Seattle-Area Home Additions

As time goes on and you add to your family, you may outgrow your home you once thought was perfect size. Luckily, with an addition, you can add the square footage space you desire in order to evade the competitive real estate market and stay in the neighborhood you love dearly.

Love Your Seattle Home but Need More Room to Grow?

Do you love your Seattle home, backyard, school district, and nearby amenities but feel you need more room to grow? Then, undergoing a home addition or home renovation is a great idea. This way, you gain the extra space you need so you don’t outgrow your home and have to move down the road. Whether it’s an extra bedroom for visitors or an attic conversion, an addition can transform your entire home from top to bottom.

Make the Most of Your Seattle Home With a Home Addition

There are several reasons why homeowners in Seattle might want to expand the size of their living space with an addition. Benefits of building a home addition on your property include:

Increased Living Space

Whether adding a whole second story, expanding a bathroom, or putting in a new office, a home addition is a great way to give yourself and your family more privacy and personal space. This is perfect for if you have a little one on the way, growing children, or a multi-generational household. Don't under estimate the value of adding extra living space!

Enhanced Functionality

Does your current home simply not cut it in the functionality department? You may need a bigger kitchen to handle all your household meals, a playroom for your kids, or an expanded living area to host holiday gatherings. No matter your exact needs or wants, a home addition is sure to make your daily activities much more comfortable and convenient.

Versatility

Home additions are incredibly versatile. From a chef's kitchen with a large pantry to a home gym, home theater, or full second-story suite, you can implement whatever makes sense for your unique lifestyle.

Higher Property Value

Undertaking a home addition project is a smart investment decision. Buyers these days love space, meaning that home addition is likely to increase your overall property value significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Additions

Do I need permits for a home addition in Seattle?

Yes, you will need a construction addition/alteration permit from the City of Seattle to start your project. As your design build contractor, we’ll apply for and obtain any necessary permits on your behalf.

How much do home additions in Seattle cost?

Make sure to check out our comprehensive pricing guide that covers the estimated price for each type of our home additions as well as information regarding financing options.

How long do home additions take?

The duration of a home addition project can vary significantly based on the size and complexities of the specific project. However, on average, a complete home addition project can take around 3-12 months to complete, smaller projects take a few weeks/months, and larger projects take up to a year. This timeline is influenced by various factors such as the design phase, permitting and zoning requirements, and the actual build itself.

How much value does a home addition add?

The value added by a home addition depends on several factors, such as the type and scale of the addition, the location of the property, and the current real estate market. According to the National Association of Realtors, “every 1,000 square feet added to your home increases its sale price by at least 30 percent.” We are more than happy to walk you through your home addition and give our professional recommendations on what is going to be the most beneficial for your situation.

How can I pay for my home addition?

There are several financing options available to homeowners considering a home addition, including cash, a home equity loan or line of credit, a personal loan, or refinancing. We recommend meeting with a financial advisor/lender to go over your budget and payment options before making a decision on whether an addition is right for you financially. You can also check out our home addition pricing guide for ballpark project prices. For a comprehensive guide about ways to finance your home remodel,visit here.

How should I prepare for my home addition?

After you sign on the dotted line, you should start to think about your project timeline. Are you going to want to complete your addition in phases so you can continue to live in your home? Or are you going to opt to get it all done at once and find other living accommodations. You should also consider the potential impact of the project on your day-to-day life, such as noise, dust, and access to the property.
