Home Additions in Snellville
A new bedroom, primary suite or larger family room, with the floor level, ceiling height and trim worked out so the addition reads as part of the original house.

Where Old Meets New
You can usually tell a rushed addition from the doorway: a small step down, a ceiling that drops, baseboard that doesn't quite match. We work out floor heights, ceiling lines and trim profiles with you at the start, so the new space joins the house cleanly.
An addition is also a full build: footings, framing, a weather-tight shell, the plumbing and wiring the new rooms need, and interior finishes, with inspections at the stages your city or county requires.
Parts of an Addition Project
-
Footings and structure
Footings, a floor system and walls built to tie into the existing structure, with the connection planned before the first trench is dug.
-
A weather-tight shell
New walls closed in against the weather, with openings and exterior finishes chosen to sit comfortably beside what the house already has.
-
Power and plumbing for new rooms
Lighting, outlets and, for a primary suite, the bathroom's plumbing, all extended from the house as part of the addition's scope rather than as separate jobs.
-
Interior finish
Inside, the new rooms get trim profiles, door styles and paint colors that continue from the adjoining rooms, so nothing looks like it arrived years later.
How an Addition Comes Together
-
Talk, then look
We start on the phone, then visit to see the lot, the house and where the new rooms would connect. Setbacks and zoning decide how far you can build.
-
Scope in writing
The itemized estimate covers structure, systems and finishes, with your trim, door and paint choices named, plus a written schedule for each stage.
-
Build in stages
Foundation, framing, shell, rough-in, then interior finish, with inspections where required. The wall into the existing house opens as late as practical to keep dust down.
Addition Questions
Will the addition match the outside of the house?
That's the aim. We choose exterior finishes and trim to sit well beside the existing house, and talk through anything that can't be matched exactly, such as an older brick that's no longer made.
Does an addition need a permit?
Nearly always. Additions involve foundations, framing and new wiring and plumbing, so your city or county reviews the project and inspects the work at several stages.
Running Out of Room?
Describe the room you need, who it's for and where on the lot it might sit. We'll talk through what building it would involve and what drives the cost.
