Home Additions for Montrose Homes
Home additions in Montrose solve a specific problem: you love your street, but a 1920s cottage was not drawn for the way your family lives now. Rather than trading Cherryhurst or Hyde Park for more square footage elsewhere, we add it — primary suites, expanded kitchens and living areas, and second-story additions engineered to sit correctly on older framing and foundations.
Inner-loop lots are tighter than suburban ones, so the design work matters as much as the construction. We measure the buildable envelope, evaluate the existing structure, and design an addition that reads as original — matched siding, trim, rooflines, and window proportions — then run engineering, City of Houston permitting, and construction as one accountable package.
What's Included
- Structural engineering and permitting
- Foundation work and framing
- Roofline integration and exterior matching
- Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing extension
- Seamless interior finish matching
Home Additions in Montrose, TX.
On an older home, the structural starting point drives cost as much as square footage — the condition of the existing foundation and framing, whether the addition goes up or out, and how much plumbing the new space carries. We evaluate the structure during our walkthrough, then deliver a free itemized quote with engineering, shell, systems, and finishes broken out so you can see where the money goes.
Sometimes as-is, often with reinforcement — the answer lives in the foundation and the original framing. We have the existing structure evaluated by an engineer before designing anything, and if strengthening is required, it's priced into the plan from day one rather than discovered mid-build.
That's the bar we design to. In a neighborhood defined by 1920s–1940s architecture, a mismatched addition hurts both the streetscape and your resale value. We match siding, roof pitch, eave details, and window proportions to the original construction so the addition reads as part of the house, not a chapter added later.
They shape everything — setbacks and lot coverage decide how far out you can build, which is why second-story and rear additions are so common in Montrose. We survey the buildable envelope first and design to it, so the plan that gets engineered is one the lot actually allows.
