Our approach

An addition should look like it was always there

The best compliment an addition can get is that nobody notices it. We match the details that give an addition away: siding reveal, trim width, soffit depth, window style and roof pitch.

Inside, we carry the same floors, trim and ceiling heights through the new opening so the house feels like it was built that way.

  • Zoning and setback check before you spend on drawings
  • Matched siding, trim, windows and roof pitch
  • Permits and inspections handled for you
  • Final grading and seeding included

Size
420 sq ft
The problem
A family of five had outgrown their living room. The village required the addition to match existing siding, roof pitch and a 25-foot rear setback.
What we did
Drew and permitted a 420 sq ft family room with a vaulted ceiling and a bank of south-facing windows, built on frost-protected footings, matched siding and shingles to the original house, and finished with a new paver patio.
The result
Permit approved on the first submission. Neighbors routinely ask whether it was part of the original house.
Questions

Asked often

More answers on our services page, or call (555) 010-6800.

Do I need an architect for an addition?

Not usually. For most single-story additions our in-house drafting and a structural engineer are enough for permits. For two-story additions or complex rooflines we bring in a local architect we work with often, and that fee is shown on your quote.

How do you make it match the existing house?

We photograph and measure your siding profile, trim widths, window style and roof pitch at the first visit. Where an exact product is discontinued, we find the closest match and show you samples on the house before ordering.

Will my yard be torn up?

There will be an excavator and a dumpster for a few weeks. We lay ground protection for equipment paths, and final grading and seeding of disturbed areas is included in every addition quote.

Does an addition raise my property taxes?

Usually, yes, because it increases assessed value. Your local assessor can give you an estimate; we can share the square footage and finish level they'll ask about.
