Which brands are part of your group?
Garden Suite Home – Full-service design and construction of garden suites (Accessory Dwelling Units)

How long does it take to build a Garden Suite?
The entire process—from property evaluation to permits and construction—typically takes 6 to 9 months depending on design complexity and municipal approvals.
Can I customize the design of my Garden Suite?
Absolutely. Choose from our pre-designed models or collaborate with our team for a fully custom suite that suits your lifestyle and property.
What permits do I need to get started?
Permits vary by municipality, but usually include zoning approval, building permits, surveys, and reports. We manage the entire permitting process on your behalf.
Can I finance my Garden Suite project?
Yes. Homeowners in Ontario can apply for refinancing or renovation loans. We assist you in preparing the necessary documentation for lenders.
What’s the best financing option for me?
It depends on your financial goals. Refinancing is ideal for larger projects, while renovation loans suit smaller builds or short-term investments. Our team will guide you through both.
How much rental income can I expect from a Garden Suite?
In the GTA, long-term rentals typically yield $2,000–$3,000/month. Short-term rentals can generate $150–$250 per night before management fees.
Is it legal to rent out a Garden Suite?
Yes. As long as the suite is built to code and properly permitted, both long-term and short-term rentals are permitted in most Ontario municipalities.
Are Garden Suites a good investment?
Absolutely. With lower build costs and no land purchase required, they often deliver a better ROI compared to buying condos or secondary properties.
Are there any rebates or city programs for Garden Suites?
Yes. For example, the City of Toronto offers up to 5% cashback and forgivable loans up to $50,000. We handle the entire application process for you.
Is insulation effective for soundproofing?
Yes. We offer 0.5LB spray foam and Safe ‘n’ Sound insulation for soundproofing basements, bathrooms, interior walls, and mechanical rooms. Our team will help you choose the most effective option.
How long does insulation installation take?
Timing depends on the size and type of insulation. Batt insulation is quicker to install. Blow-in can take a few hours, while spray foam may require up to 5 days for a full house. We always provide a clear timeline before starting.
What are the best insulation solutions for ductwork?
Common options include fiberglass duct wrap and 0.5LB spray foam. After assessing your system, our experts recommend the best solution to improve HVAC efficiency and seal gaps.
Can insulation help with mold issues?
While insulation doesn't remove mold, it helps prevent its growth by regulating humidity and reducing condensation. We also evaluate moisture sources and ensure proper ventilation.
Will I still be able to access plumbing and electrical systems after soundproofing my basement?
Yes. Our installation methods ensure continued access to key systems like plumbing and electrical wiring, even after insulation is applied.
