Expand Your Home, Not Your Mortgage

A home addition is one of the smartest investments you can make in Edmonton's housing market. Instead of uprooting your family and taking on a bigger mortgage, you can add the space you need right where you are — in the neighbourhood you love, at the school your kids attend, close to the people and places that matter.

At Novesta, we handle your home addition from design through completion. Our design-build process means one contractor, one point of contact, and no runaround between trades. We manage foundation, framing, roofing, siding, insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishing — all to code and on budget.
