Home Additions in Birmingham, AL

Talk to the People Who Will Build Your Addition

An addition is the one project where the join matters more than the new part. Rooflines have to meet, floors have to be level with what they open into, and the new footing has to behave like the old one through an Alabama wet season.

We survey what is there, check setbacks and easements before drawing anything, and give you a fixed written price for a finished room rather than a shell.

    Addition Questions Homeowners Ask

    Before You Call Anyone, Read This

    Months, and the front end is longer than people expect because design and permitting come before anyone breaks ground. You get a realistic schedule in writing rather than an optimistic one.

    Not if the roofline, the eaves, the window proportions and the exterior materials are matched deliberately. That is a design decision made before framing, and it is the difference between an addition and a bolt on.

    It depends on the site, the slope and what the existing house sits on. Birmingham lots vary enormously. We establish this during the estimate because it materially affects the price.

    Usually yes, since most of the work happens outside the existing envelope until the tie in. The disruptive stretch is when we open the wall between old and new, and we tell you when that is scheduled.

    Sometimes, sometimes not. We assess the existing capacity rather than assuming, because an addition that the system cannot serve is a room that is uncomfortable year round.

    We pull the permits, schedule the inspections and are on site when the inspector comes. Where the project needs drawings or engineering, that is identified up front and included in the scope.

    That gets checked before design goes far, along with any historic district or architectural review requirement. Better to find the constraint on day one than after you have pictured the room.

    Fixed and in writing once the scope is settled. If something is uncovered during the tie in, you hear about it the same day with a number attached.

    More Room

    The Space the House Was Missing

    Families outgrow houses in specific ways. A bedroom short, no den, nowhere to work, a kitchen you cannot fit anybody else into. An addition solves the actual shortage rather than shuffling the rooms you have.

    We start from what is not working now, because that decides where the addition belongs on the house.

    The Join

    It Should Not Look Added On

    The tell is always the same: a roof pitch that nearly matches, brick a shade off, a step down where the floors meet. We plan those three details first because they are what make an addition read as part of the house.

    Where an exact material match is not available we will say so up front and show you the closest option.

    Living Through It

    You Still Have to Live Here

    We keep the existing house sealed from the work for as long as possible, so the wall between old and new comes out late rather than early. Dust barriers, a defined route in and out, and the site tidied each evening.

    You get a schedule with the disruptive days marked, so you can plan around them.

    Home Value

    Footage the Appraiser Counts

    Permitted, conditioned, finished space adds to the measured square footage of the house. That is the number an appraiser works from and the number a buyer compares.

    Unpermitted work does the opposite: it becomes something the buyer wants a discount for, or a lender wants resolved before closing.
