ADDITIONS-SECOND-STORY BUILDS-FULL REMODELS

Remodels that work with your home’s existing structure, not against it.

Remodel and addition work carries its own constraints — existing framing, load paths, and code requirements that weren't a factor on the original build. We start by understanding what's already there, then design a remodel that reads as though it was always part of the house.

REMODELS & ADDITIONS

Reworking an existing home without fighting its structure.

Every remodel starts with understanding what’s already there: what can move, what’s load-bearing, and what a room addition or second-story build actually requires structurally before we draw a single wall. That groundwork is what keeps a remodel from turning into a series of costly surprises mid-construction.

Whether it’s a kitchen reconfiguration, a primary suite addition, or a full second-story buildout, the goal is a design that matches the existing roofline, structure, and finish level of your home — engineered to meet current code.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Remodels and additions, answered.

Can you add a second story to my existing home?

In many cases, yes — second-story additions require an assessment of your home's existing foundation and structure, which our in-house structural engineering team evaluates as part of the design process.

Do remodels need the same permitting as new construction?

Remodels and additions generally go through the same permitting process, and we draft plans to meet current code requirements even when working within an older structure.

How do you handle load-bearing walls in a remodel?

We assess existing framing and load paths before finalizing a remodel design, and coordinate any structural changes with in-house structural engineering.
