Home Additions in Galloway, NJ

Build Out or Build Up

A ground-level addition can add a family room, primary suite, or bedroom. A kitchen expansion can create space for an island or dining area. A second-story addition adds a full or partial floor. For that work, a licensed engineer checks the existing foundation and frame before design begins.

Connect the New Space to the Home

The new room needs a planned link to the house. Licensed engineers design the foundation, framing, and that connection. For a second story, they check whether the home can carry the added load. The design also plans the way the new space flows with the rooms already there.

Design and Site Planning

The first meeting covers how you want to use the new space and a review of the home and lot. ABBA coordinates design, engineering, permits, and the build. Drawings and applications are prepared for local review. The project has one manager to keep the scope, schedule, and updates in one place.

Size, Site, and Finish Choices

The size, number of floors, and design affect the scope. So do the foundation, site conditions, and any work needed for the new space. Inside and outside finishes are planned to work with the house. Your written proposal sets out the work and its price. Added work needs a signed change order.
