Does it feel like your family is trying to fit in a space too small, but not interested in the hassle of purchasing a new home?
If you need more space in your house, consider an addition rather than searching for a larger home. For many homeowners, it is a smart investment that increases livable square footage while boosting a home's value. Even if you intend to sell your home shortly, you'll likely recoup around 60 percent of your renovation costs, according to Remodeling's 2020 Cost vs. Value Report.
Additions can be grand, such as building on second additions or two-story spaces, but they don't need to be. From bump-outs to refinishing basements, there are plenty of smaller ways that will greatly impact your home's comfort while optimizing your floor plan.
Sun-rooms, master-suites, entire second levels, and garages are the home additions we do the most often, but our skilled contractors are happy to discuss any ideas you may have to remodel your home. Give your family the space they need with a home addition!
Rock & Tait also provides bathroom remodels and kitchen remodels.

Home Additions + Garages FAQ
How much does a home addition or garage cost?
Can you build both attached and detached garages?
Yes, our home remodeling team builds both attached and detached garages in a variety of sizes and styles. Whether you need extra vehicle storage, a workshop, additional storage space, or a garage with finished living space above, we can design a solution that fits your property and lifestyle.
What types of home additions do you build?
We design and build a variety of home additions, including family room additions, bedroom additions, home offices, sunrooms, mudrooms, expanded kitchens, second-story additions, and attached garages. Every addition is custom designed to complement your home's existing architecture and meet your family's needs.
Is a home addition a better option than moving?
A home addition allows you to gain the space you need without leaving the neighborhood you love. Whether your family is growing or your lifestyle has changed, adding onto your home can be a cost-effective way to increase living space while improving your home's value and functionality.
How long does it take to build a home addition?
Every project is unique, but most home additions take several weeks to several months, depending on the scope of work, weather, permitting, and material availability. During the planning process, we'll provide an estimated timeline so you know what to expect.
Will my new addition match the rest of my home?
Absolutely! Our home remodeling team has the experience to carefully design additions to blend seamlessly with your existing home by matching rooflines, siding, windows, trim, and architectural details whenever possible. Our goal is to make your addition look like it was part of the original home-not an afterthought.
Can you add living space above a garage?
Yes. Many homeowners choose to build a bonus room, guest suite, home office, or hobby room above a new or existing garage. We'll evaluate your home's structure and discuss design options to determine what's possible for your property.
Will a home addition increase my home's value?
A well-designed home addition or garage can significantly improve your home's functionality and market appeal. While every project is different, adding livable square footage or additional garage space is often viewed as a valuable investment by future buyers.
Can I stay in my home during construction?
Many homeowners are able to remain in their homes while an addition is being built. Depending on the location and scope of the project, there may be temporary disruptions. We work to minimize inconvenience, maintain a clean job site, and communicate throughout the construction process.
Do I need a permit for a home addition or garage?
In most cases, yes. Building permits are typically required for home additions and new garages. As your remodeling contractor, we help guide you through the permitting process and work to ensure your project complies with local building codes and applicable regulations.
Why should I hire a general contractor for my addition?
Home additions involve many trades, including excavation, foundation work, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, siding, and finish carpentry. As your home remodeling team, Rock & Tait handles every phase of the project, helping ensure quality workmanship, efficient scheduling, and clear communication from concept through completion.
