Additions and Garages in Shawnigan Lake and the Cowichan Valley
Home additions and garages in Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay, Cobble Hill, Duncan and Ladysmith
Need more room but love where you live? A home addition or a new garage gives you the space without the move. Matts Island Construction builds additions, garages and new structures across the Cowichan Valley.
From framing to finishing, we manage the build and coordinate the trades, so you have one contractor responsible for the whole job.
What we build
We build room additions, master suites, kitchen expansions, sunrooms, attached and detached garages, and sheds. We also take on framing for residential construction and new builds.
Every addition should look like it was always part of the house. We match rooflines, siding and trim to your existing home so the new space blends in.
Plan and scope
We talk through the space you need, your budget and your timeline, then put together a clear quote.
Drawings and permits
We walk you through the drawings and permits your project needs before we break ground.
Framing and build
Solid framing, sheathing and roofing, built to stand up to island weather.
Finish and match
Siding, trim and finishes matched to your home, so the new space blends in.
More space, same address
An addition or garage is a big investment, and the details matter. We keep you updated at each stage, flag anything unexpected right away and leave the site tidy at the end of each day.

Addition and garage questions
Do I need a permit for an addition or garage?
Most do. Additions and garages usually involve drawings and a building permit, and the rules depend on where you are. Whether you're in the Cowichan Valley Regional District or in Duncan or Ladysmith, we'll walk you through what your project needs.
How much does a home addition cost?
It depends on the size, the foundation, how the new roof ties into the old one, and the finishes inside. Site access matters too. We'll visit, talk through your plans and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
How long does an addition take?
Longer than most renovations, since there's planning, permits, foundations, framing and finishing involved. We'll give you a timeline with your quote and keep you updated as the build moves along.
Can you match my existing house?
Yes. We match rooflines, siding and trim wherever possible so the addition looks like it belongs.
Can you build a detached garage or shed?
Yes. We build attached and detached garages as well as sheds. Tell us how you plan to use the space and we'll size and plan it to suit.
