All Permits Managed For You
North York split-levels and raised bungalows were built in the 1960s and 70s for single income families with two or three kids at most. The layouts are clever but tight - divided floors, low ceilings in some sections, kitchens tucked away from the living areas.
Many North York homes were originally designed for smaller
families and older layouts. As living needs change, homeowners
often look for ways to create more functional space without
leaving the neighbourhood they already enjoy.
A second
floor addition can help improve layout flexibility, increase
living space, and modernize the home while remaining in an
established community.
Adding a second floor keeps you in the school district, on the street, and in the city you already know. It is almost always the better financial decision.
Many North York properties offer layouts that may support second floor addition opportunities depending on zoning, structural conditions, and project design.
A second floor addition may include additional bedrooms, bathrooms, office space, or expanded living areas depending on the goals of the project. Your main floor becomes what it should have been all along living room, dining, kitchen, and nothing else.
GYRM handles everything under one contract. Structural engineering, permit submissions, framing, mechanical rough-ins, insulation, drywall, finishes. GYRM Construction focuses on organized project coordination and transparent communication throughout the construction process
Every second floor addition project is different depending on property conditions, permits, structural requirements, finishes, and overall project scope.
GYRM Construction works closely with homeowners throughout North York and the GTA to help coordinate planning, approvals, and construction management based on the needs of each property.
A consultation and site review help determine the most suitable approach for the project.
We visit your North York property, review the existing structure, and walk you through scope, timeline, and realistic cost ranges.
A structural engineer assesses your foundation and framing. Drawings are prepared and submitted to the City. We manage all plan examiner correspondence.
The existing roof is removed. New floor structure, walls, and roof are framed. Temporary weatherproofing is in place within 24 hours of roof removal.
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are roughed in and inspected by the City. All inspection scheduling is managed by GYRM.
Insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, and fixtures are installed. We do a final walkthrough together before the project is closed.
