We measure your lot's depth and shape before designing, since setback room can differ from one street to the next.
Barrhaven is a growing suburb in Ottawa's southwest end, with a mix of established sections and newer growth areas still being built out.
Newer Barrhaven homes are typically on poured concrete foundations, which we confirm before tying a new footing into them below frost depth.
This Barrhaven project turned the unfinished space under the roofline into a finished bonus room. We framed the sloped ceiling and knee walls, then hung, taped and painted the drywall. A new window went in with wood trim to match the door casing, the room was wired for three ceiling fans, and hardwood flooring now runs wall to wall. The photo shows the room at completion, ready to move into.

Home Additions Experts Ottawa transformed our small home by creating the extra living space our family needed. The process was well managed, the crew was courteous, and the final result is both practical and beautiful.
Barrhaven is still growing, and that growth means established sections sit alongside subdivisions still being built out. Newer Barrhaven lots were platted under current setback and coverage standards, which often leaves predictable room for an addition, while older sections can vary more. We confirm your specific property’s rear-yard setback rather than assuming from how new or old the surrounding streets look.
Even within a single newer subdivision, lot depth and shape vary. Ask for your property's specific figure.
Side and rear setback for a garage addition can differ from the main-house setback. Ask what applies to your lot.
