Home Additions, For When Your Home No Longer Fits Your Life.

Your home office lives at the dining room table. The kids have outgrown their shared bedroom. Your kitchen can't handle the family gatherings you love to host. The walls are closing in. Moving feels like the obvious answer until you see what's available in Los Angeles – bigger homes with bigger compromises you're not ready to make.

Home additions offer a sophisticated alternative. Instead of searching for a property that might work, create spaces that perfectly align with your lifestyle while staying in the community you value. The key isn't just adding square footage – it's seamless integration that feels intentional and architecturally cohesive. Proper planning and craftsmanship don't just solve space problems; they enhance your property's character and value.

We're an Industry-Leading Home Addition Contractor in Los Angeles.

We're not just another construction company. We're your neighbors – contractors who understand what makes each Los Angeles community distinctive, what quality craftsmanship truly represents, and which design approaches enhance your property's character.

Home additions demand more than construction expertise; they require an intuitive understanding of Los Angeles' diverse architectural landscape and the ability to enhance both livability and long-term value through thoughtful design.

What We Do

Second Story Additions

Double your space without sacrificing yard – these vertical expansions require sophisticated structural engineering and expert integration, but when done right, your home looks like it was always two stories. The result? Maximum square footage with minimal lot impact.

Single-Room and Multi-Room Additions

Whether you need one perfect room or an entire wing, success means creating seamless flow between old and new construction. We design additions that complement your home's character rather than compete with it, making natural transitions that feel inevitable and intentional.

Kitchen and Bathroom Expansions

These are the most complex rooms in your home, where plumbing, electrical, and structural systems all converge in tight spaces. We orchestrate this intricate mechanical coordination while maintaining both flawless function and beautiful aesthetics throughout your expanded areas.

Garage Conversions with Additions Construction

Transform dead storage into a vibrant living space while adding stylish new covered parking – it's property optimization at its smartest. This approach maximizes usable square footage, maintains essential vehicle protection, and often delivers the most cost-effective expansion solution available.

Why Invest in a Home Addition?

Build Equity, Not Moving Expenses

Home additions represent smart investments in your property's future value. Instead of paying premiums for larger existing homes with inevitable compromises, create exactly what you need while building wealth in the location you've already chosen.

Stay Where
You Belong

Your neighborhood connections, your children's schools, your favorite coffee shop – these matter. Home additions solve space problems without uprooting the life you've built, keeping your family's world intact while expanding your living space.

Design Your
Way, Not Theirs

Stop inheriting other people's questionable choices. Create spaces that actually work for your life – a home office that inspires productivity, entertainment areas perfect for your gatherings, or a master retreat designed for your idea of comfort.

Handshake icon

Four to Six Months vs. Four to Six Years

While others spend years house hunting, you'll be enjoying your expanded home in months. Predictable timelines, controlled disruption, and a finish line you can actually see – that's the addition advantage.

How long does a typical home addition take to complete?

Most room additions require 3-6 months from starting on plans to obtaining permits, and then another 3-5 months to completion, while second-story additions may take 6-8 months. Timeline depends on project complexity, size, and permit processing time – but don’t worry, we’ll provide detailed schedules during the planning phase.

What permits are required for home additions in Los Angeles?

Home additions typically require building permits, and larger projects may need architectural review. We handle all permitting requirements, including structural, electrical, and plumbing permits, based on your project scope.

How much do home additions cost in Los Angeles?

Well, costs significantly, based on size, complexity, and finishes. Room additions typically range from $200 to $400 per square foot, while second-story additions may cost $300 to $500 per square foot, but we’ll always give you an accurate estimate as early as possible.

Can you match my existing home's architecture?

Yes, architectural integration is our specialty. We carefully study your home's existing style, materials, and proportions to ensure additions complement and enhance your property's overall aesthetic.

Do I need to move out during construction?

It depends on the project’s size and scope.  Sometimes minimizing disruption can mean moving out for a period of time.

Will a home addition increase my property value?

Well-designed home additions typically increase property value, especially in Los Angeles' competitive market. The exact return depends on the type of addition, local market conditions, and quality of construction, but we’ll always be happy to connect you with a real estate agent if you’re curious about the numbers.

How do you handle utility connections for additions?

We coordinate all utility extensions, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and gas services. On top, our planning includes load calculations and system capacity assessments to ensure your home's infrastructure supports the addition.

Can you work around my family's schedule?

We understand construction impacts daily life – so, we’ll take our time to discuss scheduling preferences during planning and coordinate major work phases around your family's needs when possible.
