More Room to Live Without Leaving the Home You Love
The right home additions project gives you permission to keep writing your story in the place you already cherish. Whether you need an extra bedroom for a growing family, a serene home office, or an independent in-law suite, a thoughtfully planned home addition adds comfort, flexibility, and long-term value without the stress of moving.
At E&E Construction and Remodeling, we design and build expansions that look and live as though they were always part of the house. Our in-house design-build team guides every step, merging architectural continuity with modern performance so you gain space, not headaches.
Let’s design the space your life deserves.
What We Build
Room Additions
A seamless footprint expansion that extends the living or sleeping space. We align rooflines, match exterior finishes, and craft airy interiors so your new room addition feels born with the house, complete with natural light flow and hidden storage.
Second Story Additions
For tight lots or protected backyards, building up is smarter than building out. Our engineers reinforce foundations, tie new framing into existing walls, and replicate siding profiles for a cohesive second story addition that doubles the living area without sacrificing yard space.
Primary-Suite Wings
A private retreat featuring a spa-inspired bath, generous walk-in closet, and optional balcony. We orient suites for morning light, acoustic privacy, and direct outdoor access, with premium square footage that lifts daily life and resale.
In-Law Suites
Independent living spaces that respect privacy and comfort. From attached casitas to detached cottages, every in-law suites project meets accessibility codes and includes dedicated HVAC, kitchenette, and sound isolation.
Home Offices & Flex Spaces
Distraction-free zones designed for remote work, fitness, or future conversion. Built-in desks, acoustic panels, and convertible layouts ensure the space evolves alongside your goals.
Sunroom & Enclosed Patios
Four-season living that blurs indoor–outdoor boundaries. High-efficiency glazing, insulated roofs, and motorized shades make sun room additions bright gathering spots even on chilly Bay Area mornings.
What’s Included
Site Evaluation & Feasibility
We inspect structural loads, survey setbacks, and flag zoning nuances before design begins.

You’ll walk a virtual model of your future space, adjusting finishes and flow in real time.
Permit-Ready Home Addition Plans
Complete structural, MEP, energy, and Title-24 documentation packaged for rapid approval.
Transparent Budgeting
A line-item estimate plus an optional home addition cost calculator worksheet shows exactly how choices affect total spend
Construction & Project Management
Licensed crews, on-site supervision, dust control, and milestone inspections keep quality high and disruption low.
Interior Finish Coordination
Cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and color palettes curated to echo the existing home while elevating comfort.
Post-Project Support

How Our Process Works
Consultation & Discovery
Share ideas, Pinterest boards, or home addition ideas you love; we’ll outline scope, timelines, and early costs.
Design & Engineering
Our architects refine layouts while engineers verify loads critical for intricate house extension or lift-roof projects. You’ll review elevations, 3-D visuals, and material samples before permits are submitted.
Permitting & Scheduling
We manage city submittals, energy forms, and inspections, slotting construction phases to minimize impact on daily life.
Construction & Communication
You receive weekly photo logs, budget updates, and site-walk invitations. Milestones include framing walkthrough, rough-in verification, and finish mock-ups.

Architectural Continuity
We replicate roof pitches, fascia details, and stucco textures so the addition never looks “bolted on.”
Efficiency & Comfort
Title 24 insulation, solar-ready conduit, and smart HVAC zones future-proof energy bills.
Client-First Communication
Slack channels, shared schedules, and rapid answers eliminate the guesswork common with generic home addition contractors
Project Spotlight – Palo Alto Whole-Home Revival
The owners loved their 1940s cottage but needed space for a newborn and weekend hosting. We extended 550 sq ft off the rear, framing a vaulted family room and adding a spa-style primary suite with French doors to the garden. Exterior shingles, divided-lite windows, and aged-copper
gutters match the original façade; inside, white-oak floors run seamlessly between old and new spaces.
“E&E’s addition looks like it’s been here forever. The flow, the light, the details, everything belongs.”
— Linda. S, San Jose
Frequently Asked Questions
Most room additions finish within 14–18 weeks; complex second stories can extend to six months due to structural upgrades and roofing integration
Yes, phased scheduling and dust partitions keep core living zones functional. Large structural lifts may require short off-site stays.
Not with E&E. Our design-build model bundles architecture, engineering, and construction under one contract faster and more economically than hiring separate home addition contractor teams.
Bay Area home addition prices currently start around $350–$500 per sq ft; hillside sites, premium finishes, or seismic retrofits raise costs. Our estimates clarify each factor so you can prioritize.
