If you're not familiar with the idea of modular additions, this
involves a process where the walls and roofing materials are
pre-built off-site and then installed on-site in a very short period
of time.
DAY 1 I 9:00 am Demolition
of existing roof begins.
Modular Home Additions, a Toronto-based company that
specializes in modular additions, was able to transform this home
from a bungalow to a two-story while only being on-site for two
days! The second story is completely framed, protected and
ready for windows, shingles and interior and exterior finishes.
There are a number of benefits to adding onto your home in this
manner.
STAY AT HOME On the first day on-site, the existing roof is
completely demolished and the Modular Home Additions team
installs protection to keep the lower floor safe. This means you
are able to stay in your home throughout the process, a benefit
that can greatly reduce the stress and eliminate some of the
living costs that come with traditional additions!
DAY 1 I 2:00 pm
Existing roof has been removed
and protection for the lower
floor has been installed.
MINIMAL MESS Garbage created from the removal of the
existing roof is cleaned up the same day and because the walls
and roof are pre-built off-site at the Modular Home Additions
factory, you don't have the normal mess of construction or
headache of finding space for construction materials. The pieces
arrive and are installed all on the same day.
DAY 2 I 9:00 am
Pre-built walls are
lifted into place and
installed.
DAY 2 I 10:00 am
Roof trusses are
installed.
HAPPY NEIGHBORS There is nothing worse than waking up
one morning to discover that your neighbors have embarked on
a month long, noisy renovation process that is going to leave the
neighborhood a mess and you sleep deprived. Not only does
this process result in much less mess, but neighbors appreciate
that the disruption to their everyday lives will be minimal as well!
