Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs About Residential Additions
Planning a residential addition is an exciting but complex process. Whether you’re expanding your home for extra living space, increasing its value, or enhancing functionality, it’s natural to have questions about design, costs, timelines, and logistics. At Millhawlk Design & Architecture, we believe in full transparency and guiding you through every step. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners have about new additions, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
How do I know if my home is suitable for a new addition?
Before starting a residential addition, it’s essential to assess your home’s structural integrity, lot size, and zoning restrictions. Our team conducts a thorough site evaluation to determine feasibility, ensuring your new space meets local regulations and seamlessly integrates with your existing home. We also review factors like foundation strength, utility connections, and potential layout adjustments to ensure a smooth and efficient expansion process.
How long does a residential addition take from start to finish?
The timeline for a new addition varies based on factors such as design complexity, size, and permitting requirements. Typically, the process includes several key phases:
Design & Planning (4-8 weeks)
We create custom architectural blueprints, obtain necessary permits, and finalize materials.
Permitting & Approvals (4-12 weeks)
Local building authorities review and approve the plans.
Construction (3-6 months)
Foundation work, framing, electrical, plumbing, and finishing details are completed.
While most projects are completed within 3-6 months, larger or more intricate designs may take longer. Our team keeps you updated throughout the process to ensure minimal disruption.
Will my addition match my home’s existing design?
Absolutely! One of the most important aspects of a residential addition is ensuring it looks like a natural extension of your home. We meticulously match roofing, siding, windows, and interior finishes to create a seamless transition. Our architectural team carefully considers structural alignment, ceiling heights, and design aesthetics to make sure your addition enhances both functionality and curb appeal. Whether your home is traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, we ensure a cohesive look that blends beautifully with the original structure.
Do I need to move out during construction?
In most cases, homeowners can stay in their homes while the new addition is being built. However, this depends on the scope of the project. If the addition requires major structural changes—such as removing a roof for a second-story addition—you may need to relocate temporarily for safety and convenience. We create a construction timeline that minimizes disruption, use protective barriers to reduce dust and noise, and coordinate work schedules to make the process as comfortable as possible.
How much does a residential addition cost?
The cost of a residential addition varies based on factors like square footage, materials, labor, and design complexity. On average, home additions can range from $50,000 to $250,000+, depending on the type of expansion. For example:
- Side additions (adding a room or expanding a kitchen) typically range from $50,000–$150,000.
- Second-floor additions can cost $100,000–$250,000 due to structural reinforcement and roofing work.
- Garage additions range from $40,000–$100,000, depending on size and whether it includes living space above.
