Our Addition Framing Services In Burlington

Second-Floor Addition Framing
Complete structural framing for second-floor additions — including new floor systems, load-bearing walls, roof framing, and structural tie-ins to your existing home. Burlington has a large inventory of single-storey homes from the 1950s through 1970s, and second-floor addition framing is one of the most effective ways to double living space on these properties.
The existing foundation and first-floor framing must carry the new load. Timberr Framing evaluates the full structure and frames accordingly — no shortcuts.

Rear Addition Framing
Rear additions are the most common addition type in Burlington. Homeowners expand kitchens, add family rooms, and create open-concept living areas by building into their backyards. We frame rear bump-outs, kitchen extensions, and full-width rear builds — all properly connected to your existing structure.
All rear addition framing in Burlington is completed to Ontario Building Code with solid structural tie-ins.

Side Addition Framing
Side additions add square footage by extending into your side yard. In Burlington, these projects often require attention to the city's specific setback and lot coverage requirements.
Timberr Framing handles structural framing for side additions of all sizes — from modest extensions on tighter lots to larger builds where space allows.

Garage Conversion & Addition Framing
Converting a garage into living space or building a new attached garage addition requires structural framing that meets code. In Burlington's established neighbourhoods, garage conversions are an efficient way to add a home office, suite, or additional living area without expanding the footprint.
We frame garage-to-suite conversions, garage additions with second-floor living space, and standalone garage structures. All work is inspection-ready.

In-Law Suite & Secondary Suite Framing
In-law suites are increasingly common in Burlington as families look for multi-generational housing solutions. Whether you are building a basement suite, a ground-floor addition, or a second-floor unit, the framing must meet Ontario Building Code requirements for separate dwelling units — including fire separation, egress, and sound isolation.
Timberr Framing understands the code requirements for secondary suites and builds the frame to pass inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions — Home Addition Framing Burlington
What does home addition framing cost in Burlington?
Addition framing costs in Burlington depend on the type of addition, square footage, and structural complexity involved.
A rear addition frame is usually the most budget-friendly option. Second-floor additions require more structural work — especially on Burlington's older homes where the foundation may need reinforcement to carry the new load.
Garage conversions and in-law suites vary based on the structural scope required.

How long does addition framing take?
Timeline depends on scope. A standard rear addition frame usually takes one to two weeks. A full second-floor addition takes two to four weeks based on the size and complexity.
Timberr Framing provides a clear project schedule at the quoting stage and communicates throughout the build.
Do I need a structural engineer?
In most cases, yes. Any addition that involves load-bearing changes, new foundation work, or a second-floor build will require structural engineering. The City of Burlington requires engineered drawings as part of the permit application.
Timberr Framing works closely with structural engineers and frames to their specifications throughout the project.
Can you tie a new addition into my existing home?
Yes — and this is one of the most critical parts of any addition. A poor tie-in creates structural problems, moisture intrusion, and issues for every finishing trade.
Timberr Framing specializes in structural tie-ins between new additions and existing Burlington homes. We evaluate the existing framing, map load paths, and connect the new structure properly.
Do I need a building permit for framing?
Yes. Any home addition in Burlington requires a building permit from the City of Burlington before work begins. This includes second-floor additions, rear additions, side additions, garage conversions, and in-law suites.
Timberr Framing frames every addition to Ontario Building Code and ensures all work is inspection-ready at handoff.
