About Our Home Additions Service

When you love your San Mateo home but need more room, a home addition adds square footage without moving. We build attached additions — extra bedrooms, expanded kitchens, family rooms, and full second-story additions — that blend seamlessly with your existing architecture. As a licensed general contractor we manage structural engineering, foundation extensions, roof tie-ins, and interior finishes. Additions are a natural fit for our ADU expertise: we can also build an attached ADU that shares a wall with your home while keeping its own entrance and kitchen.

Our Process

1

Design Consult

We discuss how you use your home and design an addition that adds the space you need while matching your existing style.

2

Engineering & Permits

We complete structural engineering and secure building permits for the expanded footprint.

3

Construction

We extend the foundation, frame the addition, tie into the existing roof and systems, and weatherproof the shell.

4

Finish

Interior finishes are matched to your home, and we pass final inspection for a seamless expansion.

Why Home Additions Matters

  • More space without moving
  • Adds resale value to your home
  • Seamless match to existing architecture
  • Option to add an attached ADU
  • One licensed contractor, start to finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Do additions require the same permits as an ADU?
Additions follow the standard building-permit process rather than the ministerial ADU path, but as a full-service general contractor we handle engineering, permitting, and construction either way.
Can you match my home's existing style?
Yes. We match siding, roofing, windows, and trim so the addition looks original to the house rather than tacked on.
Should I build an addition or an ADU?
An addition grows your primary living space; an ADU creates a separate, rentable unit. We help you weigh cost, value, and how you plan to use the space during the consultation.
