How Much Does a Home Addition Cost?

What actually drives the price of an addition, from square footage and foundation to finishes and permits.

An addition is priced by the job, not a sticker. Home additions are one of the things Samuel focuses on most, and a few things move the number more than anything else.

Square footage and foundation

More space costs more, and whether the addition needs a new foundation, a slab, or ties into the existing structure changes the number a lot.

Finishes

The same shell can cost wildly different amounts depending on the kitchen, bath, flooring, and trim you choose. Samuel helps you match finishes to the budget during the consultation.

Permits and site conditions

Permitting, utilities, and what we find once we open a wall all factor in. Additions we take on typically run from $10,000 for a small addition up to well over $100,000 for a larger build-out, and we quote it honestly so the number holds.
