Home Additions
Add square footage that looks original to the house — dormers, second stories, sunrooms, and more.
Our approach
Home additions add the square footage a growing family needs without forcing a move. Dormers, second stories, sunrooms, and rear additions — we specialize in making new construction look original to the existing house, right down to the trim profiles and roofline.
The first question we answer: can the existing foundation and framing support what you're adding? Our structural engineer reviews before you sign anything. For second stories we shore and reframe from below; for ground-level additions we match footing depths and siding to existing. Matching brick, stone, or stucco to a 1920s Chicago home takes legwork, and we budget for it explicitly.
