A Wide Range of Home Expansions
When you’re considering adding a room or expanding an existing area of your home, Abrams Builders can work with you from the initial concept through construction. Our team includes licensed and experienced home addition builders who work on a variety of residential expansion projects.
We build a broad selection of different addition types, including:
- Bump outs
- Second story additions
- Kitchen additions
- Sunrooms
- Bedroom additions
- Garage additions
- Front porch conversions
- Mudroom additions
- …and more!
Different types of additions come with their own design, structural, and construction requirements. Our team can discuss the work involved in your proposed expansion, along with the anticipated schedule and budget considerations for the project.
How Our Second Story Installations Work
As families grow or lifestyles change, homeowners may need additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or recreational areas. Expanding vertically can provide this additional living space without increasing the physical footprint of the building or requiring a move to another property.
During a second-story project, our building inspector assesses the existing structure and foundation to determine whether they can support an extra story. The findings from this assessment inform the next stages of the project. We then develop a schematic design for the new floor, and once the design is finalized, our project manager and contractors coordinate the construction work based on the approved plans.
Some of our second-story projects have included attic conversions, additions above garages, and complete second-story installations. If you’ve outgrown your current living space but would prefer to remain in your home, adding another story may provide the additional room you need.
Phone our team to set up an initial consultation and discuss whether a second-story addition is appropriate for your property.
Bump Outs
Bump-outs are small expansions that protrude from an existing structure. They can create additional space within a room, such as extra floor area in a kitchen, a new seating area, or additional storage. Because they’re typically smaller than full-scale additions, bump-outs can be an option when only a modest amount of additional square footage is needed.
Some of the ways we have used bump-outs to add space in residences include:
- Reading nook
- Bay window
- Laundry room
- Storage space
- Closet to a bedroom
- Dining bar in the kitchen
- Pantry to a kitchen
- Fireplace
A bump-out can also change the layout of an existing room and provide space for features that may not fit within its current dimensions. If you’re considering a smaller expansion rather than a full room addition, our team can discuss possible uses and designs for a bump-out in your home.
Discuss Your Home Extension With Abrams Builders
Home additions involve changes to an existing structure, making it important to consider how the proposed work will integrate with the rest of the building. Depending on the addition, structural requirements, available space, design choices, and the intended use of the new area can all influence the construction work involved.
Abrams Builders provides home addition services for homeowners throughout Amherst. Whether you’re considering a bump-out, second-story addition, expanded kitchen, new bedroom, or another type of home extension, call (413) 535-8245 to discuss your project with our team.
