Home Additions and Extensions in the Glebe
When your home no longer provides enough space, an addition may allow you to stay in the Glebe without compromising your family’s needs.
Carrey Construction designs and builds rear extensions, second-storey additions, and expanded living areas. Our team considers the existing structure, available lot space, and applicable zoning requirements when planning the work. We also pay attention to rooflines, exterior materials, and architectural proportions so the new addition integrates naturally with the original home.
Renovating Older Homes in the Glebe

Renovations to these properties may involve adapting older layouts, addressing structural deterioration, and incorporating modern building systems without unnecessarily removing distinctive elements.

Yes, in many cases, walls can be removed or modified to create more open living spaces. If a wall is load-bearing, structural assessment and appropriate reinforcement are required before changes can be made. The feasibility depends on the home’s existing construction.
A second-storey addition may be possible depending on the building’s structural capacity, foundation, lot configuration, and zoning requirements. The existing structure must be evaluated to determine whether reinforcement or other modifications are necessary.
Permits may be required for structural modifications, additions, and certain changes to building systems. Requirements depend on the scope of work and the property’s specific circumstances. Homeowners should confirm applicable permits with the City of Ottawa before construction begins.
