What is involved in an addition?
An addition starts with framing. Roofing, siding, windows, and doors close the new space. Drywall, trim, and flooring finish the inside. Electrical and plumbing are part of the job when the new room needs power, lights, or water. Ask about engineering and permits when you talk through the addition.
Which trades follow the frame?
Roofing and siding close the addition to the weather. Windows and doors are the openings. Drywall follows the framing. Trim and flooring finish the inside. Electrical covers power and lights. Plumbing is part of the job when the new room needs water. A deck is a separate project when the added space is outside. A screened porch can sit with either one.
What changes the work?
The footprint, whether the new room is a bed, a bath, or living space, and how it ties into the existing roof and walls. A deck frame and a room addition are not the same price conversation. Pricing options and a timeline are discussed for the scope.
What about permits?
Ask about engineering and permits when you talk through the addition or the wall change. Electrical permits are part of new-construction electrical, for a building that is being built, and part of pool wiring. Call 443-513-0208 with the town and a short description of the room.
