Home Additions in Jacksonville & Northeast Florida

It depends on the size and scope of the work, so we price every project individually after seeing it in person. As a concrete reference point, a small bathroom of roughly 7x5 typically runs $10,000 to $14,000, and a master bathroom typically runs $17,000 to $35,000, with materials included in both. Your written proposal arrives within 48 hours of the on-site consultation and lays out the full scope and price, so you are never comparing guesses. Estimates and consultations are free.

We provide them. Through our partnership with Floor & Decor you work directly with an in-store designer to choose colours, tile, and finishes, and your selections go onto a form under our account. From there we purchase, pick up, and deliver everything to the job site. You get to make the fun decisions without managing orders, deliveries, or returns.

Yes. GIL pulls and handles all permits for your project — that is part of what you are hiring a licensed contractor to do, and it is included. Our licensed plumbing and electrical subcontractors pull their own trade permits under our master permit. You do not need to contact the building department or schedule an inspection yourself.

We give you a schedule in the written proposal and we finish on or ahead of it. A small bathroom is usually about 7 days including permitting; a master bathroom is typically 2 to 3 weeks. Larger work such as an addition or new construction runs longer and is scheduled specifically for your project. We complete 30 to 40 projects a year, so our timelines come from experience rather than optimism.

Cesar Perdomo, and he manages customers exclusively. This is the structural difference at GIL: our business partner runs the job sites, so Cesar is never pulled onto a roof or under a house when you call. At most contracting companies one person does both jobs, which is exactly why homeowners cannot reach their contractor mid-project. Someone here is always reachable by phone — no run-arounds and no no-shows.

Yes — every habitable addition requires a building permit, and we pull it for you. An addition is structural work, so the permit set includes a foundation and framing plan and the county inspects at several stages. We handle the submission, the corrections if any come back, and the inspection scheduling. You do not need to speak to the building department.

Structurally and visually, and both matter. On the structural side we tie new foundation and framing into the existing structure so the two move together rather than separating over time — that connection is the single most important detail in an addition and it is where cheap work shows up first, as cracks at the joint. Visually we match rooflines, siding, and trim so the addition does not read as an obvious bolt-on.

Usually yes. Because an addition is largely built outside your existing walls, most of the work happens without disturbing the rest of the house. There is a disruptive stretch when we open up the connecting wall, and we plan that with you in advance and seal the opening between working days. We will tell you honestly at the consultation if your particular project is one where staying is impractical.

Longer than a room remodel, because permitting and foundation work come first. The schedule depends on the size of the addition and how quickly your county turns the permit around, so we give you a real date range in the written proposal rather than a generic number here. Once we are on site we finish on or ahead of the schedule we gave you.

That depends on your parcel, and it is one of the first things we check. Setbacks, lot coverage limits, and easements are set by your county and zoning district, and they differ across Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau. We confirm what your specific parcel allows before design work begins, so nobody spends money on a plan that cannot be permitted.
