Additions
Adding on to your home or adding a floor is a great way to increase the square footage and add more space. Sometimes your house is great except it’s missing a mudroom, three season porch, or owner’s suite. Castle Building & Remodeling is an expert in planning additions. Adding on is a complex process that involves zoning, plan review, and many building codes. Some times mechanical systems need to be connected to, updated, or added. Creating an addition that works structurally, blends in seamlessly from the exterior and ties in and fits with the interior space proportionally and stylistically is Castle’s special power.
