Home Additions & Room Additions in Pittsburgh

Sometimes the home you love is just one room short. A growing family, a parent moving in, working from home, or a kitchen that was never big enough. Moving is expensive and disruptive. An addition lets you keep the house, the street and the neighbors, and get the space you actually need.

We add on to existing homes throughout Pittsburgh and the North Hills. We are not a ground-up new-construction builder, and we will tell you that straight. But if you want to grow the home you already own, that is squarely what we do, with one crew, one written quote, and one person responsible from the first call to the final walkthrough.

An addition is the most involved work we do, because it touches the parts of the house most projects never reach. Here is the order it happens in.

First the planning and the permits. A real addition ties into your existing foundation, framing and roofline, and it has to meet code, so the plan comes first. Then the foundation or footing for the new space, the framing, the roof, and getting it weather-tight so the rest of the work can happen dry.

From there it is the work that makes it a finished room: plumbing and electrical, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim, paint and the finishes that tie it to the rest of the house. One crew runs all of it, in the right order, so the new space is sound, sealed and built to last.

Additions cover a wide range, because a small bump-out and a full primary-suite addition are very different jobs. The big drivers are the size, the foundation work, the roofline, and whether the addition includes a bathroom or kitchen.

They also run longer than a single-room remodel, because of the foundation, framing and weatherproofing involved. We give you a realistic timeline with your written quote, keep the site protected and clean the whole way, and that quote is free.
