MORE SPACE, SAME ADDRESS 

Additions | Add-A-Level 

Outgrowing your home doesn't mean you have to leave it. Whether it's a single room addition or a full second-story add-a-level, we'll help your home grow with your family, without the guesswork of tying new construction into an existing structure. 

What we build

Every addition, engineered to match your existing home. 

Additions are some of the trickiest projects in residential construction. Matching rooflines, tying into existing foundations, and keeping the new space feeling original rather than added on takes real structural know-how. We handle the engineering and the craftsmanship so the result feels like it was always there.
