Custom Home Additions
A custom home addition is one of the best ways to create the space your growing family needs without leaving the neighborhood you already love. Whether you’re adding a second story, expanding your kitchen, or building out a multilevel addition, our team builds custom home additions that feel like they were always part of the home.
We work on custom home additions in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area, from Fox Chapel to Sewickley to Squirrel Hill and more, partnering with local architects, interior designers, and craftsmen to bring your vision to life. Every addition we build is designed for seamless continuity with your existing structure, so the finished result feels original to the home.
ADDING A SECOND STORY TO YOUR HOME
Building an additional story onto your home can greatly increase the amount of available living space. By adding a second — or third — level, we can create the space your evolving family needs without increasing the overall footprint of your structure. In the process, we take considerable care to ensure a cohesive appearance with your existing home.
INSPIRED MULTILEVEL ADDITIONS
A multistory addition can transform your current home into a dynamic and interconnected living area. Using innovative design, we add space and utility to maximize the potential of your property. Our multifloor additions are conceived to enrich your living experience by taking full advantage of the new square footage, both indoors and out.
INVENTIVE BUMP-OUT ADDITIONS
A bump-out addition can generate extra space you imagine without having to alter the entire structure of your home. Whether extending an existing room or creating an entirely new space, a bump-out is an efficient solution to boosting the functionality and comfort of your home.
THOUGHTFUL HISTORIC HOME ADDITIONS AND RENOVATIONS
Meticulous planning and careful execution are at the forefront of every one of our historical home addition and restoration projects. With patience and skill, we not only restore each classic structure to its original glory but also integrate new custom additions to fashion a harmonious modern living area. Enjoy an expanded living space filled with energy-efficient systems and smart home technologies while maintaining the architectural consistency and character of our city’s historic homes.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR HOME ADDITION PROJECT
Every custom home addition starts with a conversation about how you actually live in your home and where you need more room. From there, our process typically includes:
DESIGN & PLANNING
We collaborate with your architect and design partners to create an addition that fits your home’s existing character and your family’s needs.
PERMITTING & APPROVALS
We manage the permitting process required for additions in Pittsburgh and surrounding municipalities, so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
CONSTRUCTION
Our team builds with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail as our new construction projects, ensuring your addition looks and feels like it was always there.
Addition timelines and scope vary widely, from a modest bump-out to a full second-story home expansion, and we’ll walk you through what to expect for your specific project during an initial consultation.
