Kitchen Expansions and Additions
Sometimes the answer is more room. A bump-out for a breakfast nook, a bay window over the sink or a whole addition can give a kitchen the space it needs. These projects involve foundations, framing, roofing and permits, and we plan them so the new space blends in with the house.

About kitchen expansions and additions
Do additions need permits?
Yes, almost always. They involve foundations, framing and often new utilities. We prepare drawings and help you submit, and you confirm requirements with your local office.
How long does an addition take?
Longer than an interior remodel, because of permits, weather and the construction steps. Our Remodel Timeline tool shows a typical range for a layout-change project.
Will the new space match my house?
That is the goal. We plan roofing, siding, windows and trim to match, and we show you the plan before building.
