Frequently Asked Questions
Does adding an in-law suite add value?
Adding an in-law suite is a smart investment—not just for resale, but for the everyday comfort and flexibility it brings to your home.
As more Northern Virginia homeowners embrace aging-in-place and multigenerational living, an in-law suite offers a thoughtful way to increase your home’s value while keeping loved ones close.
Do I need a permit for a room addition in Northern Virginia?
In Northern Virginia, most room additions that alter the size, structure, or use of your home require a building permit. Our team takes care of the entire permitting process for you—from the paperwork and project management to county coordination—so you don’t have to worry about a thing. With strong relationships across local jurisdictions, we ensure your project moves forward smoothly and on schedule.
When is a home addition worth it?
We’ve helped numerous homeowners in Northern Virginia unlock the potential of their home by adding a room or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). A room or home addition may be worth the investment if you…
- Need a home office
- Are pursuing living-in-place or multigenerational living arrangements
- Are looking to generate revenue by renting your new space
- Have a growing family and require more space
There are many more reasons why you might consider a room addition, whether your goal is financial, practical or even recreational. Our home remodel specialists are here to inspire you! Contact us today and we’ll brainstorm the many ways a room addition can bring value to your daily life.
Can I live in my house during an addition?
In most cases, yes—you can stay in your home during a room addition. Unlike a whole home remodel, which can disrupt multiple areas at once, a single-room addition is usually more contained and manageable. Our team understands that your home is your sanctuary, and we do everything we can to minimize disruptions and make the process as smooth and respectful as possible.
