What Home Addition Work Entails

Room additions encompass many different types of construction that include everything from constructing a new bathroom to major kitchen expansions. At their heart, room additions require adding to your home's existing structure — either upward. This is different than remodeling, which stays inside the original layout.

These undertakings demand a coordinated effort that brings together architectural planning, city approvals, foundation work, framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, interior finishing, and final finishes.
