Home Additions
in CT
Serving the Danbury, CT area— including Fairfield & Litchfield County, CT and Putnam County, NY
Love your home just need more room? We design and build home additions in CT that look like they’ve always belonged—tying in rooflines, siding, windows, and interior flow so daily life simply works better.
What we align up front
-
Concept & footprint: bump-outs, second story, primary suite, family room, mudroom/laundry, office/ADU (where allowed)
-
Structure & tie-ins: foundation, load paths, rooflines, siding/trim continuity
-
Systems: HVAC capacity, panel upgrades, plumbing routes
-
Lighting & electrical: switching, task/ambient layers, exterior lights
-
Windows & doors: brand/type, performance, lead times
-
Finish direction: floors, tile, millwork, paint—grounded in your budget
Permits, Surveys & The “Known Unknowns”
Additions bring extra steps. We make them straightforward.
We coordinate submittals and inspections with your town so the project keeps moving.
-
A-2 Survey: Confirms property lines and setbacks for the town.
-
B100 (where required): Soil/septic review; older systems may need engineering or updates.
Contingency: We recommend setting aside a buffer for discoveries during excavation or wall openings.
Budget Clarity You Can Trust
You’ll receive a line-item estimate (materials + labor) so priorities are clear and trade-offs are easy. We flag long-lead items early and keep choices aligned to budget and timeline.
Your Team, Start to Finish
You’ll work with a Project Manager and Designer, plus an on-site Team Lead in daily communication.
-
Designer: Helps shop and finalize selections; joins site meetings when design input is needed.
-
Project Manager: Builds a clear schedule, runs weekly site meetings, manages inspections, and issues formal change orders if scope shifts—so everyone stays aligned.
-
Trusted trades: Not “random subs.” Our partners have worked with us 10+ years and are part of the family.
-
Closeout & Warranty: Final walkthrough, punch-list care, and a 1-year warranty from finish date.

Home Addition Timelines & Budget Drivers
After design, selections, and permits, many additions run several weeks to a few months on site. What shapes time and cost:
Foundation/excavation complexity
Structural tie-ins and roofline integration
Window/door quantity & lead times
Electrical capacity/panel upgrades
Finish level (tile, millwork, custom elements)
Septic requirements (B100), where applicable
FAQs
No. Many clients start with an idea. We’ll discuss goals and provide budgetary guidance, including a line for architectural drawings to reach permit-ready plans.
Yes. We regularly partner with trusted architects to prepare construction drawings. If you have an architect, we’re happy to collaborate.
An A-2 survey maps property limits and helps the town verify setback compliance for your addition. If required, we’ll coordinate it and include it in your plan.
Some towns require a B100 review (soil/septic). Older septic systems may need evaluation or design updates before approving added bedrooms/baths. We’ll help navigate this.
