Home Additions
Room additions, second-story pop-ups, sunrooms and in-law suites, framed and tied into the house you already have instead of bolted onto the side of it.
Chapter 01
You outgrew the house without wanting to leave it
That is the reason most additions happen. Room additions, second-story additions, sunrooms and conservatories, in-law suites, garage conversions, kitchen expansions, master bedroom suites and home office additions all come from the same starting point: the house is in the right spot, it just ran out of room.
Megan Swart's home was one of those. She and her family loved the house and the location but had outgrown the main floor, so TLC built a pop-up second-story addition instead of moving. In her words, TLC "brought our vision to life and exceeded our expectations," and the new second story is "seamless to the first level" and gives her family the room they needed in the home they already loved.

A second story has to tie into what is already there
A pop-up addition means building a new floor on top of an existing one, which means the new framing, roofline and load path all have to match a house that was not originally built for it. That is structural work, not just carpentry, and it is priced and explained before anything gets opened up.
Megan Swart credits Cory directly for how that process went, calling him easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, with great follow-through and a commitment to client satisfaction throughout construction. Her crew was dependable, hardworking and friendly from framing through the final finish.
Chapter 03
Additions that do not touch the roofline
Not every addition means a second story. A garage conversion or attic build-out turns space you already have under roof into a real room, usually with less structural work than a ground-up addition, while still needing the electrical, insulation and HVAC to make it livable rather than just enclosed.
Sunrooms, in-law suites and home office additions each carry their own footing and framing requirements, and a kitchen or master suite expansion usually means moving plumbing or electrical along with the walls. Because TLC holds HVAC, plumbing and electrical in house, those trades get scheduled into the same crew instead of waiting on an outside sub.
How the job runs
Every addition starts with a free 3D design, so you can see the new roofline, the room layout and how it meets the existing house before a single footing is dug. The written estimate comes back within three days.
You work directly with Cory from the first walkthrough to the final punch list, and the work carries a one year labor warranty. If anything unexpected turns up once the old roof or wall is opened, you hear about it the same day, with photos, before it gets closed back up.
