We specialize and focus on designing additions for homeowners, creating working plans that are clear and easy to understand, and providing support throughout the design, permit and building process.

We now exclusively design additions, screen porches, garages, and decks for homeowners. We create working plans that are clear and easy for homeowners to understand, and we provide support throughout the design and building process.

Designing additions is a complex and specialized task that requires years of experience and knowledge. We understand the challenges of adding to an existing home and have the expertise to help you create a beautiful and functional addition that meets your needs.

We take the time to show, explain, and educate you about the process, alleviating your fear of the unknown. We are your best advocate throughout the design and building process, answering your questions and giving guidance in every stage of designing and building your addition.

While we don’t build additions, we will work closely with your builder to ensure that your project is built as expected.
