FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me figure out if an addition makes sense? +
Yes. The free in-home consultation often starts with talking through whether an addition, an interior renovation, or some combination is the right answer for what you're trying to accomplish. Sometimes the answer is neither, and we'll show you a smaller move that gets you most of what you want. We're happy to give you a straight read.
How long does a typical addition take? +
A straightforward room addition (e.g., adding a bedroom and bath onto an existing footprint) typically runs 3 to 5 months from permit to final walk-through. Larger or more complex projects with foundation work, multiple levels, or structural changes take longer. We provide a phased timeline before any work starts.
Do I need an architect, or can you design the addition? +
Depends on the scope. For straightforward additions, we can develop plans in collaboration with you. For larger projects with structural complexity, design-heavy interiors, or HOA review, an architect adds real value. We can recommend architects and designers we've worked with locally.
Will my house be livable during a remodel? +
For most interior remodels, yes. We sequence the work to keep the rest of the home functional and use dust containment to keep the active work area isolated. For full additions, livability depends on the scope; we plan around it before construction starts.
How much extra cost is involved in adding plumbing or electrical to an addition? +
Plumbing and electrical for a typical addition (one new bath, lighting and outlets in new rooms) usually adds 10 to 20 percent to the base construction cost. The exact figure depends on how far the new work has to run from existing service. We break this out as a line item in the written estimate.
What permits will I need? +
Additions require building permits, plus plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits as scope dictates. Larger additions trigger structural review. We pull all permits and handle inspections as part of the project.
Can you match the addition to the existing home? +
Yes. Matching siding, trim profiles, roof pitch, and window styles to the existing home is part of getting an addition right. The goal is for the addition to look like it was always there, not bolted on.
