Adding space to your home is one of the smartest ways to improve your lifestyle and increase property value. At Romeo’s Renovations Canberra, we specialise in home extensions that are practical, seamlessly integrated, and custom-designed to meet the needs of growing families, changing lifestyles, or investment upgrades.
Whether you’re looking to add an extra bedroom, expand your kitchen, or build a second storey, we manage the entire process—from council approvals to construction—making it simple and stress-free. We believe that good design, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship should come standard with every extension project.
Home extensions are not just about more space—they’re about better space. Our solutions improve your daily living, make room for what matters, and help future-proof your property. We bring years of hands-on experience to every job and collaborate closely with our clients to deliver beautiful, functional results that feel like part of the original home.
A well-planned extension adds more than just space—it enhances how your home functions and feels. Our clients extend their homes for many reasons:
With property prices on the rise in Canberra, investing in a quality extension can often be more cost-effective than purchasing a larger home. It allows you to stay in the neighbourhood you love, retain your current mortgage, and personalise the new space entirely to your needs.
We offer tailored solutions for a variety of extension types, including:
1. Ground Floor Extensions
Perfect for extending your kitchen, living room, dining area, or adding a new wing. These are ideal for creating open-plan living spaces and connecting indoor spaces with outdoor entertaining areas. We can also integrate bi-fold doors, skylights, or alfresco features to maximise functionality.
2. Second Storey Additions
Double your space without losing your backyard. This is a great option for growing families who want additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a private parent’s retreat upstairs. We ensure the structure is reinforced to handle the additional load, and all staircases, windows, and layouts are designed for comfort, light, and privacy.
3. Garage Conversions
Turn an underused garage into a stylish and practical room. Popular conversion options include a bedroom, granny flat, home gym, or art studio. We handle insulation, flooring, windows, lighting, and layout redesign to create a liveable, climate-controlled space that fits seamlessly into the rest of your home.
4. Outdoor Room Extensions
Create indoor-outdoor living with a deck, sunroom, or enclosed alfresco area. These spaces are great for entertaining guests and enjoying Canberra’s sunny seasons. Whether you want a casual BBQ space or a fully insulated garden room, we help you extend your living zones with style.
5. Granny Flats and Studios
Build self-contained accommodation for guests, tenants, or elderly relatives. We can include kitchens, bathrooms, and separate access to maintain privacy and independence. These units are great for multigenerational living or generating rental income in a high-demand market.
We manage the full home extension process from start to finish:
Our team handles all subcontractors and scheduling so you don’t have to worry about the logistics. We maintain strict quality control throughout and aim to deliver an extension that exceeds expectations while respecting your daily routine and property.
Converting existing space—like a garage or patio—is generally the cheapest way to extend. These conversions typically require less structural work than full additions.
Extensions can be disruptive during construction and may require planning approvals that take time. Budget overruns can also happen if unexpected site issues arise. Choosing a reliable builder helps minimise these risks.
Granny flat construction in Canberra usually ranges between $120,000 and $200,000 depending on size, inclusions, and design complexity. Self-contained units with full kitchens and bathrooms tend to be at the higher end.
Budgeting between $2,000–$4,000 per square metre is typical in Canberra. The final price depends on whether you’re building on the ground level, adding a storey, or customising finishes.
