How we doubled the size of our 500 sq ft home in one excavation job this summer

How we doubled the size of our 500 sq ft home in one summer

Renovation is not a simple task but, at times, an urgent need. For us, all this started with the ever-growing family and further space requirements. Our 500 sq ft home, once cozy and decent in size, started feeling crampy at this time as our needs evolved. From the basic kitchen renovation to needing further living space, doubling the size of our house became not an option but a must.

Need for excavation services

Little did we know that building an addition onto a home wasn’t as cut and dry as it would have been, extending outward. The grounds could have been better, and the structure required some excavation. We needed some suitable excavation service that would prepare the site properly for an appropriate and safely laid foundation for the new space.

Choosing the right suppliers

It was essential to choose the right contractors; we wanted to avoid playing with the most important project of our lives. Our guiding keys were experience, reliability, and reputation. We researched a lot, trying to find companies with good reviews. Besides these credentials, we also cared about transparency, clarity on the contractor’s side, and the ability to hear us out.

Our selection: Who we chose and why

Following our meetings with several companies, we finally chose Excavations Laurentides, which has excellent experience in home extensions. Our friends highly recommended their work, and the prices were competitive, but their listening attitude won our hearts. They took the time to explain the excavation process to us and made sure we felt comfortable about every decision.

The renovation process: How it all came together

The construction crew did not waste time getting started for the excavation. Everything was well planned and keenly considered down to the last details, from maintaining the home’s structural integrity to increasing the area. That summer, we often called the contractors to ensure our ideas and decisions were communicated. This team knew how to handle everything professionally despite setbacks like unforeseen delays in weather that slowed the project.

What we learned and what we loved

Renovation wasn’t about expanding the house but changing how we would live. A much more functional and comfortable home was now taking shape, which was exciting. The process taught us that one should choose the right partners but not hurry-good things take time.

Ultimately, it was not just a renovation of a house but a satisfying journey of growth and learning. To anyone willing to embark on a similar project, choose your team, take your time planning, and be ready for a few bumps. The result will be well worth your time.
