Extensions & Build-Ons
Add Square Footage Without Starting Over
Sometimes you do not need a whole new house. You just need more room. Room additions, bump-outs, and second-story build-ons let you expand what you already have without tearing everything down and starting from scratch. Whether it is a bigger kitchen, an extra bedroom, or a family room that actually fits your family, we build it onto what is already there.
The hardest part of any extension is tying it into the existing structure so it looks and feels like it belongs. We match rooflines, siding profiles, trim details, and foundation types so the new section does not stick out like an afterthought. When we are done, people should not be able to tell where the old house ends and the new part begins.
We handle the full scope of work from start to finish: excavation, foundation, framing, roofing, siding, windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, and all interior finish work. One crew, one point of contact, no chasing down subcontractors yourself. That is how we keep projects on schedule and on budget.
People sometimes ask what the difference is between an extension and an addition. The short answer: extensions expand existing rooms or add onto the current footprint of the house. Additions are typically new separate rooms or wings. There is overlap, and we do both. Our home additions page covers the other side of it. During your consultation we figure out which approach makes the most sense for your property.
Any time you change the footprint or structure of a building, you need permits. Local building codes in Orange County NY and Pike County PA have specific requirements for setbacks, lot coverage, foundation depth, and structural loads. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspections. You do not have to deal with the building department.
We serve Port Jervis, Milford PA, Matamoras, Sparrowbush, Montague, and surrounding areas in Orange County NY and Pike County PA. If you need more space and want it done right, give us a call. We will come out, look at your property, and give you a straight answer on what it will take.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a room extension cost?
Room extension costs depend on the size of the addition, foundation requirements, and how much mechanical work is involved. A small bump-out runs less than a full second-story addition. We provide free estimates with a detailed breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
Do I need a permit for a build-on?
Yes. Any build-on that changes the footprint or structure of your home requires permits in Orange County NY, Pike County PA, and Sussex County NJ. We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspections so you do not have to deal with the building department yourself.
Can you add a second story to my house?
In many cases, yes. It depends on the existing foundation and framing. We assess the structural capacity of your home and determine whether the foundation can support a second floor or if reinforcement is needed. We have done second-story additions on homes throughout the Tri-State Area.
How long does an extension take?
Most room extensions take 6 to 14 weeks depending on the scope. A simple bump-out can be faster, while a full second-story addition takes longer due to structural and mechanical work. We give you a detailed timeline before breaking ground.
Will it match my existing house?
That is always the goal. We match rooflines, siding, trim, and interior finishes so the extension looks like it was always part of the house. We source matching materials and tie into existing structural elements to keep everything consistent.
What's the difference between an extension and an addition?
An extension expands an existing room or adds onto the current footprint of the house. An addition is typically a new separate room or wing. In practice, there is overlap. We handle both. During your consultation we figure out which approach makes sense for your property and your goals.
Do you handle the foundation work?
Yes. We handle everything from excavation and footings to poured foundations and slab work. The foundation is the most important part of any extension, and we do it right. We also manage grading and drainage so the new foundation does not cause water problems.
