Residential Addition FAQs
Common questions about home additions with SBS Builders
What types of home additions do you build?
We design and build a wide range of residential additions including second-story additions, primary suite expansions, kitchen extensions, sunrooms, in-law suites, garage conversions, and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units). Each addition is custom-designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing home's architecture and meet your specific needs.
How much does a home addition cost?
Home addition costs vary significantly based on size, type, and complexity. Second-story additions typically range from $200-$400+ per square foot, while ground-level additions may range from $150-$350+ per square foot. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your home, understanding your goals, and developing a preliminary design that aligns with your budget.
Do I need special permits for a home addition?
Yes, most home additions require building permits and must comply with local zoning regulations, setback requirements, and building codes. Our team handles the entire permitting process, working with local authorities to ensure your addition meets all requirements. We also coordinate inspections throughout construction to maintain compliance.
Will my home addition match my existing house?
Seamless integration is a hallmark of our work. We carefully match materials, architectural details, rooflines, and finishes to ensure your addition feels like an original part of your home. Our design process includes detailed analysis of your home's character, and we source materials that provide visual and structural continuity.
How long does it take to complete a home addition?
Most residential additions take 3 to 6 months from groundbreaking to completion, depending on size and complexity. This timeline includes foundation work, framing, roofing, exterior finishing, interior work, and final inspections. We provide a detailed schedule during planning and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
Can I stay in my home during an addition project?
In most cases, yes. We take measures to minimize disruption to your daily life, creating barriers between work areas and living spaces, coordinating noisy work during daytime hours, and maintaining site cleanliness. However, there may be brief periods (such as when connecting plumbing or electrical) when temporary adjustments are necessary.
