Home Addition FAQs

How Do I Estimate the Cost of a Home Addition?

Expanding your home is exciting, but it’s always important to talk numbers first to ensure your vision and budget align. Like most home improvement projects, home addition costs vary based on size, complexity, and finishes. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you can expect to invest:

  • Dormer Addition: $275-$350 per sq/ft - Looking to add space without adding a full footprint? A dormer addition is a fantastic way to create more headroom and natural light while expanding your living area. 

  • Kitchen Addition: $350-$500 per sq/ft - The heart of your home deserves some breathing room. A kitchen addition allows you to create an open, welcoming space with spacious storage, entertaining spaces, and more. 
  • Grand Master Suite Addition: $325-$450 per sq/ft - If your goal is luxury and relaxation, a Grand Master Suite is the ultimate upgrade. Think large steam showers and walk-in closets!

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Home Addition?

Beyond square footage, there are a few key factors that impact the final price tag of your home addition:

  • Foundation Work – First-floor expansions require new foundation work, while second-story additions may need structural reinforcement.
  • Structural Tie-Ins – The goal is a seamless look—matching rooflines, materials, and flooring transitions adds to the cost.
  • Permits & Zoning – Each city has specific regulations, and we handle the paperwork for you.
  • Utilities & Systems – Extending plumbing, electrical, and HVAC can add to the cost depending on the scope.

Can I Live in My Home During a Home Addition?

Most of the time, yes! We schedule work strategically to minimize disruption, so you can continue your daily routine with as little interference as possible. If we’re adding a second story or making major structural changes, you might need to crash somewhere else for a bit—but don’t worry, we’ll give you plenty of notice and help you plan ahead. 

Our goal is to keep your home livable, safe, and as dust-free as construction allows, so you can stay comfortable while we transform your space.

Do Home Additions Increase Property Value?

Absolutely! A well-planned custom home addition adds square footage, functionality, and resale value, especially in high-demand areas like Bloomfield Hills, MI. Beyond just increasing your home’s market value, an addition can also make your space more livable and enjoyable for years to come. 

Features like expanded kitchens, luxury master suites, or home offices are highly desirable to future buyers, giving you a great return on investment while enhancing your day-to-day life. Plus, in competitive real estate markets, a thoughtfully designed addition can make your home stand out and sell faster when the time comes.

How Long Does a Home Addition Take?

Small additions take 3-6 months, while larger projects can take 6-12 months, depending on the complexity and scope. Our team will give you a realistic timeline upfront—and then stick to it! 

We also keep you informed every step of the way so there are no surprises. Factors like permits, weather, and material availability can sometimes affect the schedule, but we plan ahead to keep delays to a minimum.

Who Can Design a Home Addition?

Working with an Architect vs. Design-Build Firms

An addition should look like it was always part of your home, not tacked on as an afterthought. That’s why we collaborate with top architects instead of using a one-size-fits-all design-build approach.

With an independent architect, you get:

  • A one-of-a-kind design tailored to your home
  • Better material & finish selections
  • A final result that looks high-end—not cookie-cutter

How LL Custom Contracting Helps You Plan Your Addition

Not sure where to start? No problem. Here’s how we simplify the process from start to finish:

  • We chat about your goals 
  • We connect you with the right architect for your style & budget
  • We provide early cost estimates to avoid budget surprises
  • We build it, while you sit back and watch your home transform

Who Do You Hire to Build an Addition?

Why Hiring a Specialized Home Addition Contractor Matters

Building an addition is not the same as building a new home—it requires expert knowledge in tying into an existing structure without issues like uneven floors, leaks, or awkward transitions.

With LL Custom Contracting, you get a team that:

  • Specializes in custom home additions in Bloomfield Township, MI, and surrounding areas
  • Understands local building codes and HOA requirements
  • Prioritizes high-quality construction that lasts decades

How to Choose the Right Builder for Your Project

Before hiring a contractor, ask:

  • Do they have experience with additions on homes similar to yours?
  • Do they work with reputable architects?
  • Can they provide references from past addition clients?

We check all those boxes!
