Home Additions
BUILDING CUSTOM SPACES
We help homeowners create a space that’s uniquely theirs. Amrami’s home design consultants work
closely to make sure every custom home addition can stand the test of time. We’ve guided many
homeowners through successful custom home additions and we know how to make the process flow
smoothly and efficiently.
FOR YEARS WE’VE BUILT A WIDE RANGE OF HOME ADDITIONS
We take pride in every project from sunrooms to work-from-home spaces we know how to create a space that’s made just for your unique lifestyle. Some of our projects include master suite additions, family rooms, entertainment centers and athletic additions. We have the expertise to create any type of space.

INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS
Frequently Asked Questions
We design and build a wide range of home additions, including extra bedrooms, expanded kitchens, family rooms, second stories, and in-law suites. Each addition is planned to integrate naturally with the existing home, both structurally and visually, so it feels like it was always meant to be there.
Suitability depends on factors like lot size, zoning rules, existing structure, and your goals for the space. We start by reviewing your property and discussing what you want to achieve. From there, we can advise on what’s possible and what approach makes the most sense.
Yes. A key part of our process is making sure the addition blends seamlessly with the existing home. This includes matching materials, rooflines, finishes, and interior details so the new space feels cohesive rather than separate or added on.
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the addition, as well as permitting requirements. Larger or multi-level additions take longer than simpler expansions. We provide a realistic timeline early in the process and manage scheduling carefully to keep the project moving efficiently.
In many cases, yes. Whether you can stay depends on where the addition is located and how much of the existing home is affected. We discuss this upfront and plan the work to minimize disruption whenever possible, while being honest about what to expect.
We manage the permitting process and coordinate with local authorities as part of the project. Zoning and setback rules can affect what’s allowed, so we address these early to avoid delays and ensure the addition complies with local building regulations.
We work closely with you to define scope and priorities early, which helps control costs. If unforeseen conditions arise—such as structural issues—we explain the situation, review options, and discuss costs before proceeding. Clear communication helps avoid surprises later on.
Yes. As a design-build firm, we handle both design and construction under one team. This allows for better coordination, clearer communication, and smoother execution, ensuring the design decisions are practical and aligned with how the addition will be built.
