Cost guide

Home Addition cost

What a home addition involves, what it runs in each state we build in, and the metro-by-metro guides with live pricing.

What the project involves

A home addition adds finished square footage to your house — a primary suite, a larger kitchen and family room, or a second story. It is new construction attached to an old one: foundation, framing, roof, envelope, mechanical, electrical and finish, plus the tie-in work where new meets existing.

Additions are priced per square foot against the local build rate, with a size factor (small additions cost more per foot than large ones) and multipliers for finish level, site conditions and structural complexity such as second stories or bearing-wall removal.

Across our four states

Live planning ranges from the current pricing version. Land, design and permit fees, utility connections and unusual soils are priced separately.
