Questions
Before you begin
Detailed answers are here when you need them. Open a question to learn more.
What is included in this service?
Work can include Selective Demolition, Interior Demolition, Floor Removal, Ceiling Removal, Wall Removal, and Debris Removal. The final proposal confirms the selected services, quantities, site conditions, and any exclusions for your property.
How long does the work usually take?
A ready-to-start basic-to-standard scope typically takes 10–16 weeks. Site conditions, selections, permits, inspections, weather, access, and approved changes can affect the schedule.
How will the addition connect to the existing home?
Structure, rooflines, drainage, exterior materials, floor levels, heating, electrical, plumbing, and interior transitions are planned together. The connection details are confirmed before construction closes the assemblies.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is built from the selected services using hourly, project-based, per-square-foot, and per-linear-foot rates, as applicable to the measured scope. Design-dependent or concealed work may require a custom quotation. The final proposal confirms quantities and approved choices.
How do you determine whether an addition is feasible?
Feasibility depends on zoning, lot coverage, setbacks, existing structure, grading, services, and the intended layout. These constraints are reviewed before detailed design and pricing proceed.
Will we need drawings, engineering, and permits?
Most home additions require design drawings, a building permit, and structural input. The final scope identifies the required consultants, submission responsibilities, authority fees, and inspection stages.
