Types of Second Story Additions We Do

We design and build second story additions that are customized to meet your unique needs. Lumara Homes has an accomplished in-house team of architects, designers, and tradespeople who work closely with you from the initial concept to the final day of construction.

A dormer addition is a window structure that protrudes from the main slope of a roof. The advantage is that, if we can keep it under a certain width, we can avoid having to do any lateral engineering at all . Adding dormers to your home is an excellent way to increase its value. You can use dormer additions for more storage space, an extra bedroom, or to improve the natural light and ventilation in your home.

Partial second stories make sense when the project requires adding a couple of bedrooms or only a bonus room. During this project, we’re gonna take part of the home, tear that section of the roof off, add a second story, put a new roof on top, and tie that into the existing roof structure.

Full Second Story Addition

A full second-story addition is the best choice to do if you’re willing to add multiple bedrooms, a bathroom, and a master suite.

Keep in mind that a full second-story addition often comes with first-story renovations because when you add that much square footage to a home, you really often want to change the floor plan on the main.

Luckily, Lumara Homes does both – additions and full home renovations!

Adding a Second Floor to a Bungalow

Adding a second floor to a bungalow lets you include more bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas in your home without compromising yard space or expanding your footprint.

An additional floor in your home offers improved views, natural light, privacy, and a higher market value, making it a valuable investment for a better quality of life.

Whether you need a second story for your growing family or want to extend your living area without sacrificing your yard space, Lumara Homes is the top home builder in Toronto for the job.

How Much Does an Addition Cost?

The cost of adding a second-story addition in Toronto ranges from $100 to $400 per square foot, with the average size falling between 600 and 900 square feet. This means that the overall cost of your addition could be anywhere from $60,000 to $360,000. 

The final cost of your project will depend on several factors, including the size, complexity, and level of customization you desire, such as choosing vaulted ceilings or premium materials.

We recognize the importance of staying within your budget for any home renovation. That’s why we manage the finances and budget of the project for our clients. Contact Lumara Homes for an accurate estimate.
