Add Space Without Moving to a New House

Home addition construction for growing families and changing needs in Durango, Colorado.

When your Durango home no longer has enough room for your family, work, or hobbies, building an addition gives you the space you need without relocating. You might need an extra bedroom, a home office, a larger kitchen, or a family room that connects to your backyard. Hase Home Remodeling and Renovations LLC plans and constructs additions that match your home's existing structure, meet building codes, and integrate seamlessly with your current floor plan.

Home addition projects begin with evaluating your property for available space, setbacks, and utility access, then designing an addition that fits your goals and budget. The crew pours a foundation, frames walls and roof, installs windows and doors, and connects the new space to your existing home with proper insulation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Interior finishes such as drywall, flooring, and trim are installed to match or complement your current rooms.

What Goes Into Building a Home Addition

Your home addition in Durango starts with a design that considers your property's layout, zoning requirements, and how the new space will connect to your existing structure. The crew excavates for the foundation, pours concrete footings and a slab or crawl space, and frames the walls and roof using lumber sized for snow load and wind conditions.

Once the addition is complete, you will have additional square footage that feels like part of your original home, with walls that are insulated and finished, floors that match your existing rooms, and utilities that function without issues. The new space stays warm in winter, the roof does not leak, and the addition blends in with your home's exterior siding and trim.

After framing and rough-in inspections, the crew installs insulation, drywall, and interior finishes such as paint, baseboards, and flooring. Electrical outlets, lighting, and HVAC are connected to your existing systems or upgraded as needed. The work includes exterior finishes such as siding, roofing, and trim that match your home's appearance. It does not include landscaping, driveway extensions, or furniture.

Can I live in my home during construction?
Yes, most homeowners stay in their homes during construction, though you should expect noise, dust, and limited access to certain areas. The crew minimizes disruption by sealing off work zones and scheduling noisy tasks during daytime hours.

How do you connect the new addition to my existing home?
The crew removes a section of the exterior wall where the addition connects, frames the opening, and installs a beam to support the roof load. Insulation, drywall, and finishes are applied to create a seamless transition between the old and new spaces.
