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.
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.
