Penn Contractors Know Home Additions

Home additions have always been a special niche for us. As Design-Build remodelers, we love to dig in on complex, single, or multi-room home addition projects. In many ways, home additions are far more challenging than building a home from scratch. With a custom home build, you're building a new structure from the ground up, and the homeowners aren't occupying the space. There are far fewer parameters to respect when you build something brand new.

With a home addition project, you're opening up a sealed structure, removing walls, and addressing how structural loads are distributed. Clients are almost always living in the home during the construction phase. Few small job contractors have the expertise and resources to assume that level of risk. A renovation professional must manage design, budget, and execution to ensure a successful project outcome.

Penn Contractors is a proud home builder and remodeler in Lehigh Valley. We have been perfecting our craft for over 30 years in the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton areas. We’re more than just Lehigh Valley general contractors. We’re not "Chuck in a Truck" or the handyman who’ll have a go at a patch and repair job. We partner with skilled design professionals and seasoned artisans to elevate existing residential spaces and create stunning new ones. Our rigorously detailed work scopes leave nothing to the imagination. We know exactly how the project is going to unfold. Review our stunning portfolio for further proof that Penn Contractors has what it takes to complete your Allentown home addition.

How Much Will My Home Addition Cost?

The really unsatisfying answer is that the cost of your home addition will depend on the type of space you’re adding. Every 400-square-foot addition requires a unique project scope. Your materials, finishes, and the amount of structural modifications required for your existing home will influence the cost of your home addition. The cost of building up is usually a little more than building out, but adding stories to your home may be your only solution if you don’t have much space to spare. You may pay $100 per square foot for a kitchen bump out, but the price tag for an upscale master addition on a bespoke midcentury home could cost $300 per square foot or more.
