Tied into what is there
Foundations, rooflines, and load paths are engineered to meet the existing structure, so the addition reads as part of the house.
Home Additions
New rooms, suites, and enclosed living space tied into the house you have.
More house, drawn to the house you already own
An addition is a structural project wearing a decorating project's clothes. Foundations, load paths, and rooflines all have to meet what is there, and the permitting has to keep pace with the design.
We handle the drawings, the engineering coordination, the submittals, and the inspections with the build, then match the floor heights, ceilings, and trim at the seam, because the seam is the only place an addition can give itself away.
What an Addition Involves
Permitting carried through
Drawings, engineering, submittals, and inspections are handled with the build instead of handed back to you as homework.
Matched at the seam
Floor heights, ceiling lines, trim, and finishes are matched where old meets new, which is the only place an addition can look added on.
How a Remodel Runs
- 1
Talk It Through
We start with what is not working and what the finished space has to do.
- 2
Walk the Space
We read the structure, the plumbing, and the ceiling heights that set real scope.
- 3
Design and Scope
You get a drawn plan and a written scope, with selections settled up front.
- 4
Permits and Build
We pull what the work requires and run the trades in the right sequence.
- 5
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished space with you and close the punch list together.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much space can be added?
Setbacks, lot coverage, and the existing structure set the envelope. We check those on the walkthrough so the design starts inside what your property allows.
Will the addition look like an addition?
Not when the rooflines, floor heights, and trim details are drawn to match. The seam between old and new is the detail that gives an addition away, so it gets the attention.
Does an addition need engineering?
Anything structural does. We coordinate the engineering with the design so the drawings that go for permit are the drawings we build from.
How long does the permit stage take?
It varies with the scope and the jurisdiction. We tell you what the process looks like at the start and keep you updated as the submission moves.
Can we add a suite for a family member?
Yes. Private entries, wider doorways, a curbless bath, and a compact kitchenette are all common requests, and each one is easier to plan now than to retrofit later.
Thinking about more space?
Tell us which space is not working and we will walk it, draw it, and put the scope in writing.
