Home Addition

The Cedar & Glass Rear Addition is a Hamilton renovation that extends the ground floor of a two-storey red-brick home to create a new family room. Vertical cedar siding and a low-profile charcoal standing-seam metal roof give the addition a modern look while leaving the original brick and upper-storey windows visible. A three-panel, black-framed sliding glass door opens onto broad, low steps leading to a grey paver patio. A wide side window brings in daylight from a second direction and frames a view of the garden. Inside, white oak flooring, warm white walls, and recessed lighting give the family room a simple, comfortable finish.

Planning and Workmanship

Every renovation starts with the existing conditions at the property. Measurements, material compatibility, access, plumbing, electrical work, ventilation, structure, permits, and the construction sequence are reviewed before the final scope is confirmed.
