?
Usually, yes. The new part is built first and the opening into the house is made near the end.
