Home Additions
in Wichita, KS
More space that looks and feels like it was always part of the house.
When Remodeling Isn't Enough—Build Out
Sometimes the answer isn't rearranging what you have. It's adding what's missing. A home addition gives you the square footage you need without the cost, disruption, and uncertainty of buying and moving to a new house.
Additions allow you to gain the space you need without moving. The challenge is making the new square footage look and feel like it was always part of the house.

Planning Your Home Addition
Adding square footage to your home is one of the most impactful investments you can make — but it requires careful planning to get right. A well-designed addition should feel like it was always part of the house, not an afterthought bolted onto the side. Types of Home Additions Every family's needs are different, and so is every addition. A primary suite addition gives you the bedroom, bathroom, and closet space you've been missing. A sunroom or four-season room brings the outdoors in with natural light year-round. Garage conversions and extensions create flexible space for workshops, home gyms, or extra storage. And accessory dwelling units — ADUs — are increasingly popular in Wichita for multigenerational living or rental income, offering a self-contained living space on your existing property. Matching Your Existing Home The hallmark of a great addition is seamless integration. That means matching rooflines, siding, trim details, and interior finishes so the new space flows naturally with the original structure. Foundation work, structural engineering, and Wichita zoning and permitting requirements all factor into the planning process — details our design-build team handles from day one. Addition or Remodel? Sometimes the space you need is already there — it's just not being used well. Before committing to an addition, it's worth considering whether a whole-home remodel, a basement finish-out, or a reconfigured kitchen and living area could achieve the same result at lower cost. We help homeowners evaluate both paths so you can make the most informed decision for your home and your budget.
Making the New Match the Existing
We design additions so the rooflines, siding, and interior finishes match the existing home. When done correctly, the addition blends seamlessly rather than looking like a later add-on.

Every home addition in Wichita requires a building permit. The city has setback requirements—minimum distances from your property line where construction is allowed. We research your lot's specific requirements before design begins, so there are no surprises.
Yes, in most cases. The addition is built as a separate structure that connects to your existing home. The tie-in phase—when we open the wall between old and new—typically takes a few days to a week.

Smaller room additions may begin around $80k–$120k, while larger additions or second-story projects can reach $200k or more.
