Home Addition Contractor in Newcastle, ON

Henley Contracting is a home addition contractor in Newcastle for side-splits, back-splits and two-storey family homes in the village and the newer subdivisions. We add second floors over garages, ensuite bathrooms, family rooms and bedroom additions, and blend the new rooflines into the existing house so the addition looks finished rather than added on.

Additions for Newcastle homes

Newcastle, in east Clarington, has a historic village centre and neighbourhoods of side-splits and two-storey homes from the 1970s onward. Side-splits in particular often have a garage with a low roof and a bedroom wing that feels small.

Building a second storey over the garage is one of the most efficient additions: the foundation is already there, and it can add a primary suite or two bedrooms with an ensuite without touching the yard.

  • 01 / OVER THE GARAGE

    Use the footprint you already have.

  • 02 / ENSUITES

    Bathrooms added to primary bedrooms.

  • 03 / ROOFLINES BLENDED

    New roofs that suit the house.

  • 04 / MUNICIPAL PERMITS

    Applications to the Municipality of Clarington.

Approvals in Newcastle

Newcastle is part of Clarington, so the Municipality issues the permit. Building over a garage needs an engineer to confirm the garage walls and footings can carry the new floor, and fire separation between the garage and the rooms above. Some lots near creeks fall under the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.

Brighter, warmer, quieter

An addition is a good time to fix nearby problems: replace tired windows, add insulation where walls are opened and upgrade the heating so the whole house is more comfortable.

Matching windows and siding

Side-splits from the 1970s and 80s often have siding colours and window styles that are no longer sold. We look for the closest match, or plan to re-side the whole house with the addition, so the old and new parts read as one finished home.

Frequently asked questions

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

Can you build a second storey over my garage?
Often. An engineer checks that the garage walls and footings can carry it, and the floor needs fire separation from the garage.
Can you add an ensuite to our primary bedroom?
Yes, either inside the existing footprint or as part of an addition. We plan the plumbing route early.
Who issues permits in Newcastle?
The Municipality of Clarington.
