What Goes Into Building an Addition

Building an addition in Castleton starts with site preparation, which includes excavation and pouring a foundation that matches the load and frost depth requirements of your existing home. From there, framing goes up to define walls, windows, and ceiling height, followed by roofing work that ties into your current structure without creating leaks or weak points.

Once the exterior is weathertight, you'll notice the new space takes shape quickly. The addition will have level floors, square corners, and walls ready for insulation and finish work. Windows and doors will open smoothly, and the roofline will shed water just like the rest of your home.

John Trombley Construction coordinates the structural and exterior phases, working with other trades as needed to complete electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes. The goal is to deliver a space that's ready to use, built to last, and designed to fit how you actually live.

Before starting an addition, most homeowners want to know how the work will affect their daily routine, what the timeline looks like, and how the new space will connect to the rest of the house.

Questions homeowners in Castleton often ask

How long does a typical home addition take?
Most additions take between eight and twelve weeks depending on size and complexity. Weather and permitting can affect the timeline, but you'll have a clear schedule before work begins.
What happens to the exterior where the addition connects?
The existing siding is removed in the connection area, and new framing is tied into the original structure. Roofing, siding, and trim are then installed to match, so the seam is weathertight and visually consistent.
Will I need to move out during construction?
You can usually stay in your home throughout the project. There will be noise and some dust, especially when cutting through exterior walls, but access to your main living areas remains intact.
What if my home has an older foundation or framing?
Older homes in Castleton often require additional reinforcement or adjustments to match the new addition. John Trombley Construction evaluates the existing structure and builds accordingly to maintain stability and code compliance.
Can an addition increase my property value?
Yes, adding functional square footage typically increases resale value, especially when the addition matches the home's style and serves a clear purpose like an extra bedroom or expanded living area.
