Additions

Home Additions

Expanding your living space with seamless home additions that blend perfectly with your existing structure, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
At Landis, our home addition services are focused on expanding your living space while seamlessly integrating with your existing home. Whether you’re looking to add a new room, extend your living areas, or create a dedicated space for work or relaxation, we work closely with you to design and build an addition that complements your home’s character.

An addition can be a small bump-out, or a single or multiple-level structure on a single-family home or a pop-up third-story addition on a rowhouse. Whether you are bumping out a wall, adding onto the main level or raising the roof for a second story, in every addition project, our architects and designers aspire to:

  • Design an addition that blends with the existing house and site, unless otherwise desired by the client
  • Create a seamless connection between the existing house and addition
  • Advise you on the ideal square footage to fulfill your needs
  • Build better views, add natural light, and improve your home’s relation to the outdoors
  • Take advantage of the new walls to improve insulation and weatherproofing

How long does a typical Additions project last?

While each project is unique, there are some typical times to expect for your general design and construction schedule.

Initial Design Review

2 - 4 Months

Next, our designers will ask about your overall goals for the home, including whether the renovation will cover both the interior and exterior. They will also inquire about your preferences for an open plan, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms needed, and if new windows and doors are required.

Permitting and Approvals

2 - 4 Months

As you finalize selections, our designer will be creating construction drawings to submit for a building permit. In D.C., the submission and approval process can take several months (it is a little shorter in Maryland and Virginia).

Construction ( Typical )

3 - 8 Months

Once we secure the permit, we will start demolition and move into framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall etc. The punch list of small items is the last segment. The timeline to completion depends on structural complexity and if an addition is involved. After that, you will be enjoying your beautifully renovated home.

Total Project Time : 7-16

7 - 16 Months
