Types of Additions

Garage Addition

A garage addition is an extension to an existing garage

A garage addition is an extension to an existing garage that adds more space for storage, parking, or other uses. Garage additions are usually attached to the existing structure, but they can also be built as a separate structure. Garage additions typically include features such as additional storage units, additional outlets, and improved insulation. Garage additions can be customized to meet the specific needs of the homeowner. When planning a garage addition, consider the size, shape, and style of the existing garage. Factors such as the type of roof, ceiling height, and the number of windows and doors should be taken into account. Additionally, the type of materials used for the walls and flooring should be considered. The addition should be designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing garage. It is important to consider Ottawa building codes when planning a garage addition. Additionally, the addition should be designed to meet the homeowner’s needs and budget. Working with a professional contractor from Magnolia can help ensure that the addition meets all of the necessary requirements.

Cost of Building a Garage Addition

The cost of a garage addition can vary greatly depending on the size of the addition, the materials used, and any additional features. Generally, a basic garage addition can cost anywhere from $35,000 to $60,000. If additional features such as insulation, drywall, or windows and doors are added, the cost will increase. Additionally, the cost can be higher if the addition requires additional permits or if the garage is being built from scratch.

The cost of a garage addition can also vary depending on the type of materials used. For example, brick or stone may be more expensive than wood or vinyl. Additionally, the cost of labour will also affect the total cost. Working with a professional contractor from Magnolia can help ensure that the job is done correctly and that all necessary permits are obtained.

Building Permit For Your Garage Addition

In Ottawa, obtaining a building permit is a crucial step when planning a new addition to your home. A building permit ensures that the proposed construction meets the necessary building codes and safety standards, as well as adheres to local zoning bylaws.
