A garden suite is a self-contained home in your backyard: its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and entrance, separate from the main house. Municipalities across Ontario, including Hamilton and Toronto, now allow these additional dwelling units (ADUs) on many residential lots. Final Touch Contract designs and builds garden suites across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and the GTA.
Why Homeowners Build Garden Suites
Three reasons come up again and again: rental income from a unit you own outright, housing for aging parents or adult kids who want independence without distance, and long-term property value. A well-built garden suite serves all three, and you can change its job as your family changes.
What We Handle
Design and construction end to end: foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and the finishes that make it a home rather than a shed with ambitions. Rules on size, placement and servicing vary by municipality and by lot, so we start by assessing what your property allows before you spend money on drawings.
Garden Suite FAQs
Can I build a garden suite on my lot? It depends on your municipality, lot size, rear access and servicing. That’s exactly what the first consultation answers, before you commit to anything.
How much does a garden suite cost? It’s a complete small home, so the budget sits at the upper end of our project range rather than renovation territory. Exact numbers depend on size, site conditions and finishes, and you’ll have them in writing after we see the property.
