East end Addition Barrie
In 2026, homeowners in Barrie’s historic East End face a common challenge: loving their location but outgrowing their space.
This featured project by Reno A Home is a premier example of how to double a home’s utility through a sophisticated two-story addition and garage expansion.

Project Breakdown: 900+ Square Feet of New Living
This comprehensive renovation transformed both the interior footprint and the exterior curb appeal:
- The Multi-Story Addition: A 500 sq. ft. two-story addition was seamlessly integrated into the rear of the home. The interior was finished to a high-luxury standard, featuring hardwood flooring, modern LED pot lights, and a large patio door that floods the new living area with natural light.
- The Garage Expansion: To satisfy the need for storage and workshop space, a 400 sq. ft. garage was built on a durable slab-on-grade foundation. The garage includes both a main roll-up door and a convenient man door for side access.
- Outdoor Living: The second story of the addition opens onto a 160 sq. ft. pressure-treated deck featuring a modern glass railing system, providing unobstructed views of the property.
- Exterior Overhaul: To ensure the addition looked like a natural part of the home, the entire residence received a complete new roof and siding, unifying the old and new sections perfectly.
Engineering & Performance
As a 2026-standard build, energy efficiency and safety were prioritized:
- High-Efficiency Insulation: The addition was wrapped and insulated with R22 insulation and a high-grade vapor barrier, ensuring year-round comfort in the Simcoe County climate.
- Turn-Key Management: Reno A Home handled the entire process, from the initial engineered drawings and City of Barrie building permits to the HVAC, electrical, and drywall finishing.
