Types of Home Additions We Can Build For You

Here are some of the most popular types of additions we can build for you:

Room Addition

A room addition is perfect for creating extra space when you need another bedroom, home office, or den. We carefully design each room to match the aesthetic and structural integrity of your existing home, ensuring a seamless integration.

Second Story Addition

If you're limited by your property size, adding a second story can dramatically increase your living space without altering the existing footprint. This option is ideal for adding multiple rooms like bedrooms and bathrooms, providing a significant enhancement to your home's functionality and resale value.

Bump-Out

A bump-out extends an existing room to add more square footage. This could be extending your kitchen to include a dining area or enlarging a bathroom to accommodate a soaking tub. Bump-outs are a cost-effective way to add space without the complexity of a full addition.

Sunroom

Adding a sunroom brings in natural light and offers a comfortable space to relax year-round. Sunrooms are versatile, adding a picturesque space to your home that can serve as a greenroom, reading nook, or an extra entertainment area.

Garage Conversion

Transform your unused garage into valuable living space. Whether you need a new family room, an additional bedroom, or a home gym, a garage conversion can be a smart solution to utilize existing space efficiently.

Screen Porch

Adding a screen porch is a fantastic way to enhance your living space while enjoying the outdoors. Whether you want a peaceful retreat, a space for entertaining, or an area to relax free from pests, a screen porch offers year-round comfort and style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What structural requirements should my home meet before starting an addition?

Your home’s foundation and framing need to be strong enough to support the new structure. An assessment by a professional contractor will determine if any reinforcements or upgrades are necessary to accommodate the addition. This ensures the new construction is safe and adheres to local building codes.

How does adding a second story affect my home’s existing structure?

Adding a second story requires evaluating the current foundation to ensure it can support the extra weight. In some cases, structural reinforcement may be needed to strengthen the foundation. Additionally, you may need to update electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to handle the expansion.

Are there zoning restrictions I need to be aware of before building an addition?

Zoning laws vary by location and dictate where and how you can build on your property. These restrictions could include setbacks, height limitations, and floor area ratios. It’s essential to consult local zoning ordinances and obtain the proper permits before starting any addition.

Do I need to relocate utilities before starting a home addition?

Yes, if your home addition overlaps with existing utility lines, such as water, gas, or electrical systems, they may need to be relocated. This requires coordination with utility companies and professional contractors to ensure safe and compliant re-routing of services.

What should I do to prepare my home and yard before construction starts?

To prepare, clear the construction area of any furniture, belongings, or obstacles. Additionally, you may need to protect landscaping and establish a designated pathway for construction crews to avoid damage to your yard. It’s also wise to arrange temporary storage for items that need to be moved.
