Home Addition Framing North York — Licensed, Insured & 5-Star Rated
North York's Go-To Addition Framing Contractor
Home addition framing in North York covers second-floor additions, rear additions, side additions, garage conversions, and in-law suite framing built to Ontario Building Code and left inspection-ready.
Home Addition Framing North York needs clean layout, code-aware framing, and an inspection-ready handoff from the start. North York is one of the most active areas in the GTA for home additions — and for good reason. Established neighbourhoods like Willowdale, Bayview Village, and the Lawrence Park border area are filled with well-maintained bungalows and split-levels sitting on generous lots that are ideal for expansion.
Timberr Framing is a fully licensed home addition framing contractor serving North York and surrounding communities. We frame bungalow-to-two-storey conversions, rear family room additions, side extensions, and in-law suites — all built to Ontario Building Code and left inspection-ready.
We carry $5M in liability insurance, are registered with WSIB, and hold a 5.0 rating across 40 Google reviews and 11 HomeStars reviews, and deliver the same quality on a single-storey rear bump-out as on a full second-floor build. North York homeowners are investing in their properties rather than trading up — and the framing has to be right from the start.
Whether you are converting a 1960s bungalow into a two-storey home in Willowdale, building a rear extension near Sheppard Avenue, or adding a secondary suite for aging parents in Newtonbrook, Timberr Framing delivers house addition framing in North York that is structurally sound and ready for every trade that follows.

Our Addition Framing Services In North York
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. In North York, bungalow-to-two-storey conversions are one of the most common projects we handle. We work with your architect and engineer to execute the plan with precision.
The existing foundation and first-floor framing must support the new load. Many North York bungalows were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and their foundations need careful assessment before a second storey goes on. Timberr Framing evaluates the full scope and frames accordingly.
Rear Addition Framing
Rear additions are a practical way to expand your North York home without altering the front elevation. We frame rear bump-outs, kitchen extensions, family room additions, and full-width rear builds — properly tied into your existing structure.
North York lots tend to be deeper than downtown Toronto properties, giving homeowners more room for meaningful rear expansions. All rear addition framing is completed to Ontario Building Code with clean tie-ins to the original frame.
Side Addition Framing
Side additions extend your living space into the side yard. In North York, many older homes sit on wider lots that can accommodate a side build — adding a bedroom wing, an expanded kitchen, or ground-floor living space.
Timberr Framing handles the structural framing for side additions of all sizes, ensuring proper structural integration with the existing home and compliance with municipal setback requirements.
Garage Conversion & Addition Framing
Converting an existing garage into living space or building a new attached garage addition requires structural framing that meets code — especially when adding living space above. North York homeowners frequently convert detached garages or build new attached structures with second-floor bonus rooms.
We frame garage-to-suite conversions, garage additions with upper-level living space, and standalone garage structures. All work is inspection-ready.
In-Law Suite & Secondary Suite Framing
In-law suites are in strong demand across North York as families look to house multiple generations under one roof. 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 framing.
Timberr Framing understands the code requirements for secondary suites and frames accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions — Home Addition Framing North York
How much does home addition framing cost in North York?
Costs vary based on the addition type, overall square footage, and structural requirements. A rear addition frame is generally the most budget-friendly option. Second-floor additions — including the popular bungalow-to-two-storey conversion — cost more because of the structural reinforcement typically needed for the existing foundation and first floor.
Garage conversions and in-law suites depend on the extent of structural work involved. Contact Timberr Framing for a free, detailed quote based on your specific North York project.

How long does addition framing take?
Timeline varies by project. A rear addition frame is typically completed in one to two weeks. A full second-floor addition or bungalow conversion generally requires two to four weeks depending on scope and structural complexity.
Timberr Framing provides a clear schedule at the quoting stage and communicates consistently throughout the build.
Do I need a structural engineer?
Almost always, yes. Any addition involving load-bearing changes, foundation modifications, or a second-floor build requires structural engineering. The municipality will need engineered drawings as part of your building permit application.
Timberr Framing coordinates directly with structural engineers and frames to their specifications. We ensure the work meets all requirements for municipal inspection.
Can you tie a new addition into my existing home?
Yes — and this is one of the most critical parts of addition framing. A poor connection between old and new framing creates structural weakness, moisture problems, and headaches for every subsequent trade.
Timberr Framing specializes in structural tie-ins between new additions and existing homes. We assess your existing framing, trace load paths, and make a solid connection — whether it is a rear extension, side build, or a full second floor on a 1960s bungalow.
Do I need a building permit for framing?
Yes. Every home addition in North York requires a building permit before construction starts. This includes second-floor additions, rear extensions, side builds, garage conversions, and in-law suites.
Timberr Framing frames every addition to Ontario Building Code and delivers inspection-ready work. Permits are typically managed by the homeowner or their GC — we frame to your approved permit drawings.
What is the difference between an addition and a renovation?
An addition expands your home's footprint or adds a new storey — creating new square footage. A renovation reworks existing space without changing the overall size of the home.
Timberr Framing handles both. For renovation framing work, visit our renovation framing services page.
Do you work with builders and general contractors?
Yes. Timberr Framing regularly works as a framing subcontractor for general contractors overseeing addition projects in North York and across the GTA.
We are experienced coordinating with other trades and meeting the scheduling demands of residential construction. If you are a GC looking for a reliable addition framing sub, reach out to discuss your project.
What areas do you serve?
Can you frame an in-law suite that meets Ontario code for a secondary suite?
Yes. Ontario Building Code requires secondary suites to meet specific standards for fire separation, sound transmission, separate egress, and minimum ceiling heights. The framing must be designed around all of these requirements from the start.
Timberr Framing builds secondary suite framing to code — including fire-rated wall assemblies, sound isolation framing, and proper egress window framing. All work is left inspection-ready.
