Home additions always require a building permit. The permit process covers structural plans, foundation, framing, electrical, and final inspections at multiple stages. No licensed contractor will begin an addition without pulling permits — and unpermitted additions must be disclosed in any home sale.
Midwest home additions cost $150–$300 per square foot and return 50–65% at resale. Here's which additions pencil out, which don't, and how to decide for your home.
Bump-outs cost $5,000–$30,000 and expand a room 2–15 feet without new foundation work. Full additions cost $30,000–$100,000+ and require foundation, framing, and roof extension. Here's how to know which your project actually needs.
All home additions require permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. Permit costs run 0.5–2% of project cost. Here's what gets inspected, how long approval takes, and what happens if you skip it.
General liability, workers' comp, and bonding explained — and why a Certificate of Insurance is not the same as actual coverage. What to check before anyone sets foot on your property.
