How long does a typical home addition project take?
Timeline depends on complexity, permitting, and selections. Most additions include a planning phase first, then production sequencing for structure, envelope, mechanicals, and finishes.
Home Additions
More Space, Seamlessly Integrated
Additions That Match the Home, Not Fight It
High-end additions across the West Metro and western Minneapolis suburbs—planned around structure, permits, and how your family actually lives. We focus on seamless integration so the new space matches the home in flow, finish, and long-term performance.
What We Build
Spaces designed around how you live—then built with disciplined sequencing and refined finish execution.
- Primary suite and bedroom additions
- Kitchen expansions and improved flow
- Mudrooms, entries, and everyday-function upgrades
- Family rooms and gathering spaces with better light
- Second-story or bump-out planning (where appropriate)
Minnesota considerations
Performance details that matter through our seasons—comfort, durability, and fewer surprises.
- Permit and inspection sequencing planned up front
- Roofing and envelope continuity for freeze/thaw durability
- Energy performance alignment with the existing home
- Structural planning that protects the original house
- Finish matching so the addition feels cohesive
Planning Before Construction Starts
Homeowners usually ask the same three questions early: investment range, schedule risk, and how the new space will blend with the existing home. We address all three in preconstruction so build-phase changes are minimized.
- Scope boundaries and allowances documented before production
- Lead-time items identified early to protect the schedule
- Permit, inspection, and trade sequencing planned in writing
- Daily-life protection plans for occupied homes
Questions We Resolve Early
- What should happen in preconstruction vs. during build?
- What design or structural decisions affect cost the most?
- How do we phase work to reduce rework and downtime?
- How do we keep communication clear as decisions evolve?
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers for homeowners planning home additions in the West Metro and Twin Cities.
Can you make the addition match the existing home?
Yes. We plan transitions in rooflines, structure, materials, trim, and interior finishes so the addition feels cohesive instead of looking bolted on.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Permit and inspection sequencing is part of preconstruction planning so approvals do not become late-stage surprises.
What should we decide before construction starts?
Scope priorities, allowances, lead-time selections, and phasing. Clear decisions early protect budget and schedule.

Home Additions FAQ
What is most important when planning a home addition?
Structural integration, permit path clarity, and matching the new space to existing circulation and architecture are critical early decisions.
Can additions be built without making the home feel disjointed?
Yes. We prioritize transition details, sightlines, and finish continuity so the addition feels like it always belonged.
How do you approach budget planning for additions?
We align allowances and scope early, then sequence decisions so structural and systems requirements are fully accounted for before production.
