Question 1 of 50%

What are you adding?

Pick whichever is closest.

What your estimate is buying

The math behind an addition that holds its value.

These are the details that decide whether an addition still feels solid in a decade — and they're all built into the number you'll see in 60 seconds.

Home addition foundation under construction with poured concrete footings and formwork

The foundation

The foundation decides everything.

Footings, excavation, soil, and a code-compliant foundation are the base every addition stands on — and the place hidden surprises live. Your estimate prices the dig, not just the walls.

Home addition mid stick-framing with exposed wall studs, joists, and roof rafters

The framing

Framing decides what you can actually build.

Stick framing, floor joists, the roof tie-in — the bones of your addition. Skimp here and everything downstream suffers. Your estimate prices real structural lumber, engineered to span the space.

Roof tie-in where a new addition roof meets the existing roof with step flashing

The roof tie-in

The roof tie-in is the seam nobody mentions.

Where the new roof meets the old is where every addition leaks — if it's done wrong. Proper step flashing and ice-and-water membrane are the detail that keeps your addition dry for thirty years.

The space

Every square foot has a price.

An addition is bought by the square foot — foundation, framing, systems, finishes, all multiplied by size. Your estimate breaks that rate down so you see exactly what each extra foot costs.

Home addition rough-in with exposed HVAC ductwork, plumbing, and electrical runs

The mechanicals

Mechanicals are the hidden second budget.

Extending HVAC, electrical, and plumbing into the new space is a whole second budget most quotes bury. Your estimate prices the ductwork, runs, and panel capacity to actually heat and power the room.

The result

The room that pays for itself.

A well-built addition adds square footage, livability, and resale — done right, it appraises for more than it costs. One realistic cost range on your screen in 60 seconds, no call, no pressure.

Why you can trust this number

An estimate is only as good as the experience behind it.

16 years in North Jersey

We know what additions actually cost to build here — permits, engineering, soil, the works — not a national average that's never poured a footing in Bergen County.

98% first-time inspection pass rate

Footings, framing, rough-in, and final inspections — the ones that stall other projects for weeks. Our estimates reflect work that passes the first time.

Real local material & permit rates

Pricing reflects what lumber, concrete, labor, and North Jersey permit fees actually cost in 2026 — from trade pricing we pass on to you.

500+ projects completed

This range isn't a guess. It's grounded in hundreds of real projects — many of them additions just like the one you're planning.
