Grow your home, keep your neighborhood
Moving means new schools, new commutes and new costs. An addition lets you stay where you are and get the space you need. We look at your lot, your home’s structure and your budget, then plan an addition that looks like it was always part of the house.
Because we also know Chicago real estate, we help you plan space that adds value when you sell.
Planning and permits
Design, drawings and permits coordinated before construction starts.
Foundation and framing
Footings, foundation and framing built to code and inspected.
Roof and exterior tie-in
Roofing, siding and windows matched so the addition blends with your home.
Interior finishes
Drywall, flooring, trim, lighting and paint to match or upgrade the rest of the house.
Kitchens and baths
Expand a kitchen or add a bathroom as part of the same project.
Decks, porches and garages
Outdoor living space and garages that stand up to Chicago winters.

How long does a home addition take?
It depends on the size and complexity. Your written estimate includes a timeline, including permit time, and we keep you updated at every stage.
Do you handle permits and drawings?
Yes. We coordinate the drawings and permits and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
Will the addition match my house?
That is the goal. We match rooflines, siding, windows and trim so the addition looks like it was always there.
Can I live at home during construction?
In most cases, yes. Much of the work happens outside until we connect the addition to the house.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our work comes with a 12-month limited warranty, and Home Repair Matters is licensed and insured.
