We build custom home additions in Fairfield County, including locations such as Southport, Greenfield Hill, Fairfield Beach, and Westport.

When you know you’re lacking that extra space that would make life at home easier and more comfortable, it can be frustrating. Or maybe you’re expecting a new family member or an older loved one to move in soon. Adding onto your Fairfield area home has the power to solve a lot of problems, like a need for more storage, a place to house guests, create a more functional layout in a larger kitchen, or adding another bathroom. 

Adding onto your existing Connecticut home requires specific professional expertise, gained from years of experience and training. Your addition will need to blend seamlessly with your home, feeling as if it’s always been there. At Raymond Design Builders we specialize in keen design that addresses not only the space you need but the spectacular style you want.

We’ll assess your home as it is today, ask about your home’s challenges, and we’ll work together to find solutions that fit your unique lifestyle and design goals. Collaboration is key and we truly enjoy every opportunity to improve the lives of our clients through the design-build process. 

Home additions have so much potential, and it’s common to start by asking questions so you’ll feel prepared going into the consultation and planning phases.

Frequently Ask Questions About Home Additions in Connecticut

 

How much does it cost to add an addition to a house in Connecticut?

On average, adding onto your home can cost $80-$200 per square foot in the Fairfield area. The cost for your specific addition will depend on the type of room you’re adding on as well as the size and the location. For example, adding a second floor and building outward on the ground level will require different scopes of work, resulting in different costs, even for the same square footage. 

The type of room you’re adding will vary in cost. Expanding your kitchen and adding a half bath will cost more than adding onto your family room or an additional bedroom. The complexity of the former far surpasses the latter rooms. 

 

What do I need to know before building an addition?

While you’re adding onto your home, consider if the adjacent spaces could also use an update. Remodeling the parts of your home that will lead into the addition should blend seamlessly, so updating finishes and paint can help make the transition a clean one. You also don’t want the addition to stand out as being brand new while the adjacent spaces are dated with out-of-style finishes. 

Where do I start if I want to add on to my house?

There are two places to start when you’re considering any type of remodel: your budget and your needs. What you’re hoping to get out of a remodel will have to fit within your budget, so working with an experienced design-build team that can find solutions that fit within your budget will make for the best experience and outcome. 

How long does adding a room take in Connecticut?

Knowing the timeline of your home addition is tricky without knowing the type of addition. The length of time could be anywhere between a few weeks to months. To best understand how long your addition could take, talk to a design-build firm that specializes in additions. Raymond Design Builders will take the time to understand your remodeling goals to give you a timeline estimate to know what to expect when you start your remodeling journey. 

Is it worth adding an addition to your home?

Do you love your Fairfield, Southport, or Westport neighborhood, the community you’ve built, the style of your home, and your proximity to everything you and your family need? If you’ve answered yes to even one of these considerations, it’s worth exploring what an addition can do for your home and your family. Also, if there is a possibility that you’ll be selling your home in the future, it stands to reason that any future family will also find value in the addition you’re envisioning.
