Modern additions in Pickering
Pickering's established neighbourhoods, from the Bay Ridges area to the streets around Liverpool Road and Rosebank, have bungalows and split-levels on lots that newer subdivisions cannot match. Owners want more room without giving up those yards and trees.
A modern two-storey addition across the back of a bungalow can add an open kitchen and family room below and bedrooms above. A contrasting exterior in dark siding and cedar can look sharp beside original brick.

Approvals in Pickering
The City of Pickering issues building permits and applies its zoning by-law for height, setbacks and lot coverage. Much of the city drains to creeks and Frenchman's Bay, so properties near ravines or valleys can fall under the TRCA, which has its own permit process. We check both before design is set.

Connecting to the backyard
Many Pickering owners bought their house for the yard. A rear addition is the chance to connect to it properly: wide sliding or folding doors, a low deck or patio at floor height and a kitchen that looks straight out to where the kids play.

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

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Tell us about your project and ask us directly.
Can an addition look modern beside an older brick house?
Yes. A clean contrast in dark siding, cedar and large windows often looks better than an imperfect match.
Does the TRCA need to approve my addition?
Only if your property is in a regulated area near a creek, ravine or the lake. We check that early.
Who issues permits in Pickering?
The City of Pickering.
