Home Additions in Loganville

Bedrooms, family rooms and primary suites joined to your house, framed and closed in from outside before the old wall opens, so the inside stays clean the longest.

Built From the Outside In

An addition is new construction attached to the house you're living in. Footings, framing, windows and the outer walls all go up outdoors while your existing wall stays closed, so daily life inside barely changes for most of the job.

The tie-in, when the old wall is cut open, is the dusty part. It comes late in the job, the rooms around the opening are sealed off and their floors covered, and cleanup happens every day until the new rooms are done.

Inside the Addition Scope

  • Footings and framing

    Whether it sits on a slab or a crawlspace, the new floor is framed to meet the old one at the same height, so there's no step at the doorway.

  • The tie-in

    Once the shell is closed against weather, the old exterior wall is opened, trim and materials are matched, and ductwork is extended so the new space heats and cools like the original rooms.

  • Inside the new rooms

    Insulation and drywall, then trim and paint, along with the lights, outlets and any bathroom water and drain lines the space needs before furniture moves in.

How an Addition Comes Together

  1. Check what the lot allows

    Property lines, easements and local limits on height and size set where an addition can sit. We confirm those before putting a price on anything.

  2. Build the shell

    The foundation, frame, windows and outer walls are completed and sealed against weather while your existing walls stay shut and life indoors goes on.

  3. Open, join and finish

    Then we open the connecting wall, protect the rooms on either side and finish the interior. Everything is cleaned before the plastic is taken down.

Thinking About Adding On

What timeline should we expect for an addition?

Months, in most cases, not weeks. Footings, framing, inspections, the tie-in and the interior go in order, and rain can push the outdoor stages. Your written schedule shows when each stage should finish.

Is adding on smarter than selling?

It can be. If the neighborhood suits you and the lot has space, get the addition priced. Then set its itemized cost beside what selling, buying, closing and moving would run, and factor in what you'd give up by leaving.
