Room Additions in Birmingham, AL
A single room addition is the most common way to fix a house that is nearly right. A bedroom, a den, an office, a bigger family room. Smaller than a wing, and still a real construction project with a foundation and a roof.
We price it as a finished room, with the systems and the exterior match included rather than listed as extras.

Small does not mean simple. These are the pieces we price.
One Room Short
Usually it is a bedroom, or somewhere to work with a door that closes, or a family room that fits everybody at once. Adding the one room is far less disruptive than moving, and cheaper than the house you would have to buy to get it.
We look at where it can go without darkening the rooms it attaches to.
Level and Square
The most obvious sign of a cheap addition is a change in floor level at the doorway. We set the new floor system to finish flush with the existing one, which takes planning at the foundation stage rather than shims at the end.
Ceiling heights get matched for the same reason.
Systems
Adding a room means adding load to the heating, cooling and electrical systems. Sometimes there is spare capacity and sometimes there is not, and that is worth knowing before the framing goes up.
We check the panel and the system at the estimate and put the answer in the written scope.
Home Value
Buyers filter by bedrooms before anything else. Going from three to four puts the house in front of a different set of people, which matters more than a slightly larger living room would.
That relies on it being permitted and properly conditioned, which is how we build.
