Additions and Reconfigurations
I need more room
Morning has arrived.
The coffee is ready—or at least it would be, if three people weren't standing between you and the coffee maker. Someone is looking for breakfast. Someone else has occupied the only useful piece of countertop. There is nowhere sensible to sit.
You consider making a proper coffee, reading the news, perhaps playing a quiet game of chess.
You make an instant instead and leave for work.
It would appear the house has become a little too small for the people living in it.
Perhaps you need a larger kitchen. A breakfast nook. A proper dining room. A bar. Maybe the bathroom has developed similar ambitions.
Whatever the case, you need more room.
And if more room really is the answer, then we build it.
A home addition—a larger kitchen, an expanded bathroom, a bigger living area or a new bedroom suite—can give the house room to accommodate the life happening inside it.
I need a better fit
An old house can be a curious thing. Sometimes there is plenty of square footage—it simply happens to be in all the wrong places.
A wall where no wall ought to be. A dining room nobody uses. A kitchen squeezed into a corner while some mysterious hallway enjoys an unreasonable amount of real estate.
That's where home reconfiguration and structural remodeling come in.
We can rethink the existing footprint, move walls, open rooms and reorganize the layout so the space you already own works considerably harder.
Add or Reconfigure?
Sometimes the house needs to grow. Sometimes it simply needs to make better use of the room it already has.
That's what we'll help you determine.
A home addition gives you new square footage where you need it. A home reconfiguration works within the existing footprint to create a layout better suited to the way you live. And sometimes, the right solution involves a little of both.
So, how do we get you there?
You don't need to arrive with the solution.
Tell us what's bothering you about the house. We'll figure out what the house needs.
There are architectural plans to draw, building permits to obtain, materials to select and, occasionally, a structural engineer who may have something to say about that wall you would very much like to remove. It sounds like quite a bit. Fortunately, you've got Kingston along for the ride.
And when it's all done, you'll have the room to sit, live, gather—and finally enjoy that proper cup of coffee.
