Room Addition · Bay Area
When your Bay Area home no longer fits your family's needs, a room addition is often the most cost-effective solution — especially in a market where moving up means paying $1M+ more for a larger home. Homee Renovation has completed room additions across San Francisco, San Mateo, Los Gatos, Cupertino, Palo Alto, and beyond, adding everything from master suite expansions to full second-story additions.
Room additions are among the most complex home improvement projects, requiring structural engineering, foundation work, roofing, and careful coordination with the existing structure. Homee Renovation's team has the experience to manage all of this — from initial feasibility assessment through final inspection — with a single accountable team.
Every Bay Area city has its own setback requirements, height limits, lot coverage rules, and design standards that govern what you can build and where. Our permit team has deep experience with these requirements across 15+ Bay Area cities and manages the full permit process on your behalf, including pre-application meetings, plan check coordination, and inspection scheduling.
Our wholesale material dealer relationships save clients 30%+ on windows, doors, flooring, cabinetry, and finishes for the new addition — and our in-house designer is included free with every project to ensure the addition integrates seamlessly with your existing home's aesthetic.
