Are you considering a home addition? Whether you need more room for a growing family, improved accessibility, or simply want to create an additional living space, Trademark is here to help! With expertise in everything from room extensions and kitchen additions to in-law suites and second-story additions, we ensure that every home addition is both beautiful and functional. Here’s everything you need to know about adding to your home with Trademark:
What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation
When you meet with our team, we’ll spend some time getting to know your needs, vision, and goal for the space. We’ll ask some questions about the way you utilize your home during your daily life so we can make sure to create a space tailored to your lifestyle. We’ll talk about your budget, your must-haves and nice-to-haves for your remodeling project and then take some measurements and photos of the current space and provide a transparent, itemized, and accurate estimate.
How We Can Help You Find the Right Home Addition
Most homeowners have an idea of what they need for their home improvement project, but our goal is to refine that vision to maximize both beauty and functionality. We work closely with you on layout and design, helping to make sure that every square foot of the extra space serves a purpose. Whether it’s expanding a kitchen to improve wheelchair accessibility or reconfiguring a layout for a large family, we make sure your space is designed for optimal use.
Factors to Consider
Several variables impact the average cost of an addition, including the size and design complexity, material choices, any needed structural modifications that can create an extra cost, and time frame considerations. We can help you work through each of these factors, balancing budget with needs.
When it comes to materials, we prioritize longevity and quality in every home addition. Our go-to materials include natural stone countertops, tile for durability and style, water-resistant flooring, and high-quality, long-lasting paint.
Additionally, the legal side of home additions can be overwhelming, but Trademark takes care of the entire process. From obtaining building permits to ensuring compliance with building codes and zoning laws, we handle it all for you!
The Construction Process
We understand that construction can be disruptive. We take every possible step to minimize the impact while creating you extra living space. This includes floor-to-ceiling plastic barriers with zippers to contain dust and debris. Additionally, endless projects are a huge frustration which is why we have an efficient project management system to minimize downtime and get your addition done as soon as possible. We also prioritize respectful communication to keep you informed throughout the process so that you’re never left in the dark.
Blending New Additions with Existing Structures
One of our top priorities is ensuring your home addition looks like it was always part of the original structure. We achieve this by matching stucco, roofing, and paint on the exterior, seamlessly blending flooring, cabinetry, and wall finishes on the interior, and making every design choice feel intentional, not like an afterthought.
For example, one of our recent projects involved extending a living room to create a spacious dining area with floor-to-ceiling sliders for an indoor-outdoor feel. We had a hard time perfectly matching the existing flooring. Instead of forcing an imperfect match, we opted for a smaller tile in a different pattern to make the transition look intentional. It turned out beautifully and looked like the new space had always been there!

Common Challenges in Home Additions
Every project has its challenges, but we do our best to mitigate them for you. During a home addition, we may deal with:
- Timeline Delays – Permits and approvals can sometimes take longer than expected.
- Budget Constraints – We specialize in maximizing space within a budget while maintaining quality.
- Structural Challenges – Sometimes, existing floor plans require adjustments, such as removing walls or upgrading materials, to achieve the best result.
Rest assured, whatever comes up during your addition, we are prepared to handle it!
