Home additions in Dothan, AL

More square footage without moving out of the neighborhood. We handle the whole addition — permits, foundation, framing, roof tie-in, mechanicals and finishes — and match the new work to the house you already own.

Additions we build

An addition should look like it was always there

The difference between a good addition and an obvious one is in the details: matching the roof pitch, carrying the siding lines through, lining up the ceiling heights, and sizing the HVAC for the extra load instead of hoping the old unit keeps up. That is the part we obsess over.

Types of addition

What homeowners ask us for most

Master suite additions

A proper bedroom, walk-in closet and en-suite bath — usually the highest-value addition per square foot.

  • Bedroom, closet and full bath
  • New plumbing and dedicated circuits
  • Typically 350–600 sq ft

Family room & great room

Open living space off the back of the house, sized so the existing rooms still work the way you use them.

  • Wide openings with engineered beams
  • Vaulted or tray ceilings
  • Matched flooring and trim

Second-story additions

Build up when the lot will not let you build out. Structural review first, always.

  • Foundation and framing capacity check
  • New stair placement
  • Roof removed and rebuilt to match

In-law & guest suites

Private space for family, with the accessibility details planned in from the start rather than retrofitted later.

  • Zero-step entries and wider doorways
  • Curbless showers and blocking for grab bars
  • Separate entrance where zoning allows

Garage conversions

Turn a garage into finished living space — insulated, conditioned, and permitted properly.

  • Floor leveling and moisture barrier
  • Insulation to current code
  • HVAC extension or mini-split

Bump-outs & sunrooms

Small additions that solve a specific problem: a cramped kitchen, a tight dining room, nowhere to put a laundry.

  • 4–12 ft cantilever or slab bump-outs
  • Year-round conditioned sunrooms
  • Shortest schedules we run
What to expect

How an addition runs

Same process on every job, scaled to the size of the build.

  1. Consultation

    We walk the site, look at the roofline, the foundation and the setbacks, and tell you what is realistic on your lot before you spend anything.

  2. Plans & written estimate

    Drawings, engineering where required, and a line-item estimate with allowances spelled out. Permits pulled in our name.

  3. Timeline

    A dated schedule from excavation to final inspection, including the weeks the house will be opened up to weather.

  4. Change orders

    Priced and signed before the work happens. On additions the common one is a foundation surprise — you will hear about it the same day we find it.

  5. Communication

    One project lead, reachable by phone or text, plus an end-of-week update with photos.

  6. Walkthrough & warranty

    Punch list closed out with you on site, then written workmanship warranty and all manufacturer paperwork handed over.

Questions

Addition questions we get every week

How long does an addition take?

Most run 8 to 16 weeks on site once permits are in hand, depending on size and whether the foundation or roof structure has to change. Bump-outs can finish in 4 to 6. We give you dated milestones before we start.

Do I need permits and drawings?

Yes — any addition changes the footprint or structure, so it needs a permit and stamped drawings in most jurisdictions. We handle both, and the permit is pulled in our name, not yours.

Can we live in the house during the work?

Usually. We seal the existing house off from the addition and only cut through when we have to. We tell you in advance which days will be loud, dusty, or without power or water.

Will the addition match my house?

That is the point. We match roof pitch, siding profile, trim details, brick or stone, and window style. Where an exact match is discontinued, we show you the closest options before ordering.

What does an addition cost?

It depends on size, foundation type, and finish level — which is why we will not quote a number over the phone. What you get from us is a free walkthrough and a written line-item estimate you can compare against anyone else’s.
