Start With the Why and the Budget

Get clear on what the addition is for — a bedroom, primary suite, family room, in-law suite — and a realistic budget. That drives the size, design and where it connects to the house.

Design It to Match

The mark of a great addition is that you can’t tell where the old house ends and the new begins. We match rooflines, siding, brick, trim and finishes so it looks original and adds value rather than looking bolted on.

Expect Permits & Engineering

Additions involve foundations, structure and often plumbing and electrical, so they’re permitted and inspected. We handle permits, any engineering, and the schedule — you don’t deal with the permit office.

Plan the Timeline

Most additions take a couple of months after permitting. Because much of the work happens outside your living space, you can usually stay home. See our home additions page.
