Whether you're adding a sunroom to enjoy Utah's brief summers or creating space for a growing family, we design additions that blend seamlessly with your existing structure. In Sugar House's ranch homes, we often build up rather than out to maintain yard space. For Avenues bungalows, we carefully match original moldings and woodwork.
We navigate Salt Lake County's permitting process for you, paying special attention to seismic requirements and snow load calculations. Our additions account for Utah's 50°F temperature swings between day and night, using materials that won't warp or crack.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do additions handle Utah's snow loads?
We engineer roofs to support up to 30 lbs/sq ft - exceeding typical Wasatch Front snowfall. Proper insulation prevents ice dams common in our freeze-thaw cycles.
Can you match my older home's style?
Yes, we source materials from local mills specializing in historic reproductions, particularly for Craftsman and mid-century modern homes common in our area.
