Second Story & Home Additions


Expand Up, Add Value – Maximize Your Home’s Footprint

Building a second-story addition is one of the most impactful ways to increase your home’s square footage without losing yard space. Whether you're adding bedrooms, a home office, or a new master suite, second-story additions significantly increase your home's resale value, especially in high-demand areas like Kirkland, WA.

On average, second-story additions cost between $200–$350 per square foot, with construction timelines typically ranging from 4 to 6 months, depending on design complexity and permitting.

Aside from adding usable living space, these additions boost property value, support multi-generational living, and offer a cost-effective alternative to moving into a larger home.

ADU Additions (Attached or Garage Conversions)


Smart Living Solutions That Add Space & Income

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a self-contained living space within or attached to your home—commonly built as garage conversions, basement apartments, or attached suites. Ideal for rental income, in-law accommodations, or guest quarters, an ADU offers homeowners incredible versatility and long-term financial benefits.

The average cost of an ADU ranges from $150,000 to $250,000, depending on size and location within the home. Construction typically takes 4 to 6 months, including design, permitting, and buildout.

In many areas, including Kirkland, Bellevue, and Seattle, ADUs are legally rentable, making them a great way to generate passive income or support family members while increasing overall property value and flexibility.

Bump-Out Additions


Bump-out additions are compact extensions that add a few extra feet to a targeted area of your home—most commonly the kitchen or primary bedroom. This small-scale solution can dramatically improve flow, functionality, and livability, without the full cost of a large addition.

On average, bump-outs cost between $40,000 and $85,000, with construction taking 2 to 3 months. Bump-outs are ideal for homeowners who need “just a little more space” without altering the entire home’s footprint.

Whether it’s a kitchen expansion for a larger island and extra cabinetry, or a master suite bump-out to add a walk-in closet or reading nook, this addition boosts both your daily comfort and resale value in a cost-effective way.
