Expand Your Living Space

If your home feels too small, a home addition can help. You can gain the extra room you need without losing your yard or curb appeal.

We extend your home’s exterior, matching the siding, trim, and window styles perfectly. Home additions in Vancouver need careful planning to ensure the new space is weatherproof and looks like part of your home.

Local Considerations for Additions

In New Westminster, many homes were built years ago with small floor plans. A growing family can quickly outgrow the original layout.

Our rainy weather requires using exterior-grade materials and proper flashing. We build additions that resist moisture and fit the style of your home’s exterior.

Technical Details of Additions

For a home addition in New Westminster, exterior work starts at the tie-in. Crews remove the old siding and trim. They then place a new weather-resistive barrier over the existing sheathing to ensure that every seam directs water outward. Metal flashing is added at the foundation and around window and door openings before installing new cladding.

Framing uses kiln-dried lumber and engineered rim board that suit New Westminster’s damp climate. Exterior sheathing is attached with small gaps at the panel edges to allow for wood expansion. Fibre-cement siding, PVC trim, and flanged exterior windows resist wet marine air better than untreated wood. Cladding is installed with a ventilated rainscreen gap behind it to help drain and dry any moisture that gets in.

Moisture Management Strategies

New Westminster’s wet coastal winters create constant moisture pressure on an addition’s walls. The drainage plane must stay continuous across the old wall and the new framing. Every horizontal layer should overlap like shingles to direct water down and away. A ventilated gap behind the siding allows water to escape, preventing it from sitting against the sheathing.

At the foundation, flashing and a capillary break stop ground moisture from moving into the sill plate. Around windows and exterior doors, sill pans and head flashings guide water back to the cladding face. Fastening patterns for New Westminster improve stiffness against wind-driven rain while allowing exterior layers to adjust with temperature and humidity changes.

The air barrier on an addition must stay continuous through the existing wall, the new framing, and every exterior penetration. Gaps at the sill or around window flanges can let moist outdoor air reach the back of the sheathing, where it may condense during cool, damp nights. Sealing these transitions stops moisture from being trapped against the structure.

New Westminster Permit Requirements

In New Westminster, you need a building permit before starting a home addition. This is under Building Bylaw No. 8125, 2019. The city’s guidance for single detached homes and duplexes says that you must submit a building permit application along with supporting drawings before any work starts.

Construction noise is controlled by Noise Bylaw No. 6063, 1992. You can work from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm on weekdays, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturdays, and not at all on Sundays or statutory holidays unless you get a variance.

For residential additions, a building permit application and supporting documents are required before work begins.
