03 — Additions & Custom Builds

More house. Or a whole new one.

When the footprint is the problem, finishes won't fix it. We build additions, second stories, basements, and ground-up custom homes — permitted, engineered, and matched to what's already there.

What we build
01 Room & rear additions

Family rooms, primary suites, sunrooms, and kitchen bump-outs on new footings, tied into the existing structure and roofline so they don't read as an add-on.

02 Second-story additions

Going up when the lot won't let you go out — including the structural assessment that determines whether the existing foundation and walls can carry it.

03 Garages & accessory structures

Attached and detached garages, workshops, and in-law or rental units where county zoning allows them.

04 Basement finishing

Turning unfinished space into guest suites, gyms, and media rooms — with egress windows, proper moisture control, and code-compliant ceiling heights.

05 Ground-up custom homes

New construction from site work and foundation through framing, systems, millwork, and final landscaping, built to your architect's drawings or ours.

06 Decks, porches & outdoor living

Composite and hardwood decks, screened porches, and covered patios engineered for our freeze-thaw cycles.

Zoning decides what's possible.

Setbacks, lot coverage, height limits, easements, and HOA review determine what you're allowed to build long before design does. We check all of it up front — and tell you early if the addition you want isn't permittable as drawn.

  • Zoning and setback review for your specific parcel
  • Structural engineering for every new load path
  • County permit packages prepared and submitted
  • HOA and architectural review submissions where required
  • Inspections scheduled and attended by us

Ground-up, in order

How a build runs
  1. Feasibility

    Zoning, setbacks, and a structural look at what the existing house can carry.

  2. Design & engineering

    Architectural drawings and stamped structural plans, priced as they develop.

  3. Permitting

    Full county submission — plus HOA review where your neighbourhood requires it.

  4. Construction

    Footings, framing, roof, systems, insulation, drywall, finishes, in sequence.

  5. Close-out

    Final inspections, certificate of occupancy where applicable, walkthrough, warranties.
