Home Addition Questions
How much does a home addition cost?
Home additions typically cost $150-$300 per square foot depending on complexity, finishes, and what systems need to be extended. A 12x16 room addition might range from $30,000-$60,000. We provide detailed estimates during the planning phase.
Can we stay in our home during construction?
Yes! Most families remain in their homes during addition construction. We seal off work areas, use external access when possible, and maintain a clean, safe site. There may be brief utility interruptions which we coordinate with you in advance.
Will the addition match our home?
Absolutely. We take great care to match your existing roofline, siding, windows, and architectural details. The goal is for the addition to look like it was part of the original home.
Do we need permits for a home addition?
Yes, most additions require building permits and must meet local zoning setback requirements. We handle all permit applications and ensure your addition meets Maine building codes.
How long does a home addition take?
Most room additions take 3-6 months from permit approval to completion. Larger or more complex additions may take longer. We provide realistic timelines and keep you updated on progress.
Can you add a second story to our home?
Often yes, but it depends on your home's existing foundation and structure. We assess structural capacity and design additions that work with your home's capabilities. Second-story additions are great for maximizing space on smaller lots.
