Brentwood is known for larger lots, and that extra ground is often what makes an addition possible. A family that loves its street but has outgrown the floor plan can add a main-floor primary suite, a bigger family room off the kitchen, a sunroom or a screened porch without giving up the neighborhood. For an older floor plan, an addition is also a chance to add what the original layout never had, such as a mudroom at the garage entry or a bedroom and bath that suit aging parents.

The hard part of any addition is making it look like it was always there. That starts with the roof: the new pitch, overhangs and ridge have to tie into the existing lines without awkward valleys or a flat-roofed box tacked onto the back. Exterior materials come next. Brick has to be matched for color, size and mortar, siding and trim profiles have to line up, and windows should follow the style and proportions already on the house. Inside, floor heights, ceiling lines and trim should carry straight through.

As the general contractor, JACCO takes a home addition from footings and framing through roofing, mechanical work, insulation, drywall and finishes. Early in planning we confirm whether the existing electrical service and heating and cooling can carry the new space or need an upgrade. The connection to the house is planned so existing rooms are opened up as late and as briefly as possible, and you see the full sequence in a written schedule before ground is broken.
