Home Additions in Hamilton
Need more space without leaving the home you love? Lugo Home Services builds thoughtfully designed home additions that create more living space while blending naturally with your existing property.
Home Additions done properly
A home addition is the biggest project most homeowners take on, and it lives or dies on planning. We start with what you actually need — an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen, a family room, a mudroom, a proper home office — then work back through structure, permits and budget before a shovel goes in the ground.
We build rear and side room additions, home extensions, expanded kitchens, and second-storey additions where the existing structure and foundation allow. On every build we match rooflines, siding, brick, windows and trim to the existing house so the addition reads as original rather than bolted on.
Construction runs in clear stages: excavation and foundation, framing and roof, windows and exterior envelope, then mechanical rough-ins, insulation, drywall and finishing. City inspections happen at set points along the way, and we coordinate all of them so you don't have to.

Common questions
Home additions in Hamilton generally run from about $350 to $550 per square foot depending on foundation work, whether it's single or two storeys, and the level of finishing. A small bump-out is a very different number from a full second storey — we price each one after seeing the property.
Yes, always. Additions require stamped drawings, a City of Hamilton building permit, and inspections at several stages. We prepare the drawings, submit the application and coordinate every inspection for you.
Most additions take about 3 to 6 months on site, with permitting and design adding roughly 1 to 3 months before construction starts. We give you a stage-by-stage schedule with your quote.
Yes — matching is a core part of the job. We source brick, siding, roofing and window profiles to match the original, and carry interior trim, flooring and ceiling heights through so the transition doesn't read as an add-on.
Very often that's the main reason for the addition. Pushing out the back of the house lets us create a larger kitchen and open dining area in one project rather than two.
It depends on your numbers, but when you factor in land transfer tax, realtor fees, legal costs and moving, an addition frequently costs less than buying a larger home in the same area — and you keep the neighbourhood you already like.
