Home Additions in Kitchener.
When a Kitchener family outgrows their home, moving is not always the better answer. Between land transfer tax, agent fees and today's prices, building the space you need where you already live often makes far more financial sense.

Built for Kitchener homes.
When a Kitchener family outgrows their home, moving is not always the better answer. Between land transfer tax, agent fees and today's prices, building the space you need where you already live often makes far more financial sense.
Additions are the most technically demanding residential work there is — foundation, structure, roof tie-ins, and matching an existing building so the result never looks bolted on. That is precisely why they belong with a team that manages the whole process.
Home addition work in Kitchener homes
Lot coverage and setbacks in the older Kitchener wards are the first thing to check. A rear addition that works beautifully on paper can fail the zoning review, and it is better to know that before anyone pays for drawings.
Typical investment: $90,000 – $300,000+ · Typical timeline: 3 – 7 months. Zoning, setbacks and what the foundation will take decide what an addition costs in Kitchener. We confirm all three before you pay for drawings.

Your questions, answered.
Additions in Kitchener generally run $90,000 to $300,000+ depending on size, foundation type, and whether you're building up or out. Zoning, setbacks and what the foundation will take decide what an addition costs in Kitchener. We confirm all three before you pay for drawings. Feasibility and a real number come out of the initial consultation and site review.
Always. Additions require stamped drawings, structural engineering and a building permit from the City of Kitchener Building Division. We manage the drawings, the application and the inspection schedule as part of the project.
That's the whole craft. We match rooflines, siding, brick, window proportions and interior trim so the addition reads as though it was always there — not like something bolted onto the back.
We hired Optimal renovation, to do a full renovation of our main floor, bathrooms and Basement. And we are very pleased with the results. The work was done on time
