HOME ADDITION DESIGN SPECIALIST
IN CHESTERFIELD VA

Additions require a different kind of expertise.

We work directly with homeowners throughout Richmond, Chesterfield and Central Virginia, specializing exclusively in additions and improvements to existing homes.

Adding to an existing home is very different from designing a new one. The addition has to work with the home you already have—not just in appearance, but in how it is built. Rooflines, foundations, structure, circulation, windows, utilities, and the home’s original character must all work together.

Our goals are simple: Create an addition that functions beautifully and looks like it has always belonged with your home, provide clear information for your builder, and be there to support you from the first design ideas through permitting and construction.

SEE YOUR ADDITION BEFORE YOU BUILD IT.

Our CUSTOMIZED 3D DESIGN SYSTEM goes far beyond traditional CAD. We model your existing home, explore design ideas with you, and show you how your addition will look, feel, and connect to your home—before construction begins.

This short video walks through an actual addition and shows how the design works with the existing home.

WE HELP YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS
At the Design Guy, we take the time to show, explain, and guide you through the process so you understand what is happening and what comes next. We remain available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help you navigate the decisions involved in designing and building an addition.

We design your addition—we don’t build it. That allows us to work directly for you, helping you develop the design and prepare clear plans for your builder. We can assist with permitting, communicate with your builder, and support you throughout construction when questions arise.

CLEAR PLANS MATTER
A good design is only part of the job. Your plans also need to clearly communicate the project to the building department and your builder. We prepare detailed home addition construction plans and working drawings designed to clearly communicate the project to your building department and builder.
