Whether you're adding a sunroom to enjoy Utah's summer evenings or creating space for a growing family, we specialize in seamless additions that complement your existing architecture. For Sugar House ranches, we design additions that maintain the original rooflines. In newer Draper developments, we match contemporary finishes.
Our process begins with evaluating your foundation's capacity for expansion - crucial in our earthquake-prone region. We then address Utah's unique climate considerations, like proper insulation for winter inversions and ventilation for summer heat. Every addition includes snow load calculations specific to your roof pitch and location.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical addition take?
Most projects take 8-12 weeks depending on size. We build in extra time for Utah's unpredictable spring weather that can delay concrete work.
Will my addition require foundation work?
Many older homes in the Avenues need foundation reinforcement. We always inspect before proposing solutions.
How do you handle HOA approvals in newer areas?
We're familiar with Draper and Lehi HOA requirements and can prepare all necessary submissions.
