How long does an addition really take, start to finish?
Design + permits typically run 3–6 months. Construction runs another 4–8 months depending on scope. Plan on 7–14 months from first call to move-in for most projects.
Can we live in the house during construction?
For most additions, yes, we seal off the existing house with dust barriers and stage work to keep utilities running. Whole-home renovations or major MEP upgrades sometimes require temporary relocation; we'll tell you up front.
Will you handle all the permits, or do I?
We do. Architectural drawings, structural engineering, permit submittal, comment responses, inspections, all included in the fixed price.
What if the inspector finds something unexpected during construction?
Inspector findings are our responsibility, not yours. If we missed a code issue in design, we eat it. If the inspector requires something new, that's a documented change order and you sign for it.
How do you tie the addition into the existing roofline and siding?
We match shingle profile, color, and weather exposure on the roof. Siding gets matched at the supply level (we order from the same manufacturer when possible) and feathered with trim transitions where necessary.
Financing options for an addition?
Yes, through our third-party partner. Apply through our partner ↗, often used for primary-suite additions and in-law suites.

How much does a home addition cost in the Bethesda area?
