Home renovations are booming across Sydney’s North Shore, particularly in...
Second Story Additions
Is your home too small for your families current needs? Do you love the area you are in but need more room? Your home may not be as big as it seemed when you first moved in. As our lives change and families evolve, you will find there comes a time your home needs to grow too. While extending a single-story home can deliver the extra bit of space needed to grow, sometimes it isn’t enough. The ultimate solution? Adding a whole new level.
A second story can provide great flexibility for your family with the potential of new bedrooms, bathrooms or extra living areas. By adding an entirely new story, you can maximise your space completely, delivering your family with more room to grow.
A home extension is a great way to enhance your lifestyle and make your home the space you’ve always dreamt of. Our highly experienced team will build a quality custom second story addition that will seamlessly connect your original build to the newer addition. Catering to both interior and exterior, we will produce you a cohesive design that will have others believing your home was only ever a double story build!
We will take the time to understand your needs and wants and produce a home that is not only practical, but stunning in it’s design. Plus, we make the entire process easy for you with our exceptional customer service, preparing the plans, submitting it to the council and managing the project from start to finish.
Are you looking for first level additions and second story renovations to your existing home? In addition to second story additions, we also specialise in extensions, renovations and indoor outdoor spaces.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our renovations completed by SBS and we are very happy with the results.
Scott and the team were very patient with us as we tweaked and tuned designs providing their input as needed.
A couple of small issues at the end were fixed and cleaned up without fuss. Great service and workmanship.

Even with the COVID restrictions they managed to complete our renovation on the timetable last year. We are very impressed by their good team work and professional manners. The project also finished within our budget... Thanks again for your help. "Would definitely recommend"

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SBS Building Services completed a large, multifaceted extension and renovation project for us approximately five years ago. We would wholeheartedly, unequivocally and sincerely recommend SBS for a myriad of reasons.
The first time we met Scott Harwood, the Director of SBS Building Services, we were impressed. Scott has a true moral compass, is affable, professional, a master at his craft and provided us with a competitive quote. SBS’s level of engagement and professionalism towards us as a client continued throughout the entire journey of our large building project and the team’s collective commitment to us as a valued customer was steadfast and never wavered pre and post contract execution.
Our project encompassed a 100 square metre extension to our home (bedrooms, ensuites, kitchen, garage) along with a complete internal and external renovation of our existing home including: new carpeting, new bathroom, fresh paint inside and out, the removal of an internal wall, new tiles, some new windows, new internal and external doors (including security doors), a new roof, a new laundry and landscaping amongst other items. All the work was completed to an exceptionally high standard and SBS were extremely flexible working with us throughout the project to accommodate our variations as the project progressed. SBS were always available to talk and no question was ever too large or too small. We felt supported and that was a critical aspect for us.
The work SBS completed for us still looks excellent after five years and that speaks volumes and is testament to their high quality standards along with their meticulous and thorough workmanship.
Scott’s entire team were fantastic from the various skilled and organised foremen who always kept us apprised through to the large number of specialist trades and wonderful office support staff. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in calling on SBS again in the future for any building needs that we may have. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with them.
Thank-you, once again, to Scott and his team for all their hard work and dedication.

They made our living/kitchen/outdoor renovation easy to live thru and it came thru on time and on budget.
The result was fantastic.
Thanks to Scott, Stuart, Geoff, Kristie and the rest of the team for all their hard work and great communication.
Definitely builders we would recommend to anyone looking to renovate their home.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were lucky enough to get sbs do what turned in to a complete Reno in Thornleigh last year. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Scott and Stuart were quick to give a detailed quote, then proceed with fantastic young tradesmen who had great eye for detail and perfectionist attitude to doing things the correct way. The office kept us informed every step of the way when we added and changed things. Never a bother. Our home was transformed ! The Reno was an effortless and exciting time in our life which I’m sure a lot of people doing such a job that would not have been their experience.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. - SBS are large enough to manage professionally
- But small enough to listen and accommodate
- We are exceptionally happy with the results
- I hope you find SBS as great a company I have.
