Engineered Home Additions Built for Structural Integrity and Lasting Value

What Are Home Additions and How Do They Work?

Home additions are structural modifications made to an existing residential building to increase its square footage, functionality, or property value. Whether it’s adding a new room, extending a kitchen, or constructing a second story, additions require precise architectural planning and compliance with residential building codes. The process involves several stages, including initial consultation, architectural design, structural load analysis, permitting, excavation (if needed), foundation setting, framing, utility rerouting, insulation, and final finishes.

At BergBuilt Home and Hardscape, every project in Sherman begins with an in-depth consultation to assess the scope of your expansion and ensure all zoning, setback, and code requirements are met. Once plans are finalized, structural engineers evaluate existing load paths to ensure safe integration of the new structure. Our team coordinates framing and roofing integration while maintaining HVAC, plumbing, and electrical continuity across both the original and new construction. Final inspections and walk-throughs guarantee compliance and satisfaction.

Whether adding a guest suite, sunroom, garage, or master suite, structural integrity and aesthetic consistency are critical. High-performance materials, engineered beams, and advanced framing techniques are used to preserve the durability and appearance of your home. Each addition is designed to blend seamlessly into your home’s existing layout while maximizing utility and value.
