Home Renovations & Additions

Why Do a Home Renovation?

Renovating your home isn’t just a way to make a style statement or bring things up to building code. It’s also about making your living space, well… more livable. Life changes, like a new child, an elderly parent moving in, or a work from home opportunity, often mean your home needs to evolve. Renovating can help you use your space better, whether by adding more rooms, upgrading the existing ones, or just making your overall home more comfortable.

What if you need more space but love your current home’s design and layout? In this case, a home addition is a great option. And it will be your builder’s skill that will determine how successfully it integrates into your existing living space.

This is also true for a house lift. An experienced custom home builder will know how to execute all of the complexities of lifting a house without making the end result look like an obviously lifted home.

The Role of Quality in Renovations

When you’re embarking on a home renovation, the right team makes all the difference. Just like building a new house, renovating requires a skilled hand and sharp eye. A quality-focused contractor will insist on using the best materials and latest build techniques to ensure you get an outcome that not only exceeds your expectations, but stands the test of time.

Horizon is that home builder. It’s why we have nurtured close partnerships with the best local cabinetmakers, metal fabricators, painters, tilers, masons, architects, interior designers, and other artisans — people at the pinnacle of their craft. With us, you’re hiring remodelling experts who find joy in their work and value fine craftmanship every step of the way.

Home Additions the Right Way

In Victoria BC — a city where real estate comes at a premium — opting for a home addition is a smart and economical choice. Particularly if you live in one of those charming, sought-after neighbourhoods with older homes and spacious yards. These additions are an opportunity to add a variety of modern touches into your home while keeping its unique character intact.

Imagine the possibilities when you think about the aspects of your home you cherish and those you wish were different. Whether it’s creating that dream kitchen, adding an inlaw suite, or designing a personal workspace, a home addition can transform your current space to perfectly suit your lifestyle and needs, all without the hassle and expense of moving to a new house.

House Lifts Raise your Home’s Value

Are you in a Victoria neighbourhood where building down instead of out is the only option? Raising your home could be the perfect solution for adding a basement suite or custom amenities such as a home theatre, gym, or home office.

House lifting heritage homes is our specialty. We know these homes require special attention as well as a particular building treatment to ensure the finishes and features seamlessly match the era of the existing home. When complete, the best home lifts look like the home was never raised at all.
