Project description
The front addition on this Fentiman Avenue home in Old Ottawa South had lost adequate structural support at the foundation and needed permanent stabilization before any exterior work could proceed. This was a separate scope from the main house renovation, focused entirely on making the addition structurally sound. Durabest Stucco installed steel support posts at the foundation to stabilize and carry the existing addition.
Reinforced concrete columns were constructed where required to provide permanent structural support and ensure the long-term integrity of the addition. Once the structural work and framing were complete, a full stucco system was applied across the addition to match the finished exterior of the property. The completed work leaves the front addition properly supported and fully finished.

Challenge & Solution
The Challenge
The existing front addition lacked adequate structural support at the foundation and could not safely carry its load over the long term. Stabilizing it required structural intervention at the foundation level before framing or any exterior finishing could begin.
Our Solution
We installed steel support posts at the foundation to stabilize and carry the existing addition, then constructed reinforced concrete columns where required to provide permanent structural support. Once the framing was complete, a full stucco system was applied across the addition.
Results Achieved
The front addition now rests on a properly built support system of steel posts and reinforced concrete columns that secures its long-term structural integrity. The finished stucco application ties the addition into the rest of the home exterior for a consistent, complete appearance.
