Home Additions
There comes a time for many homeowners when they simply love their neighborhood and their house, but they have just outgrown the space. Perhaps your family is expanding, you need a dedicated workspace, or you want to bring an aging parent into the home. Instead of the stress and expense of moving, a home addition by David L Rogers Construction allows you to stay where you are while getting the extra square footage you need. Building an addition is a significant undertaking, but under the guidance of Dave Lawrence Rogers, we make the process smooth, transparent, and rewarding. We don’t just tack a room onto the side of your house; we create seamless extensions that look and feel like they were always meant to be there.
The key to a successful addition is careful planning and design. We start by listening to your specific goals. Do you need a new master suite? A sunroom? A larger kitchen? A second story? Once we understand your needs, we look at the feasibility of the project in relation to your property lines, zoning regulations, and existing structure. We handle the complexities of permitting and code compliance so you don’t have to worry about the red tape. Our goal is to design an addition that complements the architectural style of your existing home. We pay close attention to rooflines, window styles, and exterior materials to ensure a cohesive look.
Foundational work is the literal bedrock of any addition. We bring in the heavy equipment to excavate and pour a solid concrete foundation or footings that will support your new structure for decades. Whether it is a crawlspace, a slab, or a full basement extension, we ensure it is done correctly to prevent settling or shifting. We then frame the new structure, tying it securely into the existing framework of your house. This is a critical stage where our experience really shines, as joining new construction to old requires skill to ensure structural integrity and weatherproofing.
Roofing and siding are the next major steps. We work hard to match your existing siding, whether it is vinyl, wood, brick, or stucco. If an exact match isn’t possible due to fading or discontinued products, we can discuss options for re-siding the entire home or using complementary materials to create an intentional design feature. The roofing is tied in carefully to prevent leaks, often involving complex flashing work where the new roof meets the old. We want your home to look beautiful from the curb, with no awkward transitions that scream “addition.”
On the interior, the goal is flow. We open up the wall between the old and new sections, handling any necessary structural headers to support the load. We match the interior trim, flooring levels, and ceiling heights as closely as possible so that walking into the new room feels natural. We extend your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to ensure the new space is conditioned properly, or we can install independent mini-split systems if that is a more efficient solution for the space. We also extend the electrical and plumbing systems as needed, ensuring everything is up to modern codes.
We build all types of additions. A “bump-out” can expand a cramped kitchen or bathroom just enough to make it functional. A sunroom or four-season room can provide a bright, airy place to enjoy your garden view year-round. A second-story addition is a complex project that effectively doubles your living space without eating up your backyard; this requires careful analysis of the existing foundation’s strength, which we perform rigorously. We also specialize in building in-law suites or accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that provide privacy and independence for family members.
Throughout the construction of an addition, your daily life continues, and we respect that. We set up barriers to keep dust and noise out of your living quarters as much as possible. We maintain a safe job site, especially if you have children or pets. Dave Lawrence Rogers is committed to open communication, giving you regular updates on the schedule and any decisions that need to be made.
Investing in a home addition is a major decision, but it is one that pays off in daily comfort and long-term property value. At David L Rogers Construction, we take the trust you place in us seriously. We are dedicated to building a high-quality, durable, and beautiful expansion of your home that solves your space problems and enhances your lifestyle. We are here to help you grow your home along with your family.
