Investing in Your Forever Home: Why Additions Are the New Move

With limited inventory and rising mortgage rates, more homeowners in northern and central New Jersey are staying put and expanding. If you love your neighborhood but have outgrown your home, an addition may be the perfect solution.

Why Additions Are on the Rise

  • Less competition: No need to enter a bidding war for a new home.

  • More control: Get exactly what you want without compromising.

  • Increase value: A well-designed addition can significantly boost your home’s resale value.

Popular Additions We Build

  • Expanded kitchens & open floorplans

  • Primary suites with walk-in closets and spa bathrooms

  • Finished basements or attics

  • Guest/in-law suites or bonus rooms over the garage
