Additions & Extensions
We handle a wide range of home additions, including second-storey extensions, garages, sunrooms, in-law suites, and expanded kitchens or dining rooms. Every project is custom-designed to fit your lifestyle and your existing home.
Yes — most additions and extensions require permits to meet Ontario’s building codes. MD Construction takes care of the permitting process for you, ensuring your project is compliant, safe, and built to last.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the addition. Smaller extensions may take a few weeks, while larger second-storey builds or in-law suites can take several months. We’ll provide a clear schedule so you know exactly what to expect.
Absolutely. A successful addition should look like it’s always been part of your home. We carefully match exterior materials, roofing, siding, and interior finishes so the new space flows seamlessly.
A well-designed addition typically increases both usable space and resale value. Extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or in-law suites are especially attractive to buyers. Beyond market value, additions improve your everyday comfort and flexibility. For more ideas on return-on-investment projects, explore our MD Journal.
In most cases, you can remain in your home while the addition is being built. Depending on the scope—such as second-storey additions or major structural work—temporary relocation may be recommended for comfort and safety. We’ll review this during your consultation and plan the project to minimize disruption as much as possible.
Exterior Upgrades
We handle everything from roofing and siding to decks, fencing, windows, doors, soffits, fascia, and eavestroughs. Each upgrade is designed to improve your home’s protection, performance, and curb appeal.
With quality materials and proper installation, most upgrades—like new roofing, siding, or windows—are built to last for decades. We’ll recommend the best options for your home and Ontario’s climate.

Yes. If we find structural or water damage during the project, we’ll repair it before installing new materials. This ensures your upgrades aren’t just cosmetic—they’re built on a solid foundation.
During your consultation, we’ll inspect your exterior and recommend upgrades based on condition, energy efficiency, and long-term value. We’ll prioritize what matters most so you can plan with confidence.
Maintenance/Repairs
We take on a wide range of projects: shed and outbuilding repairs, deck and fence fixes, siding and exterior woodwork, door and window replacements, drywall/trim/flooring repairs, water-damage remediation, and more.
Absolutely. Whether it’s patching drywall, replacing trim, or repairing an outbuilding, no job is too small. We believe every repair deserves expert care.
Most small repairs are scheduled within a couple of weeks and completed in a few hours to a day. Larger items (e.g., deck sections, exterior rot repair) typically take 1–3 days. Lead times depend on parts/materials and weather for exterior work—if something’s urgent, tell us and we’ll try to fast-track it.
Every repair is different. Pricing depends on the type of work, materials needed, and the condition of the area being fixed. Smaller repairs often take less time, while larger or more complex projects may require custom materials or additional labour.
