Home additions are one of the most effective ways to enhance your living space without the upheaval of moving. Whether you’re accommodating a growing family, creating a home office, or preparing to age in place, a well-designed addition can transform your home’s functionality and value.
At Jerry Polich Construction LLC, we specialize in turning homeowners’ visions into reality, combining innovative design with expert craftsmanship. With over 30+ of experience, our team understands the unique challenges and opportunities of home expansion projects, ensuring every addition seamlessly blends with your existing structure while meeting your lifestyle needs.
A successful home addition starts with meticulous planning. At Jerry Polich Construction LLC, we collaborate with homeowners to assess their needs, whether it’s incorporating universal design for aging in place or optimizing natural light for a sunroom. Our team handles all zoning and permit requirements, navigating local regulations to avoid delays. We prioritize architectural harmony, ensuring additions match your home’s existing style—from rooflines to siding materials. Additionally, we address practical concerns like HVAC extensions, electrical upgrades, and plumbing rerouting, ensuring your new space is as functional as it is beautiful.
Our Construction Process
1. Initial Consultation
The first step in the home addition process is an initial consultation with you to understand your needs, goals, and budget. During this meeting, our team will discuss the purpose of the addition (e.g., extra living space, a new bedroom, or a home office), the desired size, and any specific design preferences you have. We’ll also assess your existing property to determine feasibility, zoning regulations, and potential challenges. This step ensures we have a clear understanding of your vision and can provide tailored recommendations.
2. Design & Planning
Once your needs are established, our design team will create a detailed plan for your home addition. This includes architectural drawings, 3D renderings, and material selections. We’ll work closely with you to refine the design, ensuring it aligns with your vision and complements your existing structure. During this phase, we’ll also obtain necessary permits and approvals from local authorities to ensure the project complies with building codes and regulations.
3. Budgeting & Contract Finalization
After the design is approved, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive budget outlining all costs, including materials, labor, and permits. We’ll discuss payment schedules and timelines with you to ensure transparency. Once the budget is agreed upon, a formal contract will be signed, detailing the scope of work, timelines, and responsibilities. This step ensures we’re aligned and sets the foundation for a smooth construction process.
4. Site Preparation & Foundation Work
With the contract in place, the construction phase begins. The first step is preparing the site, which may involve clearing land, excavating, and setting up temporary structures. Next, the foundation for your addition is laid, ensuring it is level, stable, and properly integrated with your existing home. This phase is critical to the structural integrity of the addition, and our team will conduct regular inspections to ensure quality and safety
5. Construction & Installation
Once the foundation is complete, the construction of your home addition begins. This includes framing, roofing, electrical and plumbing work, insulation, and drywall installation. Our team will coordinate all aspects of the build, ensuring each step is completed to the highest standards. Throughout this phase, we’ll keep you updated on progress and address any questions or concerns promptly. The goal is to create a seamless addition that looks and feels like it was always part of your original home.
6. Final Touches & Project Completion
The final step involves adding the finishing touches, such as painting, flooring, trim work, and installing fixtures. Once construction is complete, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our quality standards and your expectations. We’ll also arrange for any necessary final inspections with local authorities. After approval, we’ll hand over the completed project to you, guiding maintenance and care for your new space. Our goal is to deliver a home addition that enhances your lifestyle and adds value to your property.
