Expert Construction company
Services in Chicago

From bump-outs to full second stories, we craft every type of Chicago addition under one roof.

Two-story rear home addition under construction in Lincoln Square
Home Additions Chicago

We pour frost-protected footings, frame with engineered lumber, and tie new rooflines into existing trusses for seamless flow. Plans stamped by structural engineers, permits pulled in 72 hrs. Brick and siding matched to original coursing. HVAC extensions sized with Manual-J calcs so the new space heats and cools evenly.

Room Additions Chicago

Need a 200-sq-ft kitchen expansion or a first-floor primary suite? We open load-bearing walls with LVL beams, run new 20-amp circuits, and integrate PEX plumbing without tearing up finished floors below. Site is broom-clean nightly; kids and pets stay safe.

Detached 2-car garage addition with matching brickwork in Beverly
Garage Additions Chicago

We tear off flat-roof garages and pour monolithic slabs with integrated stem walls for 2-car builds. 9-ft ceilings, R-19 insulated doors, and in-floor conduit for EV chargers. Brick veneer and soffits match the existing house so it looks like it’s always been there.

Second-floor master suite addition framed over existing bungalow in Portage Park
Second-Story Additions

Pop the top without moving out. We install temporary shoring walls, crane in prefab floor trusses, and complete the roof in 5 days flat. Spray-foam insulation and new egress windows satisfy Chicago fire code. Average ROI: 68%.

Accessible in-law suite addition with ramp and wide doorways in Rogers Park
In-Law Suites

Private entrances, full baths, and mini-split HVAC systems meet aging-in-place guidelines. We handle zoning variances for Chicago ADU rules and install zero-threshold showers and 36-inch doorways. Permits to paint in 6 weeks.

Kitchen bump-out addition with bay window seating in Wicker Park
Bump-Out Kitchen Expansions

"The in-law suite over our garage passed inspection on the first try. Dad loves his private entrance and walk-in shower."
