If you do, the best thing to do is find the right addition plan that will work with your budget. If you don’t love your location, buying or building a different home might be a better option for increasing square footage.

Is it better to build out or build up?
It depends on your particular situation. Building out onto an existing deck or patio is often the more cost-effective solution. Building upward can be a great choice when you have limited property surrounding the home and want to optimize that space. One factor that makes building upward more expensive is that it typically involves adding reinforcement to the existing house to support the new structure.
How will the addition blend with my existing home?
All of our projects are fully Custom, so we have extensive experience blending a variety of interior and exterior finishes. Some addition projects are easy to blend – converting a window to a doorway and connecting the new space. Others are more complex – removing entire walls and blending ceiling, walls, and floors with the new space. Our upfront Planning Process allows us to coordinate all the details of bringing the addition and existing home together – inside and out.
How big can my addition be?
We plan additions of all sizes! The city and county will have regulations on the size of additions and property line setbacks. Our team considers these factors as we plan your unique project.
What if there is electrical/AC in the way?
Often, the best place to add an addition will contain important utility lines. Our team is well experienced in rerouting and integrating HVAC, plumbing, and electrical to allow for the new space to be added.
How much does it cost to add 1000 square feet to a house?
Every project is unique, but we have planned additions in this size range from $200,000–$400,000+. We will accurately calculate the cost for your addition based on the plan we developed with you as part of our PSA Process.
