Transforming a Home with a Custom Addition
Making a difference…
This home addition project in Saxonburg, PA focused on creating a well-integrated expansion that felt cohesive with the existing structure while significantly improving the home’s functionality. The project included removing an outdated, poorly constructed addition and replacing it with a new, thoughtfully framed space designed for long-term performance and comfort.
Design & Planning…
A key component of this project was ensuring the new addition blended seamlessly with the original home. This required careful planning, particularly where the new structure tied into the existing rooflines and wall systems. The scope also included coordinating with a separate contractor for the slab-on-grade foundation with in-floor radiant heat, ensuring proper sequencing and a smooth transition between trades.
In addition to the addition itself, new windows were installed throughout the entire home, creating a unified exterior appearance and improving overall efficiency.
Materials & Construction…
The addition was framed using 2×6 exterior walls, providing strength and improved insulation potential. A custom-cut roof system was installed to properly integrate with the existing structure, topped with corrugated metal roofing for durability and a clean, modern look.
As part of the scope, a portion of the existing home was carefully demolished and reframed to create a safe, structurally sound connection between old and new. This approach ensured the finished addition functioned as a true extension of the home rather than a standalone structure.
