Everything Your Home Addition
Project Needs

Foundation & Structural Work

Every addition starts with a proper foundation. We handle excavation, footings, framing, and structural integration with your existing home — no shortcuts.

Roofing & Exterior

New rooflines, siding, windows, and exterior finishes matched to your existing home so the addition looks like it was always there.

Electrical & HVAC Extension

We extend your existing electrical panel and HVAC system into the new space — or install dedicated systems where required by the addition's scope.

Plumbing

Bathroom additions, laundry rooms, and wet bars require new plumbing rough-ins handled by licensed plumbers as part of the full project scope.

Interior Finishing

Drywall, insulation, flooring, trim, paint, and all interior finishes completed to match or complement your existing home's style.

Permits & Inspections

Home additions require multiple permit types — zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical. We manage all of them with the City of Chicago or your municipality.

Our Home Addition
Process

01

Site Assessment & Design

We assess your property, zoning constraints, and setback requirements before any design work begins. Then we develop a detailed scope with architectural drawings and structural plans.

02

Permitting

We submit all permit applications and handle city or municipality review. Addition permits typically take 4–8 weeks to approve — we start this process early so it doesn't delay construction.

03

Construction

Foundation, framing, roofing, systems, and finishes executed in proper sequence by our licensed crew and trade partners. Weekly updates throughout.

04

Final Inspections & Walkthrough

We coordinate all final inspections with the city, receive certificate of occupancy, and walk through every detail of the new space with you before close-out.
