Home Additions and New Construction in Erie, PA

Seamless integration is one of our specialties. We carefully analyze your home's architectural style, rooflines, materials, trim profiles, and finishes, then design additions that look original to the structure. Our finish carpentry expertise allows us to match or complement existing details with precision.

Production builders focus on volume and efficiency, often using standardized plans and finishes. We take a custom approach to every project — whether an addition or a new home — with hands-on owner involvement, meticulous attention to detail, and a collaborative design process. You're not getting a template; you're getting a home built around how you live.

Timelines vary based on size and complexity. A single-room addition may take 3-4 months, while a larger multi-room or second-story addition can take 6 months or more. New home construction typically ranges from 10-14 months, depending on the scope. We provide detailed schedules during planning and keep you informed throughout.

Second-story additions are complex projects requiring structural evaluation, engineering, and careful planning. The existing foundation and framing must support the new load, and the design must integrate rooflines, systems, and finishes. We manage this complexity and coordinate all necessary engineering and permitting.

In most cases, yes — although there will be periods of disruption, noise, and limited access to certain areas. We plan projects to minimize impact on your daily life and communicate clearly about what to expect at each phase. For extensive projects, some clients choose to temporarily relocate during the most intensive construction phases.

It starts with a conversation. Contact us to schedule an initial meeting where we'll discuss your goals, evaluate your property or existing home, and explore possibilities. From there, we move into design development, detailed proposals, and ultimately construction — with Scott involved every step of the way.
