Home Addition FAQs

How much does a home addition cost?

The cost of a home addition depends on the size, complexity, and finishes involved. Smaller additions may start lower, while large or multi-story additions require additional structural and permitting considerations. During the design phase, we work closely with you to establish a realistic budget and guide selections to align with your goals.

How long does it take to build a home addition?

The length of the design phase depends on how quickly the client makes decisions. Most home additions take several months from design through construction. Timelines vary based on scope, permitting, and material selections. Our design-build process helps streamline scheduling and reduce delays by addressing details early.

Do I need permits for a home addition?

Yes, most home additions require permits and inspections. WS Design & Build handles the permitting process and works with local municipalities to ensure all work meets building codes and zoning requirements.

  • Can I live in my home during construction?

    In many cases, homeowners can remain in the home during construction, depending on the scope of work. We plan construction carefully to minimize disruption and discuss expectations upfront.

  • Will the addition match the rest of my home?

    We aim to match your home’s exterior as closely as possible, but material age and sun exposure can cause fading. When an exact match isn’t possible, a complementary shade is often the best option for a cohesive look.

  • Can an addition increase my home’s value?

    Yes. Home values are increased primarily by adding livable square footage, so a well-designed addition can significantly boost both usable space and long-term value, especially when it improves functionality and flow.

  • What types of foundations are used for additions?

    Foundation requirements vary depending on the addition type, site conditions, and local codes. We evaluate your property and design the appropriate foundation system for long-term stability.

  • Do you help with design decisions and selections?

    Yes. Our team assists with layout, materials, finishes, and selections throughout the design process to ensure your new space reflects your style and budget.
