Extra Space and Income
What Building a Secondary Suite Can Do For Your Home
From aging parents to grown kids to rental income, a secondary suite turns your home into something far more capable. It’s the smartest way to expand your lifestyle, without expanding your footprint.
This isn’t just a suite. It’s a way to take care of the people you love.
Whether it’s aging parents who need to be close, or grown kids who aren’t quite ready to leave the nest, a separate suite gives everyone breathing room. They stay connected, but still feel independent.
No awkward shared bathrooms. No stepping on each other’s routines.
You get peace of mind. They get comfort and privacy. And you all get to stay close without sacrificing space or sanity.
If family matters, this is the smartest square footage you can add.
Most people don’t realize how much potential is hiding in their own backyard, above their garage, or in their basement.
A secondary suite transforms underused space into something that works for your life. A guest house. A home office. A place to host in-laws without giving up your own
bedroom. You choose how it fits.
It’s not just about having more room. It’s about using the room you already have in
smarter ways.
Let’s make your home work harder for you.
This is how your home starts paying you back.
A well-built suite can bring in long-term rental income, Airbnb revenue, or add huge
resale value if you decide to sell down the road. And with today’s demand for flexible
housing, these spaces aren’t just nice to have, they’re in demand.
You don’t need to guess or gamble. We’ll guide you through every decision so you build something that’s code-compliant, rentable, and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
if you still have questions after reading below, fill out our form and reach out to us. We’d love to help.
What is a Secondary Suite/Accessory Unit?
Secondary suites are self-contained, separate living units within a single family home. They are sometimes called “accessory apartments,” “granny flats,” or “in-law suites.”
These secondary units can be created in a variety of ways, such as by upgrading a basement, garage, or attic space, or by adding an extension to the existing home.
Why Do I Need a Secondary Suite?
There are several reasons why you may want to include a secondary suite in your Brantford home.
For starters, the easy answer is that i can provide a steady source of income if you opt to use the accessory unit as a rental dwelling.
Alternatively the additional living capacity can provide you the extra space you need if your parents or in-laws wish to move closer to your family.
The extra space will also increase the resale value of your home. Astute buyers will understand the value of a rental unit immediately.
How Much Does a Secondary Suite Cost?
A private accessory dwelling unit’s (ADU) cost will likely be more than a typical basement renovation or home-addition due to the requirements to a bathroom and kitchen.
Also, if creating the secondary suite as a home extension or addition, your costs will depend on a variety of factors too difficult to judge without inspecting the property.
Please reach out to us to schedule a consultation to take a closer look at what will be involved in developing your secondary suite!
Is the 3D design phase included or billed separately. What happens if I don’t move forward?
Yes. Design, finish selections, and the fixed quotation are part of our Pre-Construction Agreement. If you decide not to build, you keep the drawings for a modest design fee.
Do you manage drawings, city permits, and inspections, or is that on me?
We do. Our team prepares drawings, submits applications, and meets inspectors on site.
You receive copies of every approval for your records.
What protection do I have if something needs attention after you leave?
Two years on workmanship plus all manufacturer warranties. We provide a complimentary 30-day and a 6-month follow-up visit.
Do you work beyond Brantford, or only within city limits?
We serve Brant County, Paris, Ancaster, Kitchener, and West Hamilton. Projects beyond that radius are considered case by case.
How often will I get updates, and who is my point of contact day-to-day?
You have one project manager and an online dashboard that shows daily photos, milestone check-offs, and next-week plans. Expect a status call or email every Friday.
What insurance and licensing do you have?
HACHE carries $2 million in general liability insurance, WSIB coverage for all our teams, and every trade we hire is fully licensed and insured. This way your project is protected from start to finish.
