Frequently Asked Questions About Home Additions

Let’s discuss your vision for your home. Schedule a consultation with our team to start planning your addition today.
-
Depending on the square footage and structural complexity, most large-scale additions take between 3 to 6 months from initial excavation to final interior handover.
-
For external room additions or ground-level expansions, homeowners can often stay in their homes during construction.
With large scale interior projects, we typically recommend clients move out for the length of construction but we will work with our clients to contain construction as needed. We construct temporary barrier walls to keep dust, noise, and weather contained elements away from your primary living spaces.
This is not a one size fits all question with so many variables. Working from home, small children and if a kitchen or bathroom are being renovated can all impact your quality of living while in construction.
