Second Story Home Additions | GTA & Toronto Builder
Enjoy the benefits of living in your dream home and maximizing space without the hassles of moving, buying a new home, and leaving your neighbourhood. If you love your current location but need more space to suit your family, consider taking your home to a new level!
Get more out of your home with a second story!
If real estate is all about “location, location, location,” then it would be a mistake to sacrifice your current location just to get the space you need in a new home. Why uproot your family and leave your neighbourhood when you can add more space to your existing home?
Not only does adding a second story give you more square footage, it allows you to plan how you want to design the space. More bedrooms, office, a luxurious master suite? There are many options, and our expert team can help you plan your dream home and inspire you with new ideas.
“At Impericon, we don’t just build structures; we build relationships, trust, and lasting impressions that stand the test of time.”

When the time comes to sell your home, you will benefit from a dramatic increase in the value of your house because of the new addition. Adding a new level to the building provides the immediate benefit of new space and the long-term benefit of added real estate value.
Second-story additions give the benefit of more space without expanding the building footprint, so you don’t have to lose your outdoor space. Keep your gardens, patio, and play areas!
Why you should team up with Curt for adding a second story
Curt and the Impericon team have many years of experience building and expanding homes. There are numerous structural concerns when it comes to building upwards. You can rely on Curt’s engineering education and the architects at Impericon to ensure that your build will account for all foundational and structural concerns. Sleep safely, knowing your house is solid as a rock!
Adding a new story is not a trivial task, and it naturally involves some inconvenience to the family while work is taking place. Curt will work with you so that you can plan effectively for your time out of the house and ensure that work is completed on time so you can return as scheduled. A vital part of this is our intimate knowledge of municipal by-laws and processes so that your project doesn’t get tangled up in unnecessary delays. Typically you can expect to move out for three months; however, this could be up to five months during the Covid era. Either way, we will make sure that you clearly understand the timeline before any work begins.
During the construction work, we make sure to protect your property from the elements. After all, we do live in Canada!
Level up your home with complete peace of mind. The ABC team will work with you from start to finish, and our work is never subbed out to other contractors. You get our personal touch at every step.

What are the benefits of open space design?
Open space homes have become exceptionally popular in recent years, and there are many reasons why. Open space living facilitates family time and social interaction, especially in the evening or on weekends when more people are home. Whether you have small children to keep an eye on or you love entertaining friends and family, an open concept space brings light and flow to your home.
Open-plan spaces provide the flexibility and freedom to design your property exactly how you want it to be without walls limiting the area. As open-plan floors swap wall space for living space, you will also benefit from additional space for more furniture or design elements. This is ideal for families to benefit from more storage space or for sociable couples who need the extra space for entertaining their guests.
There are many important decisions that come into play when converting to an open concept space. Structural concerns are key as compensating for the removal of load-bearing walls will likely mean the installation of a large beam. The type and material of the beam, whether flush or visible as a bulkhead, all require experience and engineering knowledge to manage properly. This is also an opportunity to enlarge or alter your doorways. How about adding a walkout to the patio or yard? What about heating and cooling in the new space?
In every nail hammered and every blueprint sketched, we’re not just constructing buildings; we’re shaping dreams and building legacies.
